She discovered CLO and 3D back in 2017, then started uploading her assets to CONNECT around 2023. When she found CONNECT, Usha realized that she only had to make a good design once for it to be reused and generate continuous value. She could use the platform to profit off her existing designs as well as use it as a portfolio website and attract clients. Our team noticed <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://connect.clo-set.com/portfolio/7188/collection/collections">UJ Designs</a>’ success on the platform and couldn’t help but wonder what the secret behind her “success formula” was.&nbsp;In simple terms, she describes her formula as a combination of:Volume + Consistency, Trending Designs, Patternmaking + Technical Knowledge, Reasonable Pricing <h1>Volume + Consistency</h1>When she just started selling on CONNECT, Usha used her flexible schedule to upload up to five designs per day. Over the 2 years of constantly uploading, she has built a personal marketplace with over 650 assets. At first glance, 650 might sound like a lot but it’s what allowed Usha to stay relevant to buyers and generate continuous sales. Her CONNECT profile is neatly organized in different clothing categories and styles, making it easy to search and browse.&nbsp;<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202603/16c0faac87214a33ba6142c72e5c4ace/images/60a755f5335540e48dbd1567c30c6256Screenshot%202026-02-05%20at%202.11.10%E2%80%AFPM.png" alt="60a755f5335540e48dbd1567c30c6256" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="60a755f5335540e48dbd1567c30c6256" data-width="3320" data-height="1760"><h1>Trending Designs</h1>Usha taught herself digital patternmaking by watching YouTube videos and refined her skills by replicating trending designs she liked while window shopping. She mainly focuses on classic, easily customizable silhouettes, making her designs extremely appealing to both freelance designers and emerging brands.&nbsp;Aspiring designers who'd like to learn how to use CLO now can take in-depth courses on <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cloacademy.online/catalog">CLO Academy</a> or refer to many resources on <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/@CLO3D">CLO YouTube</a> channel to jumpstart their own journey.&nbsp; <h1><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202603/16c0faac87214a33ba6142c72e5c4ace/images/5cf4e0f2b95248d3aab6d69a5eca97fcScreenshot%202026-02-11%20at%205.02.23%E2%80%AFPM.png" alt="5cf4e0f2b95248d3aab6d69a5eca97fc" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="5cf4e0f2b95248d3aab6d69a5eca97fc" data-width="3354" data-height="1910"> Patternmaking + Technical Knowledge</h1>Before getting into freelancing, Usha worked in corporate fashion. Given her background in manufacturing and experience creating tech packs, her asset files come with a lot of crucial information and instructions like precise stitching placements, making it easier for the manufacturer to produce the garment. Using CONNECT’s 3D viewer, buyers can check the pattern inside out to confirm its functionality without needing to download the file and open CLO. <img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202603/16c0faac87214a33ba6142c72e5c4ace/images/11b05179c92e43acaa68adc2a7278dcdconnect_gif.gif" alt="11b05179c92e43acaa68adc2a7278dcd" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="11b05179c92e43acaa68adc2a7278dcd" data-width="434" data-height="250"><h1>Reasonable Pricing</h1>All of the points above combined helped Usha differentiate herself from other sellers and set her pricing comfortably without overcharging but still taking into account the effort and time that goes into the creation of a single functional design.&nbsp;<h2 style="text-align: center">“I realized that there are a lot of young designers out there who probably also want to start but do not possess a 3D skillset yet or just need a base to start. That’s why I also didn’t price my assets too high. They can buy them and just edit to use it for their clients. Add the client’s logo. Add the color. And then they can charge any amount they want.”</h2><h2 style="text-align: center"></h2><h1>The key to Usha’s approach</h1>Usha encourages designers to focus on building something sustainable. For her, CONNECT wasn’t about overnight success. It was about consistently showing up, refining her catalog, and treating her profile like a growing storefront.She also leveraged <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/connect.by.usha/">Instagram</a> to drive traffic and saw firsthand how visibility impacts sales. When she stopped posting, sales dipped, a reminder that even passive income benefits from ongoing attention. Her takeaway: build steadily, stay visible, and give your work time to compound.Whether you’re looking for high-quality 3D assets or ready to launch your own digital storefront, CONNECT is the place to be.

