I have been using CLO3D since fashion school and continued to learn to design with Marvelous Designer.With my participation in the Creator’s contest 2025 Vol.3, I wanted to create a design that combines elegance and movement while also experimenting with fabrics. Through the contest, I learned a lot about visualizing textures, the effect of draping and also how to simulate complex layers.<hr><h1>We’d like to hear more about the art direction in your Creator’s contest 2025 Vol.3. What was the visual style you were aiming for?</h1><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/marketplace/202509/70d356bef9f94388a84760b93a41df86/thumbnail/FANTASY-ARCHIVES_CONTEST_LOOK-01%20-%20Kopie1_10.png?resize=1&amp;f=webp&amp;w=1200&amp;fit=scale-down" alt="3D FANTASY-ARCHIVES_CONTEST_LOOK-01 Model" class="custom-image medium-size">My goal was to create a classic, elegant look with a modern twist, featuring dramatic details such as ruffles, layering, and flowing transparency. The layered textures and flowing details evoke the romantic opulence of Victorian and Edwardian fashion, while reinterpreting it in a contemporary and sculptural way.I wanted to create a balance between heavy, structured fabric and light, almost floating material. I deliberately kept the color palette muted so that the textures and draping would take center stage.I also wanted the movement of the fabric to emphasize the character's free spirit and playful personality.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/marketplace/202509/70d356bef9f94388a84760b93a41df86/thumbnail/FANTASY-ARCHIVES_CONTEST_LOOK-01%20-%20Kopie1_21.png?resize=1&amp;f=webp&amp;w=1200&amp;fit=scale-down" alt="3D FANTASY-ARCHIVES_CONTEST_LOOK-01 Model" class="custom-image original-size"><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>After visualizing my first ideas onto paper, I use Marvelous Designer to translate my first ideas into 3D. For looks with several pieces like here I usually start with the very bottom layer, which in that case was the floor-long lace skirt and the easiest piece to create in this look. By using the Polygon tool I could easily create the front and back pieces of the garment.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202602/d40b0d05aaa34aa2b2eb3b0b6199b440/images/53bcb3e9bab0487a8ddc94e5447c505901.png" alt="53bcb3e9bab0487a8ddc94e5447c5059" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="53bcb3e9bab0487a8ddc94e5447c5059" data-width="1381" data-height="1891">Continuing with the dress I had to use a different method for the bodice in order to make it look tailor-made. I used the 3D pen to draw on the avatar and then use the flatten tool to transfer the lines on the avatar into an actual 2D pattern. After a few adjustments the dress was only missing its skirt.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202602/d40b0d05aaa34aa2b2eb3b0b6199b440/images/4bf4618f9ca347dca0c70ac1859b212c02.png" alt="4bf4618f9ca347dca0c70ac1859b212c" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="4bf4618f9ca347dca0c70ac1859b212c" data-width="1396" data-height="1894"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202602/d40b0d05aaa34aa2b2eb3b0b6199b440/images/d4658ee5cf01416baab52d1bc149745703.png" alt="d4658ee5cf01416baab52d1bc1497457" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="d4658ee5cf01416baab52d1bc1497457" data-width="1390" data-height="1897">The skirt consists of two oval layers of fabric in different sizes. For this I used the ellipse tool to create the outlines and the internal ellipse tool to create the hole where the bodice is later being attached.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202602/d40b0d05aaa34aa2b2eb3b0b6199b440/images/9c71437ca9dc43ef906f6ec999de6db204.png" alt="9c71437ca9dc43ef906f6ec999de6db2" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="9c71437ca9dc43ef906f6ec999de6db2" data-width="2785" data-height="1888">For the lace details at the hem I simply created long panels of fabric to sew them around the hem.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202602/d40b0d05aaa34aa2b2eb3b0b6199b440/images/507ec2f2d73d457987fba2baca45366405.png" alt="507ec2f2d73d457987fba2baca453664" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="507ec2f2d73d457987fba2baca453664" data-width="2779" data-height="1893">The Blouse was my favourite thing to create in this look. I started by creating almost Kimono-like sleeves by using the Polygon tool. After adjusting the size and length through testing and fitting in the 3D window, I could finally start experimenting with the ruffles along the sleeves. The look was supposed to feel playful and free. Therefore I wanted to create a garment that flows with the avatars movements naturally. I tried to achieve that by creating large circles for the ruffles. Their circumference reaches from one sleeve hem to the other and even beyond.