Welcome to the exciting world of 3D garment creation and visualization for theatrical productions! This course is designed specifically for theatrical drapers/tailors, providing you with the skills and knowledge to leverage the power of CLO Patterning Software.
Throughout this class, you'll embark on a comprehensive journey into the realm of CLO3D. We'll begin by establishing a strong foundation in the software's interface and core functionalities. You'll gain hands-on experience with essential tools for creating digital garments, manipulating fabrics, and simulating realistic draping effects.
Furthermore, we'll delve into the fascinating world of 3D scanning technology. We'll explore how to integrate scanned data of actors directly into CLO3D, enabling you to create garments that perfectly conform to the unique body shapes of your performers. This revolutionary approach streamlines the theatrical draping process, allowing for a higher degree of precision and customization in your creations.
