Modeling a bed with 3ds Max and Marvelous Designer

OK so here we go again this week with another tutorial covering Marvelous Designer following last week’s pillow tutorials. I had a few people messaging me and asking me to make a few more tutorials about Marvelous Designer, more notably how to make a bed with wrinkled cloth simulations? Well i took some time and made these two videos that initially were supposed to be one video, but i kinda like to keep them in the range of 20-30 min so it ended up as two.

In the first part of the video you will see how i modeled the base for the cloth simulations in 3ds Max, then how to export it out so we can reuse that same model as an avatar in Marvelous Designer. In this video you can see how to model the side skirts of the bed, how to make it so it’s wrinkled opposed to being flat and boring and also how to add the lower part of the wrinkles that is even more detailed. If you are interested in that check out the first part of the videos.

In the second part of the video we will continue where we left off in the first one and starting modeling the rest of the bed. We are gonna take a look at how to model a nice looking sheet covering the mattress, then continue and show you how to swap avatars, then over to modeling the pillow and placing it into position and at the end go down to modeling the blanket. After all of the elements are modeled we are going to take them and export them out and re import them back in 3ds Max and deal with the scaling issue. So instead of me explaining on what’s in the video have a look for yourself.

Now while i was making the video i didn’t notice it right away, but once it was made i did see that my blanket did come out a tad bit too short, so if you are modeling your version by following this tutorial feel free and make it longer.

So i think this should cover the basics on how to make a simple bed with 3ds max and Marvelous Designer, but don’t be fooled by the simplicity of our model here, if you use the same techniques that i used to make this model you can create multiple high detailed, interesting looking models as well.

If you guys have any questions about anything that was shown in the video feel free to ask in the comments below, or if there is anything that you would like to see a video of how to make it do write it down in the comments and i just might make a video about it if my time allows for it.

Having said all that i hope you guys learned something in the the process of watching this and you also enjoyed it. If that is the case then subscribe to the YouTube channel, share it around, like and help spread the word around.
