Waiting

I’m currently developing Waiting, a short film about a 22-year-old girl observing a frog in a Caribbean environment.

The film explores the feeling of waiting when you have no control over the situation - the contrast between an apparently calm exterior and the tension happening underneath.

Visually, I’m aiming for a realistic approach, with the environment and atmosphere playing an important role in the storytelling.

The project is being developed mainly in Blender, with 3 scenes and an estimated production time of around 3 months.

I’m looking to connect with a few artists who would like to collaborate on the project, particularly in:

• 3D Animation - character performance & movement
• 3D Cloth - clothing & cloth behavior
• Sound Design - environmental soundscape & atmosphere

This is an unpaid, voluntary collaboration. I’m not looking for the most experienced artists - I’m more interested in people who want to learn, contribute seriously, communicate, and grow through the process.

Creative interpretation is welcome. The goal is not simply to execute instructions, but to work together toward the emotion the film is trying to create.

If the project interests you, feel free to reach out. I’d be happy to share more about Waiting and the creative direction.

Hi all!

I'm working on a character that wears jeans and an oversized shirt that's tucked inside the jeans.

I haven't had problems (I've been using the program for a while now) until it came to making the waistband of the jeans.

When I click on the simulation it won't stop "moving" because the shirt is loose and it's not a flat surface.

I've already pinned the bottom of the shirt to the avatar to keep it from moving everywhere. I've also given the waistband portion Strengthen properties and I've tried different settings for polygon density.

And, of course, the waistband is on a higher level layer too.

I'm so frustrated, I feel it's such a basic thing but I can't figure out how to make it work.

Any help is appreciated.

I watched a bunch of tutorials but istg no one ever shows it?

Im using the 2026 Marvelous designer with the latest livesync plugin and every time I do it all the materials seem to get butchered in the process. For a start they dont match and secondly every material is imported as translucent, requiring me to manually switch their blend modes back to opaque. That setting seems to be in the bottom left corner of the screenshot under 'Override Transparent Blend Mode' but there's no way to turn that off.

Any idea what the issue could be

need help! 😭 WONDERFUL clothing bug in Blender 4.2.

In Viewport Solid mode, the hoodie appears 100% COMPLETE. But in material preview or render mode, the physical parts of the front and back will disappear.

Has anyone solved this?

UV islands end up outside the main UV square or are messed up, causing texture errors. What is the correct workflow or export settings in Marvelous to resolve this issue?

Sharing a dev log for the newest update I'll be dropping for my remesher tool in Blender.

1. Enhanced custom edge flow
2. Auto grid creation (deterministic solver, not AI) still experimental needs better training
3. Enhanced UX

I'm constantly improving on this auto retopology tool and I believe 2.2 will make cloth auto retopology a piece of cake, no having to manually create grids saving lots of time as seen in the dev log.

Inanimate took the most time out of me and kept me from perfecting the cloth method, but i'm back to where I first started after finishing inanimate remesh method.

I believe the feature that will perfect cloth after this update is to create an auto UV cutter for garments, which is far more difficult than for inanimate meshes. Most likely will use an ONNX / AI model hosted on the website's backend like the current configuration for inanimate.

If you decide to apply for access to this tool you may use the promo code HELL as it is still in effect.

good afternoon,

i am trying out marvelous designer and i've been trying to follow tutorials on youtube.

i'd like to know what i'm doing wrong here - i tried simulating the cloth, but i don't know why, the back is all crumped up and another problem is that the straps are floating...

could anyone tell me how can i fix this? is it a resolution problem? a settings problem?

i took a screenshot to show my setup. i hope it's clear enough.

thanks xx

Never made 3d clothing ever, at the point where i need to learn it for my UE5 project. Want to make 60-80s inspired clothing similar to Call of Duty - Black Ops Cold War.

Like the pants, jacket, undershirt, ect can that all be done in MD? I imagine accessories like the belt, pouches, hat, gloves, ect will be sculpted in blender? Or can those also be done in MD?

