The first time I used Marvelous was for the cloth bit for my Jacket, and to be honest I was quite intimidated by it at the start. After I did some more research, I started understanding more of how it works and what I am supposed to do in it. The process is relatively simple. You need a pattern that you can make yourself or get one from real life, make the bits in the 2d viewport with the tools there, place them in 3D and then sew the clothing and simulate it.
When I did the drapery for the Jacket, it was a relatively quite simple process. I just quickly made a shape in the 2d viewport, similar to what I envisioned, placed it in 3d, and then pinned it to the model, since there was no structure to hold it in place yet.
After that, I exported the simulated result and imported it into Zbrush.
Before I started working on the actual clothing for the Captain, I decided to make a shirt, in order to get more familiar with the software, and also learn it more properly. Since a shirt is a bit more complicated than some drapery, I needed a pattern to start working from. After some searching, I was able to find quite a good one.
To help me out with the process I have watched this tutorial: https://youtu.be/h7mK4x8-jd8
that went through the UI of Marvelous and the basics of using the program.
The sewing of the clothing was relatively simple and intuitive, but the sleeves were quite hard to figure out since they had to be sewn onto 2 different bits of fabric, which had to be done in a specific order for it to work properly.
