<h2 style="text-align: center">Jaegil Lim shares his character creating workflow, from garment making in Marvelous Designer and final lighting and rendering.</h2><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/4270453fe91e4daea857e08ede594e21/images/408dcf4a5a6948e6a7692b0d93f94bc161d7a56ed2bc43eda401517c53ff89ea.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="408dcf4a5a6948e6a7692b0d93f94bc1" data-width="1601" data-height="738"><h1 style="text-align: center">Interview with Jaegil Lim | Swan | Freelancer Character Artist</h1><hr><h1>The Process of Collecting References For Swan</h1>﻿This artwork is inspired by Jun, Swan which comes from the 3rd hero character from the animation called “GATCHAMAN”I chose to envision Swan wearing a casual outfit rather than reproducing the original hero costume from the animation.The overall concept style is an image of a Korean woman in her early-mid 20s. The style is also inspired by the current trends of Jean Jacket, juicy makeup and bob hair.<h1>A Workflow For Swan</h1>1) Face Modelling in ZbrushFirstly, the model’s face was made in ZBrush. The aim of the model was to reflect a woman during her early-mid 20s.I used a multi-channel face purchased from Texturing XYZ to work on the finer details of her face.2) Garment Making in Marvelous DesignerThe next step was to model the body.I used Marvelous Designer to create a well fitting garment for Swans’ body shape.I purchased a base denim jacket &amp; Skirt set on Marvelous Designer Store and imported the patterns into Marvelous Designer to edit.Some patterns were merged for convenience for further editing.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/4270453fe91e4daea857e08ede594e21/images/e0182a0616c74cd4bb81ce435a435bd9%EC%8A%A4%ED%81%AC%EB%A6%B0%EC%83%B7%202024-01-21%20175458.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="e0182a0616c74cd4bb81ce435a435bd9" data-width="1132" data-height="600">For the next step, I edited the pose in 3Ds Max and converted it to an Alembic file then imported it to Marvelous Designer to apply the changed pose.The picture below indicates that the costume was simulated in the pose shown.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/4270453fe91e4daea857e08ede594e21/images/043eb0819c3f4e9e9442203f222915e28bf71628e31f42f5936b655f14b30289.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="043eb0819c3f4e9e9442203f222915e2" data-width="602" data-height="317">After remeshing the patterns, each of Pose Mesh and Pattern Mesh were converted to OBJ files then imported into 3Ds Max.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/4270453fe91e4daea857e08ede594e21/images/67dee29ffa19488492955c1fa9b948f4%EC%8A%A4%ED%81%AC%EB%A6%B0%EC%83%B7%202024-01-21%20175603.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="67dee29ffa19488492955c1fa9b948f4" data-width="1317" data-height="692">Substance Painter was used for the texturing process to express finer texture and fading of the denim jacket.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/4270453fe91e4daea857e08ede594e21/images/8d0aea0e7f5e4ab5946fd8e28679a233%EC%8A%A4%ED%81%AC%EB%A6%B0%EC%83%B7%202024-01-21%20175749.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="8d0aea0e7f5e4ab5946fd8e28679a233" data-width="1129" data-height="595">3) Hair ModellingOrnatrix was used in Hair modelling.Based on the Guide Mesh I made in Zbrush, I made Cardmesh in Ornatrix. I used the same method for her eyebrows as well.4) Final Lighting and RenderingPastel pink was chosen for the background to express a joyful and lively Swan.Marmoset Toolbag was used for final lighting and rendering.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/4270453fe91e4daea857e08ede594e21/images/8925e77ffbdf44c3b65a7a1e8ab32224%EC%8A%A4%ED%81%AC%EB%A6%B0%EC%83%B7%202024-01-21%20175922.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="8925e77ffbdf44c3b65a7a1e8ab32224" data-width="1110" data-height="600"><h1>Experiences in Marvelous Designer and Marvelous Designer Store</h1>I absolutely enjoy using Marvelous Designer Store to save time on pattern making.It takes less time when I modify the purchased patterns to fit into the character than making patterns from scratch.The cloth simulation in Marvelous Designer also enables me to have intuitive and efficient workflow.Any changes made in the 2D window are directly reflected in the 3D window.Another advantage of Marvelous Designer is the compatibility with a variety of 3D software such as Maya, ZBrush, and 3Ds Max.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/4270453fe91e4daea857e08ede594e21/images/5231bff209634cceb2427fb0efca5a9d%EC%8A%A4%ED%81%AC%EB%A6%B0%EC%83%B7%202024-01-21%20180039.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="5231bff209634cceb2427fb0efca5a9d" data-width="1125" data-height="592">Link to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVoQTOFddiTlz4pI_MuW0hw">Youtube&nbsp;</a>Link to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://softbeast.artstation.com/">Artstation</a>

Dear Creators,Please note I have tried to make a dress 👗, but I'm struggling to fix this point, because no shoulder joints and front and back is up and down, could anyone assist me how to fix this... I'm thinking to use attach to avatar measure tool. Is any other options to make perfect for this type of dresses. Thank you for your valuable time and suggestions.Thanks <img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202602/4839c39deb684d5b97ca5f271e5e2ab0/images/07af91e908e94c9f976c3f912ed799a1Screenshot%202026-02-14%20131532.png" alt="07af91e908e94c9f976c3f912ed799a1" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="07af91e908e94c9f976c3f912ed799a1" data-width="1125" data-height="740">
