My name is Dollfication, and I’m currently a fashion design student specializing primarily in doll and toy design.I decided to join this contest because of my deep fascination with Japanese fashion and trends. Japan has such a unique and bold fashion culture that constantly pushes boundaries, and I’m inspired by how it blends art, design, and storytelling. Participating in this contest gives me a chance to immerse myself more in these influences and apply them to my own creative process.In addition to traditional design, I also work with 3D programs like Marvelous Designer and Blender to create digital models of my designs. These tools allow me to bring my concepts to life in a virtual space, which is an exciting way to explore different garment structures and textures before physically creating them. Perfect for me as a doll/toy designer.<hr><h1>We’d like to hear more about the art direction in your Creator’s contest 2025 Vol.2. What was the visual style you were aiming for?</h1>For my submission to the Creator’s Contest 2025 Vol. 2, I drew inspiration from anime aesthetics, sci-fi, and a touch of gyaru fashion, with a focus on a doll-like aesthetic. My main goal was to create a futuristic, metallic look using sharp lines and dynamic silhouettes, while keeping everything centered around one color: pink.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202509/7d219e29b31941549b062b6a6a85949a/images/7d5ba1e2d1034d26a403065a1daa920ahhh6.png" alt="7d5ba1e2d1034d26a403065a1daa920a" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="7d5ba1e2d1034d26a403065a1daa920a" data-width="1240" data-height="1754">Pink was chosen for its versatility—it’s playful yet bold, which worked perfectly with the sci-fi, anime, and doll-like influences. The minimal use of gyaru fashion added an element of confidence and attitude. Overall, I aimed for a striking balance between strength, simplicity, elegance, and fantasy, with pink unifying the design.<hr><h1>Would you be able to give us a quick overview of the different tools you use in your pipeline with a focus on Marvelous Designer? Have you encountered any challenges and how have you overcome them?</h1>In my workflow, I primarily used Marvelous Designer to create the outfit for my design. The process was smooth and straightforward, as I had a clear vision from the start. I didn’t encounter any major difficulties, and the program’s intuitive tools allowed me to focus on execution rather than troubleshooting.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202509/7d219e29b31941549b062b6a6a85949a/images/e8a56ef68b4e437f98eac029fccfd075bandicam%202025-08-12%2016-25-43-982.jpg" alt="e8a56ef68b4e437f98eac029fccfd075" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="e8a56ef68b4e437f98eac029fccfd075" data-width="1912" data-height="982">The first step was importing the basic measurements for my avatar, which gave me a realistic base for designing the garments. I began by sketching out the patterns for each piece of the outfit in Marvelous Designer, paying close attention to the futuristic, metallic look I wanted to achieve. The program’s pattern drafting tools allowed me to create precise shapes and experiment with different cuts and details, which was crucial for achieving the clean, structured look I had in mind.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202509/7d219e29b31941549b062b6a6a85949a/images/54a7d22f70894b168b51251ea7e55b9bbandicam%202025-08-12%2016-32-03-947.jpg" alt="54a7d22f70894b168b51251ea7e55b9b" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="54a7d22f70894b168b51251ea7e55b9b" data-width="1566" data-height="974">Once the basic patterns were laid out, I used the simulation feature to see how the fabrics would move and react in real time. This feature helped me fine-tune the fit and flow of the garments, ensuring that everything appeared natural on the avatar. I also made use of the fabric library to select materials that matched the metallic and holographic look I was aiming for, adjusting the properties such as weight and stiffness to get the right texture. Once the outfit was complete, I adjusted the colors and added subtle finishing touches to match my overall aesthetic.<hr><h1>Are there any tips and tricks with Marvelous Designer that you can share with the community?</h1><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202509/7d219e29b31941549b062b6a6a85949a/images/b665e993e77c42f7ab286e8e91b5198abandicam%202025-08-12%2016-31-37-104.jpg" alt="b665e993e77c42f7ab286e8e91b5198a" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="b665e993e77c42f7ab286e8e91b5198a" data-width="1566" data-height="974">One tip I’d share is to use the simulation feature early and often. It helps you see how fabrics behave on the avatar in real-time, which makes it easier to adjust fit and flow without any guesswork. Layering fabrics is another great trick. By combining materials with different properties, you can create depth and texture, especially for metallic or holographic effects. Make use of Avatar Collisions to ensure your garment fits properly, especially in tight or complex designs. It prevents weird bulges or misalignments. Also, if you’re working with multiple pieces, use the "Arrange All" tool to organize your patterns before sewing them together. It saves time and keeps things neat. Lastly, always use the Sewing Simulation to check for any issues with seam placement or overlaps before finalizing the design. These tips can help streamline your process and make the most of Marvelous Designer’s features.

