CLO 3D Intro
This two day course will provide you with the skills to produce production-ready patterns and create stunning 3D renders of your designs. Our Clo3D introduction course begins with 2D pattern creation, you’ll learn how to draft flat patterns from scratch using lines and curves.
You’ll then progress to simulating your garment on the avatar in 3D, adding sewing lines, trims and fastenings, making adjustments, and working with fabric properties. The final part of the course will cover customising your avatar and creating 3D renders of your designs.