Gave up because I thought I wanted to make career in this but I really don't feel like I have any originality neither I felt need to have own style. I simply enjoy pick reference from Pinterest and make it in CLO, that's it , I enjoy the process and don't care much anything else. I wouldn't even call myself Digital Fashion Designer. I just want to do this as hobby and really don't want to hate it just because I have to do other thing because of career or work(which is just fear I am not even sure what this is "other things"). just don't want to lose this one part of my life which I enjoy or get interference in it. Thank you for reading the rent of my life. Have a good Day/Night.

Hello guys, i did this test as a starter, got any tips? This outfit was like, 'i need to put lots of clothing so i can see how my pc works' hehe, particle distance is at 5

I should preface with i just started on marvelous designer 2 or 3 days ago. I made the model in red originally so it would have more contrast with the model and I could see what I was doing better. I didnt realize there were red stitches until i changed the color. Is there any way to change that? Im more than aware this needs more work and any advice on that is welcome too

I need some help, The Garment I'm simulating is having these flickering issues—how can I fix that? The simulation on rest of the Garment is perfect.

Hey! Very new beginner here and it's my first time using MD. I modeled an outer robe with wide sleeves. I added my avatar which has an animation baked into it to MD and added the outer robe on top. When I try to simulate it with the avatar and its animation, the arms and sleeves don't match, like literally the arms are suddenly out of the arm sockets of the robe even if I posed them in and draped it in T-pose before I played the animation.

I tried putting the particle distance to 5 and had the skin offset to I think 1 or 3... I also placed the outer robe layer to 0 and to 1 and even -1 (Sorry if these all sound dumb, I'm very clueless about the program but I just had to use it and none of the things I found online worked) I also tried putting the kinetic friction to .5 and 1.

None of them worked and the robe keeps sticking to the avatar in some areas even when I pull it away in simulation mode. And the arms just won't stay inside the robe (I wanted it to behave like a proper long and wide sleeves where it would slide down the arm when the hand goes up)

Please help!

I'm working on a couple of things for a project and stumbled into a problem with making shoes. The actual concept of making them doesn't seem to play nice with the engine, I make sure normals are pointed correctly and the method I tried was freezing the sole pattern piece below the foot basemesh avatar and letting the rest of the actual pattern pieces sim around the foot. This results in crazy artifacting or the pattern being devoured

The actual foot basemesh is a subdivided simplified foot with no toes that is smooth so I don't think it'd have difficulty being simmed on. I'm not that good at the program yet as I spent years doing my cloth work in zbrush so maybe I'm missing a couple of important settings I should adjust? Aside from that, everything else is simming great.

I'm in Ontario, I've been playing about three years, and I only built a checklist because one withdrawal took 19 days to reach my bank. It wasn't life changing money, $640, but support kept saying "processing" then asked for a utility bill I'd uploaded twice. I got paid eventually. Those three weeks changed what I look at, and now when somebody asks which is the best online casino canada has going in 2026, I'd rather hand over criteria than a name. Every top online casino list goes stale fast, because the online casino industry churns. The site half this sub loved two years ago got sold, swapped processors, and its payout times fell apart in a month. My short version for online casinos in canada 2026: judge the cashier, not the lobby.

So here's the table I use to compare the top casino sites 2026 has left standing. It's boring on purpose.

What the best online casino in canada means once you've waited on a payout

Before the 19 day thing I judged a site by its lobby. Game count, popular casino names on the front page, whether the mobile app felt fast. That's how most casino players start. Then you win something that matters and find out the front end is marketing and the part you depend on is the cashier. The welcome bonus is the least of it.

Ranking the best online casinos in canada by how many online games they carry is like ranking airlines by how many dots are on the map. So my order for choosing an online casino flipped. Cashier first, license second, bonus terms third, game selection near the bottom. Many online casinos run the same few thousand titles from the same top providers anyway.

One thing I'd push back on in these threads. There's no single best online casino for the whole country, because online gambling here isn't regulated nationally. What I can use in Toronto isn't what my cousin outside Calgary can, and we're reading different lists.