Hi Clo Team,I am not happy with the latest update at all.After encountering several serious issues, you advised me to reinstall the software. Following your instructions, I spent two hours backing up seven months' worth of work, uninstalling, and reinstalling the program. Unfortunately, I am now experiencing additional significant problems that make it extremely difficult to work:1) Missing fabric weight information I can no longer see the fabric weight — neither in your library nor in my personal library, which I backed up and re-imported. Fabric weight is crucial for my workflow. (See attached screenshot.)2) Unsupported trim formats in the library Your trim and hardware library contains Pullers in ZPU format and Sliders in ZSL format, both of which are no longer supported by this version. (See attached screenshot.) As for the TRM format, which is supported, I cannot find it in your library unless I am missing something. In order to access trims in the correct format, I am forced to open old projects, save, and import individual trims manually. May I ask: what is the point of offering a library containing assets in unsupported formats?3) Library appearance issues The new library shows CLO default assets along with my imported assets. However, when I revert to the previous library layout (which I prefer), the library is completely empty — no CLO default assets, no imported assets. (See attached screenshots.)4) Missing hairstylesThe variety of hairstyles from the previous version is missing. Available only Afro, Afro, Bob, Lowbun, Highbun. Where are the usual ones? - see attached screenshot.Please advise how these issues can be resolved. They are causing considerable inconvenience, and at this point, it is difficult to see how the subscription cost is justified.Thank you, Anna<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202504/ca4dd79cc2834967acbbb146f362901e/images/ace5932490304d999ec09075a43d75beScreenshot%20for%20Clo-set.png" alt="ace5932490304d999ec09075a43d75be" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="ace5932490304d999ec09075a43d75be" data-width="3840" data-height="2160"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202504/ca4dd79cc2834967acbbb146f362901e/images/6a20140884b44361b6f2ec3eb9d27bbcScreenshot%20for%20Clo-set%20%283%29.png" alt="6a20140884b44361b6f2ec3eb9d27bbc" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="6a20140884b44361b6f2ec3eb9d27bbc" data-width="3840" data-height="2160"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202504/ca4dd79cc2834967acbbb146f362901e/images/bcfb5c0ad03d4ce3a4612f8e7b304a8eScreenshot%20for%20Clo-set%20%284%29.png" alt="bcfb5c0ad03d4ce3a4612f8e7b304a8e" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="bcfb5c0ad03d4ce3a4612f8e7b304a8e" data-width="3840" data-height="2160"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202504/ca4dd79cc2834967acbbb146f362901e/images/9498b0c965a045f18fadf50c2f9a0bd9Screenshot%20for%20Clo-set%20%286%29.png" alt="9498b0c965a045f18fadf50c2f9a0bd9" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="9498b0c965a045f18fadf50c2f9a0bd9" data-width="3840" data-height="2160"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202504/ca4dd79cc2834967acbbb146f362901e/images/37773590818345bcb4c66abbd08a4badScreenshot%20for%20Clo-set.png" alt="37773590818345bcb4c66abbd08a4bad" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="37773590818345bcb4c66abbd08a4bad" data-width="3840" data-height="2160">

<h2 style="text-align: center">Geumbi, a Korean character modeler, honored her grandmother through the heartfelt project My Grandma. She also shares tips on crafting stunning scarves with Marvelous Designer.</h2><hr><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/98c1935f44b34bd6ad77794b29410ab5/images/58c6470b58484b3da8df005678a2765e78edb5aaf247498daf80aa50b10d9147.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="58c6470b58484b3da8df005678a2765e" data-width="4096" data-height="4096"><h1>We'd like to get to know you better, can you tell us a little about yourself and how you got started in 3D?</h1>Hello. I'm Geumbi Seo, a junior character modeler from South Korea.I started studying 3D because I found it fascinating to create things that I love and keep for a long time.<h1>Can you tell us more about your latest project, "My Grandma"?</h1>I became interested in creating realistic characters while taking classes at an academy, and naturally, I thought of my family first, especially my beloved grandma and grandpa. It always broke my heart to see their time go by faster than ours, and as I got older, it always made me sad to imagine a future without them.So I started a project called “My Grandma” to use the 3D skills I've learned to preserve them in their healthiest and most beautiful state.As I worked on it, I wanted the others to feel her love through my project. I hope it will inspire each of us to pick up the phone and call or reminisce about our grandmothers.<h1>We love the knot on your scarf using Marvelous Designer. Do you have any advice or tips for people who find it difficult to create ribbons or knots in Marvelous Designer?