What happens during MDD importĮach frame of the animation will create a Shape Key in your original object, describing how the vertices should be moved at every step. That’s normal (again “charming”), and it helps to understand what is going on under the hood. Blender won’t give you any progress reports and may appear to hang. The import process will take some time, depending on the size of your object and the length of the animation. Tick the box and the option should show up. Head over to Edit – Preferences – Add-ons, then search for “mdd”. If you don’t see this option in Blender, don’t panic: we need to activate an included add-on for it to show. Head over to Import – Lightwave Point Cache and pick the MDD file we’ve exported in a previous step. With our object correctly selected, we need to import the animation data.
All I know here is de-select, then re-select. I never understood why that is… something about “all parented objects are also selected, and the last one that was selected was the top object”. We need to de-select then re-select our object so that it has a light orange outline. It’ll have a dark orange outline which is apparently evil. When the object comes in, it’ll be pre-selected… but somehow in a way that’s not quite “selected enough”. Make sure to NOT split by object (groups is fine), otherwise you’ll end up with a lot of lose pieces.īlender is a little weird, in more than one respect. In Blender, let’s start by importing our OBJ via Import – Wavefront OBJ. Materials are a different process I will cover in another article. That’s all we need in Marvelous Designer for the moment. The scale settings should match the animation export, so once again DAZ Scale at 1%. Hence we need to park our playhead on frame 0 and export that OBJ too, using Export – OBJ. This format save vertex changes over time, but it relies on an initial 3D object for reference. You can choose to export the entire animation, or set a range in the Animations Tab and shorten it to the pertinent parts. Note the scale in the settings: DAZ Scale at 1% so that it’ll look handsome in Blender. Once the garment is animated, head over to Export – MDD Cache (Standard). export the animation as MDD using the same settings as the OBJĪnd now for a more elaborate explanation with screenshots and further explanations: Marvelous Designer.This is how we make it happen in principle.
