Hooooly Moooly!! Nice! 
Kernel? Frames per second? Rendertime?
A bit of SSS on the skin maybe?

Yes Druzic,
the workflow was kind of tricky especially because I used an old Maya (7) version.
I oversculpted the base avatar that came with the fbx (provided by marvelousdesigner.com).
Then I exported the avatar from Maya to Marvelus Designer via MDD. After the cloth simulation I tried to get the cloth back to Maya via MDD but I had problems. Maya Cache would have worked but not with this old Maya version. So I asked tchoa if he could compile the point cache 2 plugin by Jan Wolter for Maya 7. So I could use pc2 datat to get the baked cloth sim working in Maya but I had to tweak the animation curve a lot.
It took me a while to get this running but know I understand the workflow. If you work with a current Maya version the .mc file format causes less difficulties.
Cheers

Looks really kool though !!
Thanks for the flow Refracty! You did a brilliant job finding a workaround...
Ever since seeing the catwalk demo that MD rendered in Octane I have been toying with avatar switching but only the native one seems reliable for me.
So... would you say that .fbx is essential for the smoothest performance?
