@Zodira Ok bed time now. Found some historical commentary on the #marvelousdesigner license changing over time. It "seems" like the restriction was lifted. https://www.renderosity.com/forums/comments/4374158/permalink

@Zodira Thank you! I'm gonna go get some sleep (1:35am local) and do some research in the morning too! Let me know if you find out anything else as well.
@Zodira I do know that a lot of #vrchat content creators use #MarvelousDesigner to create clothing for sale as assets, and also as part of avatars that are built. This of course does not mean that the terms allow it, simply that people are doing it. I've also seen other resold assets (kitbash3d.com) that use Marvelous Designer for creating cloth on the assets they are selling. You have me curious now :)

@Zodira It's all still Unity based. The easiest time being when clothes are made for a specific base so that you can just align on the bones. Even then there is quite often additional work to deal with penetrations, etc.

The most advanced avatar I've seen so far, has a nice interface in Unity for choose what you want with your avatar when you export it. It's pretty impressive: https://camsaviis.gumroad.com/l/CamsRemi

@Zodira They have a free 30 day trial. You can also get 3 months at 50% off after that. They have a 30% sale on the yearly subscription through the 31st (I believe) for $196 for the year.

I'm interesting in doing clothing for #vrchat avatar's, so that's how I'll justify the spend to myself. :) Either way it's another useful skill to learn!

@Zodira I'm going to get a license to Marvelous Designer this year. Woosh goes the moneyz.
