The list of supported versions of Unreal Engine can be found here. 

You can install your plugin version manually as follows:

1. Open the 3D Draper installation folder and find the UE subfolder that contains the plugins for different UE versions. I.e. "Program Files (x86)\3D Draper\ue".
   
   
   
   
2. Copy the corresponding version Draper folder into your Engine\Plugins folder, or your project's Plugins folder.
    
   Note, the plugin for UE 5.1 is in the 501 folder, UE 5.0 - in 500.

You can activate your license from the Unreal Engine plugin:

1. Launch the Unreal Editor and enable the uDraper plugin. Restart the project if required.
2. Add the Draper Simulation component to your character and find the License section in the details. There you will find the controls to activate or deactivate your license.
3. Alternatively, you can activate your license using either
   1. When starting 3D Draper application or
   2. Windows Command Prompt or PowerShell as following:
      1. Change directory to \Draper\Alloy\peers\ folder, (the exact path depends on where you unpacked it)
      2. Run lead-client activate {Your_Redistribution_License_ID}
      3. To verify your license status, run lead-client.exe verify {Your_License_ID}

Yes, you can migrate your License ID to another computer. However, you cannot activate your License ID on another machine in less than six-hour period.

Check the following steps:

• Make sure that you put correct license ID without spaces and other symbols.
• Make sure you have active internet connection and our host is available.
• Make sure your Firewall doesn't block uDraper modules from accessing the internet.
• If you're using a VPN, turn it off.

You can also run a diagnostic by clicking on the Diagnostic button in the License section as shown in the picture below. Diagnostic information will be displayed. Forward this information to us using the Contact page.

You need to make sure your Draper collider and/or Draper Simulation component is parented to the Body of your MetaHuman character, not Blueprint.

Also make sure that your collider mesh is configured correctly.

The cloth simulation takes some time to initialize. So, if your animation sequence starts with fast movements, the simulation may not catch up. If that’s the case, consider slowing down the first few seconds of your animation. E.g., start from a static pose, or add some slow movements at the beginning.

We try to explain it in this tutorial.

Animations can start from any pose but if you do it in real time, you need to allow a couple of seconds for the simulation to initialize. So, depending on whether you're using animation in sequencer or an animation asset, you better have some gradual transition. When you render a movie, this shouldn't be a problem. See e.g.: https://youtu.be/p9fwNPuuHDA?t=338

The garment falls on the floor probably because it is not positioned on the avatar. Try following these steps:

1. Position the garment on your avatar in A-pose. Turn the wrapping on.

2. Before running an animation in real time, allow a few seconds to make sure the simulation has started. Otherwise, your avatar can move too far while simulation hasn't been initialized.

3. Start your animation.

This shouldn't be an issue when you render a video because the rendering will wait for the simulation to initialize.

Yes. Packaging SDK is available for purchasing.

Please note:

• Packaging is intended for more advanced users, and is not a replacement for the developer versions of the uDraper plugin.
  
• Redistribution license does not allow uDraper functionality in Unreal Editor. uDraper development license should be purchased separately.
• Redistribution license is machine-locked. 
• Contact us for customized licensing options.

Please look into this tutorial for more information - Optimizing OBJ files for wrapping.

uDraper should work for any skeletal mesh with limitations outlined here: Quick start guide

It is a false positive. uDraper files do not contain any malware.

Some files, however, are encrypted to prevent reverse engineering. Your Windows Security or Antivirus programs cannot read encrypted files, and may flag or block them from running.

Encrypted files are digitally signed to insure they won't trigger false positives. Please check your version Designer.exe file Properties - Digital Signatures to make sure your copy is legit. 

If you experience this issue, please let us know, and for the time being, exclude the following files from your Anti-Virus scan/live protection list:

• Program Files (x86)\3D Draper\Designer.exe
• {Your_UE_Verions}\Engine\Plugins\Draper\Alloy\peers\physics-remote-service.exe
• {Your_UE_Version}\Engine\Plugins\Draper\Alloy\peers\garment-cooker.exe
• {Your_UE_Veersion}\Engine\Plugins\Draper\Alloy\peers\lead-client.exe

Refer to this page on how to Add an exclusion to Windows Security: 

Select a Draper Garment component and click the Edit button in the Action section.
Note: Draper Editor only works in Levels and doesn't work in Blueprints. 

Since 220717 update, Geometry Cache is used for the Draper Garment component by default. This requires Used with Geometry Cache option to be selected in your UE material if you are using Override Material option. 
 

Please refer to Using clothes from Marvelous Designer or CLO tutorial and watch related videos.

Please pay special attention to the steps you need to take when exporting your garment in OBJ format.

In Topstitch Properties, select Texture instead of OBJ. Then you should be able to bake.

The only way to use Daz clothes as-is, is with Wrapping: Clothes in Unreal Engine sans skinning - Part 2 - Reallusion Character Creator & DAZ.

However, Daz clothes exported as OBJ have issues. It is preferable to export it as FBX and then convert to OBJ in Maya.

Make sure you export one single garment at a time and there is no separate pieces like belts or scarfs that are not sewn to your garment.

You could use MeshLab (free), Maya or other tools to test whether your mesh contains not sewn/unwelded parts. Welded mesh will not be separated into pieces.

For example, in MeshLab, use "Select Connected Components in a Region". If your mesh contains unwelded (not sewn) parts, you will be able to selected them separately as in the image below. If your mesh is welded/sewn correctly, you will only be able to select the whole mesh.

In Maya, use Mesh - Separate command to see which parts are not welded. If the mesh is welded correctly, Maya won't be able to separate your mesh.

For more information please watch video from this tutorial: Exporting garments from Marvelous Designer in OBJ format.

Alternatively, you can use a garment without simulation just with wrapping: Using clothes in OBJ format without simulation.

Make sure your Scale is set to centimeters (100%) when exporting from MD/Clo.  See Exporting garments from Marvelous Designer in OBJ format

You can also try to use "Recalculate edges' length" option

• Make sure you have Scale in centimeters when exporting OBJ files.
• Try to use "Recalculate edges' length" option

If you're getting "Skeletal mesh asset is invalid" message when you open a level or starting the simulation, make sure you don't have any characters without skeletal mesh (Skeletal mesh set to None) that contains Draper components as in the picture below. You either need to delete such characters or delete their child Draper components.

This error happens when some vertices of your OBJ mesh have too many connections. Try to simplify your garment to avoid many patterns (pieces) connected in one single line or a single point.

Make sure your Groom hair simulation is enabled in the Groom Asset Physics settings and in your Level - Groom - Simulation Settings - Solver Settings section
