Soft Body Practice (+Leather Gloves)

Hi guys,

Being on my own has it's pros and cons. For some strange reason, I'm busier than ever, making it hard to carve out time for personal projects and training. However, I finally had some extra time and energy to dive into Marvelous Designer, which I've wanted to do for quite some time now. It's a great software, and will help me work on geometry that's near-impossible and time-consuming using CAD/NURBS.

This first simple proper test took a few hours to model, and I feel pretty happy about how it turned out. Still a few kinks here and there, but I hope some more time with MD will help me reduce time spent and generating cleaner topology.

Thanks for having a look.

This is really clean! Can't tell if this is CGI or not! When you try something new you do it at it's finest Magnus! That's why I can confidently say your one of the greatest CGI artists ever bro!
Cheers!

Looking great!! It would be interesting to see how everything was done in marvelous designer. Did you made a block and wrap it in cloth? Were stitches modelled or displaced?

Thank you! I'm attaching a screenshot from MD below. I didn't make a block this round, just used a parameter called "Pressure" to puff it up. Not sure if it's the best or "correct" way, but that's what's fun with experimenting I suppose:) Stitches was modeled. Pretty straight forward in MD with stitching.

Thank you Chad! Nice to hear from you.

I'm continuing down the Marvelous Designer hole with some freshly baked leather gloves. Started in Marvelous Designer with a scanned hand on this one, and built the base mesh in MD. I then took the exported mesh through some basic subdivisions and sculpting in Blender before rendering it in KeyShot.

(plenty of details in the high res of these ones)
