At this time, I don't have the ability to pay for Marvelous Designer on a monthly or yearly basis for clothing mesh creation. I was wondering if it's possible to use one of the newer versions of Blender (version 3.0 or later) instead of Marvelous Designer to create clothing meshes, since they seem to have introduced sewing. I know MD is specifically designed for this purpose; I'm hoping I might be able to use it after I'm sufficiently confident with the CC clothing creation process.
Thank you for your time and attention!

Hi. Absolutely. You don’t even need to sew anything in a way it is done in MD.
Just find a similar maxis item, open it in blender, remove unnecessary parts, modify the mesh to your liking, quandrangulate it, subdivide, then turn it into cloth, and simulate it. Same thing as MD but much much faster and easier

Thank you so much for your response! If I did want to do the sewing myself, would I still be able to do that using Blender 3.0+ and then export the mesh into the Sims 4 compatible versions? I'm pretty much hoping to use Blender 3.0+ just like MD. I had a trial for MD and played around with it, but I can't pay for it once the trial ends so I'm hoping for a very similar replacement.

For example what I mean is if I use an item from spa day will it only be usable if the person has spa day? Thanks |

Thanks In this case it does not matter at all unless you will decide to keep the original textures. Pack requirement-wise, what you clone matters only if you plan on leaving certain original resources. For example, if you will clone a spa day dress and replace its diffuse only, everything else will stay referenced instead of embedded and people would need to have the spa pack to use this item. but if you will replace all textures and meshes with custom ones, then this package will in no way rely on the original resources and people would not need the spa pack. |
