I'm really interested in trying other softwares before I really commit to one. CLO is a more robust solution geared towards the fashion and apparel industries with functions that can be applied to various stages of the garment design development process.
#Clo 3d vs marvelous designer software
I'm absolutely going to check out WindaCad, because I'm primarily wanting to use software for grading and patterning, and am not very concerned with the 3D rendering, although it's COOL as H E C K! I downloaded the 30 day trial of CLO3D and it is pretty intuitive on the patterning side, my friend who has experience with Optitex said the tools and patterning program behave very similarly which is really cool. Answer Although the core technology behind the solutions are the same, Marvelous Designer is primarily used in the CG, animation, and gaming industries. Wow I'm so sorry I just saw your comment, but thank you so much for taking your time to answer my question so throughly! Just watch youtube videos first to learn the basics before you start your trial so you can make the most of it.
#Clo 3d vs marvelous designer free
CLO is an amazing software and you can try it out for one month completely free of charge to see if you like it. I will cheer you on and feel free to let me know if you have more questions. I draft & grade patterns for fashion designers and indie pattern brands.
As far as the grading goes, CLO is currently limited in its grading features, but I might be spoiled with my other software that is focused on grading. Now you haven't mentioned a desire for doing 3D garment renders, which is the main thing I use CLO for! You can digitize your paper patterns in CLO in the same manner I described.
I actually have a wide-format scanner but I'm too lazy to use it - the photo method seems faster for me.
For digitizing paper patterns I take photographs of the pattern pieces on a grid board and then "trace" them in CAD. I use CLO3D regularly in my workflow, but not for digitizing and grading. I'm really interested in learning computer software based patterning, with a near goal of starting a home sewist pattern company based around teaching custom fitting techniques which I really see the home sewing community lacking in.ĭoes anyone have insight or critiques of CLO3D before I jump into it? I haven't been able to find anyone giving rounded reviews of the software, and I'm a little concerned that it's too good to be true based off of how inexpensive and advanced it looks compared to leading softwares like Gerber and Optitex.Įdit: clarifying that I want to use CLO3D to digitize my existing patterns and to grade them, so that I can format them into PDFs (then write up instructions etc) as opposed to using it as a platform where I would be selling the patterns. I have recently graduated with a Fashion Design BFA where my school went through a multi year transition from Gerber to Optitex, and based on how my classes lined up I was unable to learn either softwares in school.
