My name is Simin Farrokh Ahmadi, also known as Simba. I recently graduated in CG Asset Creation for Games at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.tttc.ca/">Think Tank Training Centre</a>, specializing in Props &amp; Environments.My journey as an artist began in my teenage years when I decided to study at an art conservatory instead of a conventional high school. This path led me to earn a national certificate in fine arts, a bachelor's degree in interior design, and a master’s degree in animation. With a background in architectural visualization, I felt something was missing in my life – the joy of creating visually stunning projects in real-time environments. So I took a leap of faith and left my job to learn new skills.In January 2023, a life-changing event occurred when I was awarded the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/wbd-access-canada/">Warner Bros. Discovery Access Canada </a>Doers and Dreamers Digital Art Scholarship to study at Think Tank Training Centre. This was a significant step toward realizing my dreams. “<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.artstation.com/artwork/rJWJ05">Persian Afternoon</a>”, “<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.artstation.com/artwork/8bEzXQ">A Day in Heaven</a>”, “<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.artstation.com/artwork/dKnvmW">Silent Elegance</a>”, and “<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.artstation.com/artwork/PXAqX4">Rhymes &amp; Remedies</a>” are among the projects I created during the program.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/7cd50175928c4c7f9bc6c7862a22a671/images/f91c60827e0548919e395739b97c6b30_0001.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="f91c60827e0548919e395739b97c6b30" data-width="1387" data-height="780"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/7cd50175928c4c7f9bc6c7862a22a671/images/7df91dd360da422eada53265a2a0d638_0002.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="7df91dd360da422eada53265a2a0d638" data-width="2773" data-height="1560"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/7cd50175928c4c7f9bc6c7862a22a671/images/5dbc252550da4e1aab7a6767375dcf22_0003.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="5dbc252550da4e1aab7a6767375dcf22" data-width="2247" data-height="1264"><h1>Tell us about the project -Rhymes &amp; Remedies.</h1>“Rhymes &amp; Remedies” is my most personal project to date. Created as my mentorship project at Think Tank under the guidance of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.artstation.com/nikhilkedige">Nikhil Kedige</a>, it was inspired by an illustration by <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.marlowelune.com/">Marlowe Lune</a>. The artwork evoked memories of my childhood library, a haven filled with books where I spent endless hours immersed in reading. My goal was to capture the cozy and safe feeling of that space while incorporating my dad’s poetry. This became the core goal of the project. Gradually, the project transformed into an homage to my parents, who have always encouraged and inspired my artistic journey. Although they have dedicated their careers to healthcare and saving lives, both my mom and dad are artists at heart. This project is a tribute to them and their spark of imagination that breathes life into my passion for art.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/7cd50175928c4c7f9bc6c7862a22a671/images/f9adf29f2f424d2cb0a5c63bca5b0e48_0004.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="f9adf29f2f424d2cb0a5c63bca5b0e48" data-width="2773" data-height="1560"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/7cd50175928c4c7f9bc6c7862a22a671/images/a6d75d4ff439419c81cf171b53b8300e_0005.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="a6d75d4ff439419c81cf171b53b8300e" data-width="2773" data-height="1560"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/7cd50175928c4c7f9bc6c7862a22a671/images/e95538fd3f7e4091ab3a48df2c27e304_0006.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="e95538fd3f7e4091ab3a48df2c27e304" data-width="2773" data-height="1560"><h1>In what ways did you use Marvelous Designer in your project?</h1>I used Marvelous Designer to create the main armchair, the tablecloth, and statue dress. I also used male and female avatars as base meshes for my statutes and busts.<h1>What benefits did Marvelous Designer bring to your project?</h1>Creating realistic fabric folds and wrinkles is challenging in sculpting software, but Marvelous Designer significantly simplifies this process.<h1>Can you give us a quick overview of the different tools used in your pipeline?</h1>Artists usually use Marvelous Designer to create clothing and drapery, but it has many handy tools for creating sofas and armchairs. I found a reference for a classic woodworked leather sofa that matched the style I had in mind and decided to recreate it.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/7cd50175928c4c7f9bc6c7862a22a671/images/3528d04339f341948dbd7f982b14dfa1_0007.