Is it possible to simulate chain mail in costume design
The best way is to create texture, normal, displacement, etc., mapping and apply that to a cloth pattern. You would first have to model the individual chains (best as a repeatable section) in program, and apply it in MD.
About 1/2way down this page is a discussion of that process: https://marvelousdesigner.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/900001353306-help-trying-to-make-a-tight-karate-belt-knot-?page=1#community_comment_900000591586
I have created a similar mesh inside MD, for knitting, that you can examine here: https://sharecg.com/v/90835/gallery/5/3D-Model/Marvelous-Designer-Knitting Something like that would be needed as the starting point for the above process.
Thank you Rosemary, that's very helpful. I'll try your suggestion.
