3D Fashion Course Structure
Our 3D Fashion course structure is all you need to go from zero to advanced with 9 modules. Learn 3D fashion software like CLO3D / Style 3D, Blender, DazStudio, MakeHuman, advanced texture development with Adobe Sampler, Animation, Avatar development, Mixamo, digital Pattern-making, and recently added handbag design and AI tools. ( I designed this course with a focus on free and open-source software and resources, making it accessible to everyone. For instance, if purchasing CLO 3D isn’t an option, you can use Style 3D, a free alternative. The same goes for other software—we’ve got you covered with cost-free options.)