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="3528d04339f341948dbd7f982b14dfa1" data-width="1619" data-height="656">To create the armchair's fabric, I first made a low-poly structure in Maya and imported it into Marvelous Designer. I used the Flatten tool and selected the fabric mesh to get the pattern in the 2D window. While you can select all pieces and hit Enter, I personally find it more convenient to transform the fabric pieces one by one. This method allows for easier handling of potential errors.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/7cd50175928c4c7f9bc6c7862a22a671/images/0e748f57864542598f3746fd94ad254a_0008.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="0e748f57864542598f3746fd94ad254a" data-width="2936" data-height="809">I then rearranged the 2D patterns to make them easier to work with. At this point I hid the wooden structure to work more conveniently.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/7cd50175928c4c7f9bc6c7862a22a671/images/f40be2fcd9e0449083726a3f86710c74_0009.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="f40be2fcd9e0449083726a3f86710c74" data-width="2435" data-height="862">Using the Pin (Box) tool, I hovered over the edges of the fabric pieces. When a vertex turned blue, I double-clicked on it to pin the entire edge. After double-clicking, the pinned edge is marked with an orange line.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/7cd50175928c4c7f9bc6c7862a22a671/images/1a7d23ad4ee94f4094ca7af49ce29694_0010.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="1a7d23ad4ee94f4094ca7af49ce29694" data-width="3252" data-height="873">Next, using the Internal Polygon/ Line Tool, I started creating the internal sewn lines according to my reference. Then, I selected the internal lines with the Edit Pattern tool and Cut the lines.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/7cd50175928c4c7f9bc6c7862a22a671/images/e8ffa61daddf4c8e89e34a346ebeded0_0011.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="e8ffa61daddf4c8e89e34a346ebeded0" data-width="1043" data-height="704">This is how the patterns looked after all cuts and pins were in place. I tried to add a bit of randomness to the middle button pins so the wrinkles appear more natural.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/7cd50175928c4c7f9bc6c7862a22a671/images/866b18ba570944ae86aff34ca1ca3ec1_0012.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="866b18ba570944ae86aff34ca1ca3ec1" data-width="1166" data-height="788">I used the Leather Fabric preset and adjusted a few parameters for Stretch and Weight. I then set Particle Distance to 5 mm and the Pressure to 10 to achieve the desired result.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/7cd50175928c4c7f9bc6c7862a22a671/images/b00336eedf8548509cf744c2b4ad3e2c_0013.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="b00336eedf8548509cf744c2b4ad3e2c" data-width="2000" data-height="931"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/7cd50175928c4c7f9bc6c7862a22a671/images/558cf610049646bf97ef3b09106ef26d_0014.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="558cf610049646bf97ef3b09106ef26d" data-width="1110" data-height="624">To create the tablecloth, I imported my table mesh as an avatar. I then drew a Rectangle in the 2D window, moved it above the table, and simulated it. I experimented a lot with the placement of folds while in simulation mode to achieve the desired effect.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/7cd50175928c4c7f9bc6c7862a22a671/images/393f009f66f54d94a2d90ffffa4493c9_0015.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="393f009f66f54d94a2d90ffffa4493c9" data-width="1590" data-height="922"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/7cd50175928c4c7f9bc6c7862a22a671/images/556a5684e9984cc3b1dc43bb9d336aa0_0016.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="556a5684e9984cc3b1dc43bb9d336aa0" data-width="1110" data-height="624">For the female statue dress, I drew a Polygon, duplicated it, and then sewed the sides and strap together.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/7cd50175928c4c7f9bc6c7862a22a671/images/f71dc6d37d544c489a1ec2fa2bb32fd3_0017.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="f71dc6d37d544c489a1ec2fa2bb32fd3" data-width="1590" data-height="922"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/7cd50175928c4c7f9bc6c7862a22a671/images/1a6c6a33ac1844cab6ed8403866c697d_0018.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="1a6c6a33ac1844cab6ed8403866c697d" data-width="1583" data-height="922"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/7cd50175928c4c7f9bc6c7862a22a671/images/6a290c366d8d4c7c912c4754e307ca82_0019.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="6a290c366d8d4c7c912c4754e307ca82" data-width="1910" data-height="1075">I also used Marvelous Designer to create the suitcase lid compartment and fabric pieces around the room in my other project, “A Day in Heaven”.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/7cd50175928c4c7f9bc6c7862a22a671/images/859b29ee9eee4d369dcbd80cd2efe9f9_0020.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="859b29ee9eee4d369dcbd80cd2efe9f9" data-width="737" data-height="663"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/7cd50175928c4c7f9bc6c7862a22a671/images/b31f59c10ef4495ebafb79986da036a6_0021.