</h1>I realized while working on this project that it's not easy to make ribbons or knots.But I didn't want to change the shape of the scarf just because of its difficulty, so I just kept trying multiple times, and eventually, I got the shape I wanted.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/98c1935f44b34bd6ad77794b29410ab5/images/20ceb081d71f4b2f907b907453417298181b037970f34064a3ff68c9ec74b270.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="20ceb081d71f4b2f907b907453417298" data-width="2559" data-height="1399"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/98c1935f44b34bd6ad77794b29410ab5/images/5cd762fad9f345eda6f71377349885809e1a026934ed47af9ef819b83ac2f9c0.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="5cd762fad9f345eda6f7137734988580" data-width="2560" data-height="1399">One tip is to use pins and tacks, and I pinned and moved the process slowly, just like tying a scarf, to get the desired shape, if you don't pin or tack it in between, it will unravel, so it's better to pin the finished part until you get the desired shape.Also, it's good to start with a high particle distance instead of a low particle distance to get the shape, and then lower the particle distance to get the desired crease.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/98c1935f44b34bd6ad77794b29410ab5/images/ff8ea01e2f5e40d2b33c1010982b0006video_240325-ezgif.com-video-to-webp-converter.webp" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="ff8ea01e2f5e40d2b33c1010982b0006" data-width="800" data-height="439"><h1>Can you provide a brief overview of the different tools used in the pipeline?</h1>To work on the face, I used ZBrush and Maya 2022.I started by creating the basic shape in Zbrush, then converted it to MetaHuman UVs and detailed it in Zbrush again. For the skin detailing, I used a basic standard to lay the groundwork, and from there I created the skin detailing by flowing and shaping the wrinkles to match the reference as closely as possible.The cardigan and scarf were created using Marvelous Designer, with any additional wrinkles or shaping done in Zbrush. The hair and cardigan fur were done in Maya XGen, and the textures were done using Substance Painter.The final render was done in Maya Arnold, UE5 in two places.<h1>As you worked on the project, I'm sure there were some favorite and some challenging parts. What was the most enjoyable part for you during the process?</h1>In my case, the facial details were the most fun and enjoyable part.I studied the references very carefully to make sure that nothing was awkward or too noticeable when considering the overall picture, and it was fun to see how the face gradually became wrinkled and natural.I also had great mentors who taught me and gave me a lot of feedback on the likenesses, so it was a valuable process to communicate with them.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/98c1935f44b34bd6ad77794b29410ab5/images/33312ebdb0a64d49990456d06adc1cc9c5f90802a9b4432e84192d41fd316b58.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="33312ebdb0a64d49990456d06adc1cc9" data-width="4096" data-height="2301"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/98c1935f44b34bd6ad77794b29410ab5/images/a847ed3ab0e94f489f1d096b8a1e6b46b0364a01b8964812ae006c73b0ee7d97.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="a847ed3ab0e94f489f1d096b8a1e6b46" data-width="3840" data-height="2160"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/98c1935f44b34bd6ad77794b29410ab5/images/3d697fa6e063404d8624ce2046a4a5578d7878df478548cdaea7fcf1461e932c.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="3d697fa6e063404d8624ce2046a4a557" data-width="3840" data-height="2160">It was the first time I'd ever spent so much time studying someone's face, and I remember thinking, 'This is what my grandmother's nose looks like.It's so similar to my nose," or "You have a dimple here, that's where my dad and sister's dimples come from," and I had a lot of fun making it.<h1>If so, what was the biggest challenge you faced when working on the project?</h1>Working on this project was my first time using Unreal Engine.There were a lot of things I didn't know, and it took me a little longer to figure out how to work around it, but it was a great way to get me interested in the changes in 3D work, and I feel like I've learned a lot from it.<h1>Finally, do you have any advice for people getting started in 3D art? Career advice, mindset when creating artwork, or anything else.</h1>I studied 3D art late in life while doing other things, and I started studying at an academy. I've come to realize that the key to my progress lies in finding the right school, connecting with inspiring mentors, and surrounding myself with supportive friends.And I think it's also important to have a study group with friends to share what you know and learn.It can be tiring because the process is long, but if you don't give up, you will be rewarded with great results. And even if you don't get good results right away, with each subsequent artwork, you will witness noticeable growth, eventually leading to satisfying results. The teachers who taught me always said that, so I was able to achieve satisfying results. <h1> by&nbsp;Geumbi Seo <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.artstation.com/geumbi">Artstation</a></h1>