(예를 들어, 시뮬레이션 결과가 너무 지저분해 보이지 않도록 주름을 단순화하거나, 애니메이션 스타일의 룩에 맞춰 패턴에 특별한 조정을 가하셨나요?)[A]: &lt;완댄스&gt;의 모션캡쳐 컨셉은 '댄서가 그리는 애니메이션'입니다. 저희는 댄스의 역동성뿐만 아니라, 의상의 주름 하나하나가 댄서의 움직임에서 태어난 표현이어야 한다고 믿었습니다.마블러스 디자이너는 매우 유연하고 사실적인 원단의 굽힘을 재현하지만, 그 상태 그대로는 애니메이션 스타일의 룩에 담기에는 정보량이 너무 많습니다. 따라서 의도적으로 '주름의 수를 줄이고 정리하는' 조정이 필요했습니다. 이 룩 조정의 핵심은 이번 프로젝트의 메인 툴인 블렌더였습니다. 마블러스 디자이너에서 생성된 사실적인 주름 정보를 직접 사용하는 대신, 블렌더의 지오메트리 노드(Geometry Nodes)를 활용했습니다. 원본 노멀(Normal) 정보에 블러(Blur)를 적용하여 이를 속성(Attribute)으로 저장한 뒤, 쉐이더 에디터(Shader Editor) 측에서 이를 불러와 제어했습니다. 이를 통해 마블러스 디자이너에서 비롯된 사실적인 거동을 활용하면서도, 전통적인 2D 작화 애니메이션과 완벽하게 어우러지는 '애니메이션 스타일의 룩'으로 치환할 수 있었습니다.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202605/62d7c6e20b5f439fade6598fd25b1036/images/7d22e96893b04c93a4087516269b543f2%E3%83%AA%E3%82%A2%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B9%E3%83%86%E3%82%A3%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%81%95%E3%81%A8%E3%82%A2%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A1%E7%9A%84%E8%A1%A8%E7%8F%BE%E3%81%AE%E3%83%90%E3%83%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B91_%E3%81%97%E3%82%8F%E6%B3%95%E7%B7%9A%E3%82%B9%E3%83%A0%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B9.png" alt="7d22e96893b04c93a4087516269b543f" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="7d22e96893b04c93a4087516269b543f" data-width="3508" data-height="2480">&lt;완댄스&gt;의 마블러스 디자이너 워크플로우에서 또 다른 특징은 모든 조정이 '댄스 중의 움직임'을 기준으로 이루어졌다는 점입니다. 일반적인 의상 제작에서는 서 있는 자세(T포즈나 A포즈)에서의 외형을 우선시하는 경향이 있지만, 저희는 의도적으로 그것을 피했습니다. 옷의 처짐과 밑단 길이, 볼륨감에 이르기까지 모든 조정을 철저히 '춤을 추고 있을 때 어떻게 보이는가'에 집중했습니다.목표는 격렬한 댄스 스텝과 큰 동작 중에서 가장 멋지고 아름다운 실루엣을 끌어내는 것이었습니다. "움직이는 상태가 곧 의상의 완성형"이라는 철학은 댄스를 주제로 한 이번 프로젝트에서 어쩌면 필연적인 접근 방식이었죠. 단순히 시뮬레이션 결과를 그대로 받아들이기보다, 댄스의 역동성을 극대화하기 위해 움직임을 확인하며 끊임없이 완벽한 실루엣을 추구했습니다.<hr> 3. 격렬한 움직임(댄스) 제어[Q]: 캐릭터들이 고속 회전이나 점프가 포함된 격렬한 댄스를 선보이는데, 후드나 레이어드 룩처럼 시뮬레이션 난이도가 높은 의상을 입고 있습니다. 이러한 극한의 움직임을 다룰 때 가장 큰 어려움은 무엇이었나요?[A]: 다행히 특별한 주의가 필요한 의상이 아주 많지는 않았지만, 가장 핵심적인 과제는 "캐릭터 디자인에서 너무 벗어나지 않게 하는 것"이었습니다. 구체적으로 예를 들면, 댄스 중에 후드가 머리를 덮을 수는 있지만 그대로 머리에 씌워진 채로 있어서는 안 되며, 셔츠 밑단이 잠시 뒤집힐 수는 있어도 계속 뒤집힌 상태로 멈춰 있어서는 안 됩니다. 격렬한 움직임 이후에 (비록 물리적으로는 정확할지라도) 의상의 형태가 크게 무너지는 것을 방지하기 위해, 핀(pins)과 택(tacks) 기능을 적극적으로 활용했습니다. <img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202605/62d7c6e20b5f439fade6598fd25b1036/images/49f340b3b0fc4375b59fe47fb5d5b9b93%E6%BF%80%E3%81%97%E3%81%84%E5%8B%95%E3%81%8D%28%E3%83%80%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B9%E3%81%AE%E5%88%B6%E5%BE%A1%291_%E9%83%A8%E6%B4%BB%E7%B4%B9%E4%BB%8B%E3%83%80%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B9%E3%83%91%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AB%E3%83%BC%E3%81%AE%E3%83%95%E3%83%BC%E3%83%89.jpg" alt="49f340b3b0fc4375b59fe47fb5d5b9b9" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="49f340b3b0fc4375b59fe47fb5d5b9b9" data-width="3508" data-height="2480"><div