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202602/d40b0d05aaa34aa2b2eb3b0b6199b440/images/9c9fdc393761459687d8224c216fa2aa06.png" alt="9c9fdc393761459687d8224c216fa2aa" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="9c9fdc393761459687d8224c216fa2aa" data-width="2778" data-height="1888">The biggest challenge I encountered with this look was harmonizing the many layers and their very different properties. The way I worked around that was to try and focus on only one garment at a time. In order to make the different garments harmonize with each other it was very important to give each of them the chance to properly simulate before putting it all together. The freeze function was my best friend for that specific case. And also never forget to give the garments different layers!<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202602/d40b0d05aaa34aa2b2eb3b0b6199b440/images/fe09fb9ef80e4ec397fc51b36d0442f107.png" alt="fe09fb9ef80e4ec397fc51b36d0442f1" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="fe09fb9ef80e4ec397fc51b36d0442f1" data-width="2770" data-height="1888">After finishing the whole look in Marvelous Designer I moved on with CLO3D to choose and render the perfect fabrics. It was a lot about exploring and experimenting to see what fits the vibe and character the best. I experimented with transparency, thickness, texture and other properties until I finally found the perfect fit for each garment.I truly loved how spontaneous and experimental I could be with this contest. Although I already had a specific look in mind, the outcome is always different from the first idea because you get to explore all the possibilities along the way.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/marketplace/202509/70d356bef9f94388a84760b93a41df86/thumbnail/FANTASY-ARCHIVES_CONTEST_LOOK-01%20-%20Kopie1_5.png?resize=1&amp;f=webp&amp;w=1200&amp;fit=scale-down" alt="3D FANTASY-ARCHIVES_CONTEST_LOOK-01 Model" class="custom-image original-size"><hr><h1>Are there any tips and tricks with Marvelous Designer that you can share with the community?</h1>Don't simulate everything at once. Start with the base, then add the ruffles. It can take time and a lot of patience when you have to readjust single areas to make the movement look natural.But most importantly: have fun! Experiment with fabrics, explore different draping techniques and don’t be afraid to ‘ruin’ anything! Every look or piece of art you see is the outcome of experimenting and finding out along the way.<hr>

The skirt, drawn upward by cords, reveals the shoes beneath — a gesture of liberation and fluidity. Voluminous sleeves, layered fabrics, and a stiff, sculptural collar merge historical grace with futuristic defiance.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202510/1017be531c4349089eacb477f95400c0/images/9c2adacf4d444c4c94c0e01436d6640407-8-2.png" alt="9c2adacf4d444c4c94c0e01436d66404" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="9c2adacf4d444c4c94c0e01436d66404" data-width="1800" data-height="2400"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202510/1017be531c4349089eacb477f95400c0/images/b3ed680e1545496abf0f45da67637c94gandr-collage%20%2815%29.jpg" alt="b3ed680e1545496abf0f45da67637c94" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="b3ed680e1545496abf0f45da67637c94" data-width="1920" data-height="960">A vast parasol-like hat adorned with fine chains suggests both rain and radiance — fragility suspended in balance. The central figure is a puppeteer, guiding birds with silver threads — a metaphor for freedom within fashion itself. As the birds ascend into the sky, the garment too transcends its boundaries, evolving toward avant-garde expression and individuality.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202510/1017be531c4349089eacb477f95400c0/images/5aa324615bb04fc08fe9348c530abeabgandr-collage%20%2818%29.jpg" alt="5aa324615bb04fc08fe9348c530abeab" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="5aa324615bb04fc08fe9348c530abeab" data-width="1536" data-height="1920">Against a divided backdrop of white and blue — symbolizing sky and flight — the design becomes a poetic bridge between East and West, tradition and imagination, fracture and rebirth.

Since then, our presence across Southeast Asia has continued to grow, alongside our local team and partnerships. As part of our commitment to the region, we’re excited to launch a new YouTube channel dedicated to our Vietnamese Marvelous Designer community. The channel will feature Marvelous Designer news, updates, and tutorials translated and dubbed in Vietnamese. It will also include original content, including features on traditional Vietnamese garments. We’re continuing to invest in Southeast Asia, and this time Vietnam in particular, by supporting local creators and building resources that are accessible, relevant, and long-term. This new channel is one more way we’re extending that work alongside Marvelous Designer users in the region.