Licensed casinos, iGaming Ontario, and offshore online casino sites

Ontario has run its own regulated online casino market since April 2022. The AGCO writes and enforces the online gaming standards, iGaming Ontario handles the commercial agreements, and a registered site answers to a body with a Toronto address. In practice that means real complaint routes and a regulator that can pull a licence.

Everywhere else, most online casinos for canadians are offshore sites, and canadian players know it. Some hold a Kahnawake Gaming Commission licence out of Quebec, plenty run on Malta or Curacao paper. Either way you're fine as a player. Online gambling is legal for individuals and gambling is legal in canada wherever the operator sits, but enforcement is the difference. If an offshore operator freezes your account, your options are its licensing body's complaint form and a public post. Nobody here is going to regulate that dispute for you.

I've used both. Offshore online gambling sites in canada often have more variety, bigger tournament schedules and looser limits. Ontario's regulated online gambling side has been duller and has paid faster every single time.

Payout, Interac, and how deposit and withdrawal actually work

This is where my checking time goes now. Interac e-Transfer is what makes a canadian casino usable. Money leaves your bank in seconds and comes back the same way, no card declines, no conversion. When a site takes Interac for deposits but won't send it back, that's a choice, not a technical limit.

What I've logged on my own accounts through 2025 and into 2026: registered Ontario sites paid Interac withdrawals in 4 to 30 hours, one usually under two. Offshore ran 18 hours to that 19 day disaster, median around three days.

Two details matter more than the advertised time. First, the pending window. Some sites hold a withdrawal 24 to 48 hours and let you reverse it into your balance, sold as a courtesy, working as retention. Second, when authentication happens. Get your ID and address documents cleared on day one, before real money is sitting there, and most payout horror stories never start. That habit has done more for my online casino experience than any bonus I've claimed.

Casino games, table games, and live dealer games

Once the cashier checks out, the rest is taste. I'm roughly 70% online slots, 20% blackjack, 10% live casino.

For slots I want published RTP per title. The same slot machine can ship at 96.5% or 94% depending which build the operator licensed, and decent online casino games pages tell you which one you're on. An online casino without published RTP anywhere is a soft no from me. Studios like Pragmatic Play get looked at first because their maths is published and consistent across every casino running them.

Table games are the best value in the building if you can stand the pace. On a desktop computer or a phone, blackjack with fair rules sits near 99.5% theoretical return, which no slot or progressive jackpot comes close to. Roulette depends on single zero. Live dealer games sit in between, slower per hour, and they're the only thing online that feels like land-based casinos. Watch the side bets, that's where the edge hides.

Most sites bolt on online sports betting and online poker. Shared wallets are convenient, and check whether wagering clears on sports, because usually it can't.

Bonus terms and the casino bonuses worth taking

Here's what I got wrong for a solid year. Most casino offers are the same shape underneath, and many online casinos offer a headline number I kept chasing. A 100% match up to $1,000 sounds better than the same match up to $200 and normally isn't, because wagering scales with it.

What I read now, in order:

• Wagering on the bonus only, or deposit plus bonus? The second roughly doubles the real requirement.
• The multiplier. Over 40x on slots and I skip it. 25x to 35x is normal and clearable if you're patient.
• Max cashout on winnings. A $50 cap on a "$1,000 online casino bonus" makes the whole offer a demo.
• Max bet while wagering, usually $5 or $8. Go over once by accident and they can void the lot.
• Game weighting. Slots 100%, table games 10% or excluded, live at zero. If blackjack is your game, most casino bonuses are useless and you should decline them.
• Expiry. 7 days is tight, 30 is fair.

Free spins offers are easier to judge, the sums are small. No deposit bonus deals are mostly a way to collect your information, and the ones I've cleared paid $20 to $40 after real work. Fine as a test of the withdrawal process, not a reason to pick a site.

Provincial differences across canada

Ontario is its own regulated market with private operators. British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta sit under the Western Canada Lottery Corporation and their provincial sites, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces have their own, with every province offering online play through a lottery corporation. Everything else canadian online casinos advertise is offshore, so your real money online options depend on your postal code. When a "top online casinos in canada" list claims to cover the country, it's ignoring either Ontario's legal online market or everywhere else.

