course info
This intermediate course goes beyond CLO 3D fundamentals and provides the tools for Production in CLO 3D. Learners will be able to use the different tools for garment manufacturing including print layouts, colorways and bill of materials. In order to create designs with greater accuracy, learners will explore the next level of pattern making through exact measurement tools as well as manipulation of darts and lines. Finally, how to show off garments in 3D with movement will be taught through new techniques related to creating realistic fabrics and final exports. With this course, users can take CLO to the next level of Production concluding with a CLO runway animation.

She has been in clothing construction and manual pattern making for 30 years. Roz spoke at the Electronic Visualization and Arts conference 2019 about the importance of 3D archiving for costume using 3D apparel software. A virtual museum is one of her dream. Roz can be called as a ‘Monocolist’ as she worked with 3D scanning software developed by Steampunk Digital.
She has always seen the future of clothing and computers starting with when she first starts illustrating clothing over 30 years ago. According to her, the future is even more fascinating now with the use of Mixed Reality to show off clothing before it is made. To both the manufacturer and its team and the customer.