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="b31f59c10ef4495ebafb79986da036a6" data-width="1181" data-height="720"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/7cd50175928c4c7f9bc6c7862a22a671/images/9879b7a24a9a44d1a415a68f5a1a2c05_0022.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="9879b7a24a9a44d1a415a68f5a1a2c05" data-width="1842" data-height="1036"><h1>What tips do you have for other artists using Marvelous Designer for 3D Environment?</h1>Try experimenting with different presets and don’t be afraid to think outside the box. You might be surprised at how much you can achieve with Marvelous Designer, rather than spending hours sculpting from scratch.<h1>How can you describe your overall experience of the use of the Marvelous Designer?</h1>It has been very rewarding actually! Marvelous Designer is a powerful tool with a very user-friendly UI. Once you get accustomed to how it works, you’ll likely want to use it as much as possible. I’m excited to explore and benefit from its various tools in my upcoming projects.<h1>by&nbsp;Simin Farrokh Ahmadi <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.artstation.com/simbafa">ArtStation</a></h1>

What is your background and what are some of the projects you've worked on?</h1>I’m Yoontek-Oh, a senior character artist at Pearl Abyss. I have been currently involved in the project called ‘Pearl Abyss’ which was founded in September 2010 and has recently developed and published the MMORPG game called “Black Desert’. Black Desert is an upcoming sandbox-oriented massively multiplayer online role-playing game by Korean video game developer Pearl Abyss. Black Desert takes place in a high fantasy setting and revolves around the conflict between two rival nations, the Republic of Calpheon and the Kingdom of Valencia.<h1>How long have you been working in the industry?</h1>I have been involved in CG for 11years so far. I was actually majored in industrial design at Kukmin University and after graduation I had the chance to experience a lot of different types of projects and studios. Character modeling is one of the best I have had the pleasure. I've had fun with character modeling.<h1>In your project, what were the elements where Marvelous Designer was used?</h1>Marvelous Designer was used in creation of objects for Monster and Background in PC and NPC. When we first started our project ‘Black Desert’, I have started using Marvelous Designer to design capes, skirts and hoodies for this project. I became a big fan of Marvelous Designer as it allowed us to generate 3D clothes quickly from scratch. I have found myself using Marvelous Designer a lot more for concept work over the last couple of years, mainly because of its newer features such as Symmetric Editing.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/9ca9d99cd84c442c91abe74d2591e6b1/images/f9b070f2cd0e4357bca9faec39fb2449md_cases_BlackDesert_001.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="f9b070f2cd0e4357bca9faec39fb2449" data-width="1180" data-height="610"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/9ca9d99cd84c442c91abe74d2591e6b1/images/85ea7da157d345dea5f4d4b4098938e4md_cases_BlackDesert_002.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="85ea7da157d345dea5f4d4b4098938e4" data-width="1180" data-height="610"><h1>Why did you use Marvelous Designer for these creatures?</h1>With Marvelous Designer, we managed to create character’s clothes quickly and they looked totally realistic.

Marvelous Designer allowed us to work faster and bring us better quality of 3D clothes, yet also put more and more details and love into our characters with a lot of flexibility.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/9ca9d99cd84c442c91abe74d2591e6b1/images/993b519a5dad42acaab907b24619c6c3md_cases_BlackDesert_006.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="993b519a5dad42acaab907b24619c6c3" data-width="1180" data-height="610"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/9ca9d99cd84c442c91abe74d2591e6b1/images/05ac3bfbc56a4b319c66fb5dcb8e5ad1md_cases_BlackDesert_007.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="05ac3bfbc56a4b319c66fb5dcb8e5ad1" data-width="1180" data-height="610"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/9ca9d99cd84c442c91abe74d2591e6b1/images/3d11f21ed1ca4f23aa44ce09582dbe0fmd_cases_BlackDesert_005.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="3d11f21ed1ca4f23aa44ce09582dbe0f" data-width="1180" data-height="610"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/9ca9d99cd84c442c91abe74d2591e6b1/images/2fc7629f8dea4ab19b198378d66552c0md_cases_BlackDesert_004.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="2fc7629f8dea4ab19b198378d66552c0" data-width="1180" data-height="610"><h1>Could you describe challenges in which Marvelous Designer was of use to you and go into detail regarding how Marvelous Designer helped overcome them?</h1>It wasn’t easy to fit 3D clothes to avatars at first but it didn’t take long to get used to play Marvelous Designer. With Marvelous Designer it is really easy to play with shapes and try different designs. The best thing about making 3D clothes in Marvelous Designer is starting modeling from scratch and simulate the 3D clothes in real time for a lot of major variations. We saved significant amounts of time creating 3D clothing with a pattern based approach of Marvelous Designer.