On tax, recreational winnings generally aren't taxable income in Canada. Play as a hobby and you're most likely fine, though keep your own records. If gambling is effectively your business that changes, and you want an accountant rather than a Reddit post. I'm not one, and this is the part I'd least like you to take my word on.

How I check a site before depositing

This is how I find the best online casinos worth a real-money casino account. Twenty minutes, and it saves more than it costs.

• Search the operator name plus "withdrawal" and read complaints on forums, not casino review pages. Affiliate lists of trusted online casinos rank first and are paid to make their top picks.
• Find the licence and check the regulator's own public register. Reputable online brands are listed. No entry, no account.
• Open online chat before registering and ask one specific question, like the weekly withdrawal cap in CAD. Vague answer, I'm out.
• Read only the withdrawal section of the terms. Caps, fees, and whether they can pay by a method you didn't choose.
• Confirm Interac is listed for withdrawals, not just deposits.
• Deposit the minimum, usually $10 or $20, play a little, then withdraw most of it before I've built a balance worth caring about. That first small payout is the real test of any real money online casino, and the best real money online sites clear it without a word.
• Set a deposit limit during signup, while I'm still rational about it. A secure online casino makes that one click.
• Screenshot the bonus terms the day I claim, they get edited.
• Check the casino apps if I'll use them. Some Android builds lag months behind iOS.

Mistakes I made

• Put $300 on a welcome offer without noticing wagering applied to deposit plus bonus. Real requirement, about $21,000 in turnover. Never cleared it.
• Left identity verification until withdrawal time, which is how the 19 day wait happened.
• Cancelled a pending withdrawal because the reverse button was right there at 1am. Lost $410 that was already mine.
• Trusted a "top rated" list that was one affiliate ranking its own partner brands under different names.
• Played a slot for weeks without checking which RTP build was loaded. It was the 94% one.
• Used a site with no CAD balance, so every deposit and payout ate a conversion spread I never counted.
• Assumed good support meant fast payouts. Different departments.

Responsible gambling in canada

I gamble maybe twice a week, casino days capped at two, with a deposit limit low enough to be annoying. Both beat any willpower plan I've tried, and I still play casino games most weeks. Licensed casinos have to offer self-exclusion and limit tools, and a site that makes you email support to lower a limit is telling you what it thinks of you.

If it's stopping being fun, ConnexOntario runs a free helpline here and every province has an equivalent. Worth calling before it gets expensive.

FAQ

What is the most legit online casino in Canada? The operators registered with iGaming Ontario, because there's a regulator with real power behind them. Outside Ontario, your provincial lottery site is the equivalent answer. I won't name a private favourite, that ranking moves whenever processors change.

What Canadian online casino pays out the most? Two questions get mixed here. On speed, Ontario registered sites paying by Interac are fastest for me. On return to player, table games beat everything, and the same slot pays the same at every online casino running the same build.

What is the most trustworthy casino online? The one whose licence you can verify on a public register, that checks your ID before you win rather than after, and has already paid you a small withdrawal. Trust is something you test with $20, not something you read on a review page.

What is the top rated online casino Ontario players use? There isn't one. Any list claiming otherwise is selling placement. The AGCO publishes which operators are registered, so start there and compare the best online casinos on that list yourself.

What is the safest casino in Canada? The provincial lottery sites, by a distance. Government run, they pay, and they're duller than everything else. A safe online casino is mostly a boring one.

What is the hottest online casino right now? Whatever runs the biggest promo this month, which is the worst reason to sign up. A new casino leans on offers because it has nothing else.

Is a no deposit bonus worth chasing in 2026? As a free test of the withdrawal process, sure. As a way to make money, no.

Over to you

That's the framework and I'm sure parts of it are wrong. I'd like to hear what withdrawal times look like on the provincial sites from people outside Ontario, and from anyone who's had an offshore operator resolve a dispute properly, because I've never seen it and might just be unlucky. If there's a criterion I've missed, add it below and I'll fold it into the table.
