Quick workflow fit
Move simulated garments from Marvelous Designer to Blender with fewer export steps
Use one copy/paste workflow for garments, UV layouts, baked cloth results, basic materials and supported hierarchy instead of rebuilding FBX settings every time.
Best for: Character artists who simulate clothing in Marvelous Designer and finish shading, lighting or rendering in Blender.
What transfers / what you get: Garment meshes, UV layouts, baked animation or cached simulation results, basic material data and supported grouping.
Before you buy: Marvelous Designer and Blender are both required. Cloth is transferred as baked or sampled result data; the live Marvelous Designer simulation solver and garment construction settings do not become native Blender simulation settings.

Overview
A clipboard for Marvelous Designer and Blender
SyncTools Pro turns the Marvelous Designer / Blender round-trip into a Copy/Paste action: select garments in MD, hit Ctrl + Shift + C, switch to Blender, hit Ctrl + Shift + V. Cloth simulation results, UV layouts, and basic materials come along.
Built for character artists who simulate clothing in MD and finish/render in Blender, plus mograph artists doing fabric flyovers.

Features
What you get
| Bidirectional Sync |
MD to Blender and Blender to MD from the same shortcut. |
| Garment Preservation |
Each MD garment comes across as a separate Blender object with names and groups intact. |
| UV Layout Preservation |
MD's auto-generated UV layout carries over for shading. |
| Animation Transfer |
Baked cloth simulation animations export as keyframes Blender can read. |
| Selective Transfer |
Toggle which elements come along: garments, UVs, materials. |

Default Ctrl + Shift + C / V - fully remappable per-app. |
| Cross-Platform |
Works on Windows and macOS. |
