Getting started with 3D Fashion
Technology is becoming an integral part of every industry and the fashion industry is no exception. One such advancement is happening in the 3D-Fashion space. Every major brand, export house, and manufacturer is adopting 3D technology for better design communication, lead time, and sustainability. I started this course for my 4 friends to help them understand 3D technology to 1800+ fashion students and professionals from 10+ countries (check student feedback).

Step 1. Understanding 3D Fashion Space (3min)
——
Before you start let’s first understand what is 3D Fashion and how to think about all the different topics and software like CLO3D/marvelous designer, Blender, DazStudio, MakeHuman, Texture development, Animation, Avatar development, Mixamo, and digital Pattern-making.
Step 2. How 3D is changing the fashion industry? (3min)
——
Let’s understand how the fashion industry is changing for individual designers, fashion brands, and the future. The major changes happening in the fashion industry are in the area of 3D-Fashion, sustainability, development of better materials/fabric, and VR/AR. Let’s look into how these things are making the fashion industry more efficient and better for the future.
Step 3. Understanding 3D-Fashion Plans
——
Now let’s understand how different plans:
1. Self-Learning – Start your journey in the 3D Fashion world. Get 60 hours+ of tutorials from zero to advance and a discussion channel to ask for any doubts or confusion. It’s like Udemy with a chat attached, where you can ask questions anytime.
2. Group Learning – Learn 3D with a batch of 10-13 students. A 52 days course designed for fashion designers, stylists, textile designers, professionals, and illustrators. Get personalized and detailed learning from zero to advance. Many people who join this course are working so I keep classes at night and optimized another thing so that everyone can learn. (Live Classes)
3. One-On-One – Speed up your learning with one-to-one classes. Get highly personalized classes for becoming a pro in 3D fashion. Work according to your schedule and needs. Get personal support for all your doubts and projects. (Live Classes)
Step 4. Getting started with 3D-Fashion!

Time to get your software done and don’t worry all the software are free except CLO3D. CLO-3D gives you one month free trial in one user id so when one month gets over install with a new user id 😉 Rest all are free.
I have made this course keeping in mind all the free and open-source software and resources so that everyone can be a part of this. All you need is a mac or windows laptop/pc with minimum intel i5 processor and a lot of love for fashion 🙂
We use more than 5 software in the full course but right now you just need two:
Get CLO3D: https://clo3d.com. (watch video)
Get Blender: https://blender.org
Step 5. Creating your first dress (18min)
——
Let’s start with learning something fun. Time to get started with learning the basics of creating a pillow in CLO-3D. It is simple and will help you to understand some basic tools of CLO3D.

I hope this was an informative journey for you. Learning anything new can be difficult alone. I have gone through the same (wasted 100s of hours in google searches, and hoping someone can help).
Learning from teaching 1800+ students, I have made the course structure and community that will help you to go from zero to advance. I wish to see you in the full course. Take care and keep learning.
