Does anybody use Marvelous Designer? How do you import obj to dae?

[Katara Spyker]

I bought MD3, made a dress, and have looked all over to find ways to import it. I also have Blender and Maya installed.

For those who haven't heard of Marvelous Designer:

♥ I can export in .obj but SL imports in .dae so how to I convert it?

I tried importing it into blender 2.71 and have tried to look up tutorials but I can't find any easy-to-follow/new-user friendly steps! Any guidance would be super helpful THANK YOU!

Buy Avastar plug in for blender, watch rigging tutorial videos.

You have to weight the vertices on the object and export as a dae.  Without vertex weights, it won't bend and i'm sure you want it to bend.

Avastar "just works" but you will need to be proficient in Blender too.

Hi Katara,
Before you rig your mesh clothing from Marvelous Designer it is best to retopologize it into quads.

I made two video on how I do that for my clothes I make with Marvelous Designer using Maya 8.0

Here's a link to my channel on YouTube: Cathy Foil Videos

I have a few other videos relating to Maya and other things.

Hope that helps.
