Autodesk AutoCAD 2027
The drafting application that the DWG format was built around.
Garment creation through real pattern drafting and physical cloth simulation, producing 3D clothing that drapes correctly because it was constructed the way real clothing is.
Overview
Marvelous Designer approaches 3D clothing the way a tailor does. You draft flat pattern pieces, sew them together along their seams, and let the simulation drape the result over a body. Nothing is sculpted, nothing is approximated, and the folds fall where they fall because the geometry and the fabric behaviour say they should. That is why clothing made here looks right in a way that modelled clothing rarely does.
The pattern tools are proper drafting tools. Pieces are drawn as flat shapes with darts, pleats, gathers, and notches, seam allowances are handled, and symmetry is maintained across the centre line automatically. Anyone who has drafted a real garment will recognise the workflow immediately, and anyone who has not can start from the substantial library of included patterns.
The fabric model covers the properties that actually determine how cloth behaves: weight, stretch in both directions, bending resistance, friction, and thickness. Preset materials cover the common textiles and each is adjustable, so the difference between a stiff cotton and a heavy silk is a set of numbers rather than a different technique. Layered garments interact correctly, so a jacket sits over a shirt rather than through it.
Simulation runs live while you work. Drag a seam and the garment redrapes immediately. Change a fabric weight and the fall changes as you watch. Animated simulation handles a moving character, with collision against the body and against the garment's own layers, and the result exports as a cached sequence for use in a render.
The Enterprise configuration includes the full feature set with no restrictions on export format, polygon count, or simulation resolution, plus the extended pattern and fabric libraries and the pipeline tools for moving garments between the applications that a studio actually uses.
Feature set
Flat pieces with darts, pleats, gathers, and seam allowances, sewn along seams the way a garment is actually built.
Weight, two way stretch, bending, friction, and thickness driving how each material falls.
The garment redrapes immediately as seams, patterns, or fabric properties change.
Simulation against a moving character with body and self collision, exported as a cached sequence.
Multiple pieces interacting correctly so outerwear sits over what is underneath it.
No export, polygon, or resolution restrictions, with the extended libraries and pipeline tools included.

Questions
It helps considerably, but the included pattern library gives you working garments to modify rather than starting from a blank sheet.
Yes, through the standard mesh and cache formats, with the option to retopologise before export.
Yes. Import the animated body, run the simulation against it, and export the cached result.
It removes the export, polygon, and resolution limits of the lower tiers and includes the extended libraries and pipeline tools.
