Wow! High praise :) Thank you! Check out my most popular ones and see what you think if you like this one!

I'm so glad!

Hi there, yep. This video is in an outdated version of CLO. They’ve made quite a few updates to the avatar editor and I plan to make an updated version of this soon!

They've recently updated the avatar editor and it is supposedly much better. I need to play around with it and potentially make and updated version of this. But yes, the bust is one area CLO has always struggled with. That and rises/heights of things. Browzwear probably does the best job for fit currently, but I hate the interface.

Do you not use illustrator? The PDF export from CLO really needs a bit of cleaning up in illustrator if possible. You can probably print them the same way in Acrobat, but I'm not sure you'll be able to easily move things around and organize them optimally.

1) I believe all these same tools exist in MD and it should be fine. 2) You can absolutely make suspenders like you'd make a belt, it's just a bit different process, but same idea. I'll add it to my list of tutorials if you like. 3) I am not an animation expert, but I believe you'll have to add the buckles as a trim, not an avatar, in order for it to move with the garment. It's a bit more finicky and I know it can give you some issues, but people do it, so try watching some videos on animation. Sorry I just don't really touch animation! It's not in my wheelhouse.

Good question. I just did a test with pattern symbols and the notch tool and can't do it with either. Let me ask CLO and I'll get back to you!

So I got a tip from the CLO community. There is no actual tool for this, BUT the internal ellipse tool- specifically the baseline one- defaults to a 5mm circle which seems to be the perfect size for a punch hole marking. You can just add one of these on the pattern and then drag it by hand to the place you want it. (which can be outside the pattern on the seam allowance) It's not perfect, but should do the trick! Let me know how you go.

I've just downloaded the latest version to understand the issue and it seems there are only 3 female avatars now. I will check with CLO, but likely they have only made these 3 avatars compatible with all the new functions. The folder layout is also different, they don't each have their own folders anymore, but within some of the folders you will find subfolders with their names on it. Like for texture, you will find each different avatar's texture. Hope this helps!

Hi there. I use CLO 3D for pattern making and 3D design. I sell my patterns on my website as PDFs and working CLO files. I basically secure them by copyright and asking people not to share or resell them. It's honestly just an honor system that I hope my users respect my work enough not to redistribute my patterns or make money off my work without their own contribution. So far nobody has exploited me or my work as far as I know 😊

It’s super easy! Just go to clo3d.com and in the top right corner click “free trial.” If you have trouble I believe it’s explained in the playlist Beginner’s Guide To CLO on CLO’s TH-cam channel.

It’s best to change the pose without any clothes on. Just use your blank avatar, can be any size, and pose how you like. Then go to file>save as>pose. It’ll save a .pos file. Put that in a folder you’ve added to your library. Then open your file with your garment on the avatar and double click the pose file and your avatar’s pose will change.

This is for a high waisted trouser block, but you could turn it into a jean, it won’t be a jean just following the steps in this video.

If it's pulling with the hand tool it sounds like maybe you're trying to use select mesh with simulation turned on? You need to turn simulation off when using select mesh. I recommend selecting in the 2D window to get exactly what you want and then click once on the green that you see in 3D and use the gizmo to move it. Let me know if this helps. It's really difficult to know exactly what you mean when I can't see what's happening on your screen in real time, but I'll do my best to help!

You can speed it up yourself if you want

This method should work the same if the pattern edge is a straight line. But if the band is already folded, do you need a hem? Or is the band your finishing?

Did you adjust particle distance and collision thickness? You need to be sure the ribbon is no larger than 5mm particle distance and the "add'l thickness collision" is at least 4. Make sure you don't pull too hard. Let me know if this helps.

I’ll try to make some short videos on things like that. They are crystal pleated using the pleats tool and the edge has elastic on it set to a ratio over 100, probably 120-140%

Hi there, they'll hopefully be available for download soon on my website, but in the meantime you can email me at hello@ides.studio and I will be happy to send them to you. Otherwise, they come with any of the garments available on my website.

You’re welcome😊 Thank you for such a lovely comment!

Like you want to sew it closed at the top or sewing the sides together? If you want to discuss your specific file I'm happy for you to email me at hello@ides.studio and give me more details and I will try to help! :)

Amazing! I’m so glad you had success with it.

I’m sorry you’re having trouble. It is definitely tricky! If you’d like more help you can email me hello@ides.studio This is 3D, not real life. You can not do everything exactly like real life, but this is one way to tie a bow IRL and would not have any impact on how the garment fits, so as long as it looks realistic, there is no issue.

Ok well CLO issues I can troubleshoot, but when you say I overcomplicate it that's a different thing. What do you mean by "it puts points at different distances"? I'm happy to help if you give me more info. Feel free to email hello@ides.studio to go more in depth.

Good question. I imagine you might be able to access similar print settings through Adobe Acrobat, which i believe is free. It could be a bit of trial and error to get it right. What program do you normally open a PDF in?

Hi there. I do my absolute best to make pattern making as uncomplicated as possible. It is very difficult. I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy the video. I use inches because I am American and I am most familiar with inches. I try to provide the conversion as much as possible. I am not located in London, sorry.

The stiffest material I can usually find is under the CLO library as "Trim/Hardware" and then you can also bond the pattern pieces with the stiffest interfacing. It's not perfect, but it does work. If you ever need to straighten pieces out you can strengthen the pattern pieces in 3D and use your hand tool or pins to get them lying properly. I don't suggest keeping anything strengthened while working, but I do freeze things a lot when I make bags. Another tip is to turn gravity off in 3D so the bag isn't always collapsing onto the floor.
