CLO3D Design Workshop

CLO3D Design Workshop (Online via Zoom)

This workshop is brought to you by the Textile Hub, an innovative educational business dedicated to empowering individuals and businesses through a curated selection of short courses.

Content
In this introductory CLO3D workshop you will learn the basics of how to navigate around this 3D Fashion Design programme using the relevant virtual sewing and pattern making construction tools to develop a garment. This one day course will cover the basic workflow of designing on an avatar (mannequin) in a 3D workspace, developing a simple pattern using both the 2D and 3D windows, and adjusting the garment in real-time. Virtually sewing up and conducting a fit assessment of the garment, you will learn how to manipulate and amend your digital pattern for a better fit and style, just like you would with a physical first sample.

We will then look at fabrics and trims offered in the CLO3D library, basic print development and colourway options for your garment. The last step we will cover is the final rendering and image output for presentations of garments with and without avatars in CLO3D.

Each participant will get a digital certificate on completion of the course.
