We will start by spending 30 minutes to customize our workflow in Zbrush so we can work much faster and efficiently. Then we will make the female head where i will explain what you should watch for in a female head modelling. Then we will make a placeholder hair, which will be good enough for more cartoon base render. Then we will make the teeth, and eyes from scratch. After that we will make the female body, again from the sphere, following our concept. After we are done with our female body, we will start making a 3D sketch of our model, to get the correct placement of all our accessories and clothes, this is a pretty important stage in the end of which we will have a very good idea how our model will look when it's finished.

Very good course. It's very complete with different clothes mainly for making characters. But it can be useful for learning the basics of the software for architctural visualization as well. The only downside is that the author didn't edit the video and so many times he commited mistakes and then he stepped back with Ctrl. + Z. And you have to do it too. So be patient, but in overall is a great course.

Well done course. I'm not completely new to Marvelous Designer, so not sure how easy it would be for a complete beginner, but I found it easy to follow along and do all the projects. Learned a lot on the way!

Your course covers some really intriguing software, but I do have one major issue: the pace of your speech. I've watched other tutorials of yours, like the Hair Creation one, and the main problem I encounter is that your explanations are too rapid. English isn't my native language—I'm from Germany—yet I've watched plenty of English 3D videos on Udemy without much trouble. However, with your instructional style, I always find myself struggling. While I can adjust the playback speed, it sounds unnatural when slowed down. My suggestion is for you to work on delivering explanations in a calm and relaxed manner. I'm fine with mistakes or if you struggling with problems in your examples along the way; they show that nobody's perfect. It's just that your speech speed is too fast for me to keep up.

Muito bom. Esse curso me deu conhecimento e confiança. Curso e professor ótimos. Me fez sair do básico. Me deu confiança para criar meus projetos com clareza por mostrar o workflow completo. O fato de entregar todos os arquivos do projeto e mostrar onde encontrar texturas para um acabamento perfeito, fez com que meus projetos possam ter a qualidade que eu esperava alcançar. Muito satisfeito com o aprendizado. Obrigado Abraham.

Excellent course. Now I am confident to make any dresses for 3d models. But there are lots of easy way to do these exercises. After learning 2 chapters, I am doing myself and it is very easy. Like we can directly import the shirt from the panel and we can modify from that itself is very easy way instead of drawing polygon and arranging. But anyway, final output is our result. So happy and recommending others to join this course. It is really great training.

Section 6 was really light on content. Went through things at a very high level leaving lots of questions. And In Section 5 towards the end. There was a lot of stuff left unresolved. It was like Abraham was just racing to finish the course and didn't take the time to finalize issues with the build.
By Florian LOUFFAR on 11/2/2022
Hi Abraham, Thank you for this course. I was pleasently surprised about the exercises in the different sections. It was very cool, and I think you covered all different topics. So I just have to dress my own characters.

Like most others have said, the course is pretty good and will make you feel comfortable using Marvelous Designer. The -1 star is just because of times where he makes mistakes and have to go back and redo the steps. Mistakes are really fine and I think it's important to show them, but a lot of them are simple mistakes and it ends up being a little bit waste of time. The most invaluable thing for me is Chapter 6, where he also shows you some of the implementations of your clothing models. He shows you what you can do with it after you're done in Marvelous Designer. Also some of the websites where you can get resources were places I wasn't aware of yet. So I've learnt a lot it filled gaps in my knowledge.

Its not my first course i bought on udemy but its actually the first course that is reeeaally good! Im learning so much and the explanation is in my opinion very good! Im enjoying every knowledge i learn in this course and cant wait to create my own clothes!
By Molham2 on 5/20/2022
Pretty good course, but why 4.5 stars ? By taking this course you will feel comfortable working with Marvelous Designer BUT. The only take down that he's making some mistakes along the road, you might say this is good for learning but he fixes it "just to work" and that wouldn't be very good for learning. What to expect from the course ? Feeling comfortable with Marvelous Designer and using it's tools to make most of cloth designs you will see but you might have problems with wrapped and tangent cloth such as scarfs. Bottom Line : Thank you Abrahman and looking forward to see more of you're courses!