data-youtube-video="" style="padding:56.25% 0 0 0; position:relative;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BkFMZfp8RLk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" width="800" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" style="position:absolute; top:0; left:0; width:100%; height:100%;"></iframe></div>[추가 질문][Q]: 스트릿 댄스에서 옷의 흔들림은 댄서의 개성이 연장된 것이라고도 할 수 있습니다. 캐릭터마다 다른 댄스 스타일을 반영하기 위해 옷감의 물리적 특성(무게, 마찰, 두께 등)을 개별적으로 조정하셨나요? (예: 공격적인 댄서에게는 더 무거운 원단을 설정하고, 유려한 움직임을 가진 댄서에게는 더 가벼운 원단을 설정하는 등)[A]: 저희는 캐릭터 디자인에 부합하는 원단 선택(저지, 스웨트셔츠, 데님 등)을 최우선으로 고려했으며, 움직임의 조절은 주로 패턴을 통해 진행했습니다. 클로스 시뮬레이션의 다양하고 복잡한 파라미터를 일일이 조정하는 것은 시간이 너무 많이 소요되는 경우가 많았기 때문에, 프리셋의 도움을 크게 받았습니다.<hr>4. 주식회사 텐키(Tenju Co., Ltd.)와의 협업[Q]: 이번 프로젝트에서는 디지털 패션 전문 기업인 주식회사 텐키와 협업하여 의상 패턴을 제작했다고 들었습니다. 이러한 파트너십이 마블러스 디자이너 제작 공정을 어떻게 발전시켰나요? 또한, 기존의 CG 에셋 교환 방식과 비교했을 때 스튜디오 간에 '마블러스 디자이너 프로젝트 파일'을 공유함으로써 얻은 독특한 발견이나 워크플로상의 이점은 무엇이었나요?[A]: 사실 마블러스 디자이너를 워크플로에 도입하면서 마주한 가장 큰 장벽은 '재봉(패턴)'이라는 개념 그 자체였습니다. 이전까지는 옷을 전부 모델링 방식으로만 만들어왔기 때문에, 실제 의복 제작이나 패턴에 관한 지식이 필요할 것이라고는 상상도 못 했습니다.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202605/62d7c6e20b5f439fade6598fd25b1036/images/8413b5cfdbf24bafae27b76be35a7ca44%E6%A0%AA%E5%BC%8F%E4%BC%9A%E7%A4%BE%E5%85%B8%E6%A8%B9%E3%81%A8%E3%81%AE%E9%80%A3%E6%90%BA1_%E6%B9%BE%E7%94%B0%E5%88%B6%E6%9C%8D%E3%82%AB%E3%83%BC%E3%83%87%E3%82%A3%E3%82%AC%E3%83%B3_%E6%9C%80%E7%B5%82%E3%83%91%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC%E3%83%B3.jpg" alt="8413b5cfdbf24bafae27b76be35a7ca4" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="8413b5cfdbf24bafae27b76be35a7ca4" data-width="2564" data-height="1318"> <img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202605/62d7c6e20b5f439fade6598fd25b1036/images/a7b99975138f4e74abf1af03b61b7f464%E6%A0%AA%E5%BC%8F%E4%BC%9A%E7%A4%BE%E5%85%B8%E6%A8%B9%E3%81%A8%E3%81%AE%E9%80%A3%E6%90%BA2_%E3%82%AB%E3%83%9C%E3%81%AE%E7%B7%B4%E7%BF%92%E7%9D%80_%E6%9C%80%E7%B5%82%E3%83%91%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC%E3%83%B3.jpg" alt="a7b99975138f4e74abf1af03b61b7f46" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="a7b99975138f4e74abf1af03b61b7f46" data-width="2564" data-height="1318">저희의 마블러스 디자이너 의상 패턴에 대해서라면 텐키(Tenju) 사를 빼놓고는 이야기할 수 없습니다. 결국 저희는 옷이 말 그대로 어떻게 만들어지는지부터 배워야 하는 단계에서 시작했으니까요. 텐키 사는 애니메이션의 의상 디자인을 바탕으로 저희를 위해 방대한 양의 의상 패턴을 제작해 주었습니다.<hr>5. 애니메이션 표현의 확장과 전망[Q]: 이 워크플로의 성공을 미루어 볼 때, 마블러스 디자이너와 같은 툴이 향후 애니메이션 제작을 어떻게 변화시킬 것이라고 보십니까? (액션 중심의 작품이나 패션에 집중한 애니메이션을 만들고자 하는 창작자들에게 새로운 가능성을 열어줄 것이라고 보시나요?)[A]: 이번 워크플로 경험을 통해, 마블러스 디자이너와 같은 툴이 패션 중심의 작품뿐만 아니라 애니메이션 제작 전반의 가능성을 크게 확장할 것이라 확신하게 되었습니다.특히 사실적인 군중 씬, 대규모 전투, 그리고 격렬한 격투 묘사 등에 있어 제작 부하를 획기적으로 줄이면서도 표현의 질을 높이는 매우 효과적인 수단이 될 것입니다. '툴을 통해 효율화할 수 있는 영역'을 극대화할 수 있다면, 연출이나 작화와 같이 '정말로 에너지를 쏟아야 할(칼로리를 소비해야 할) 공정'에 리소스를 집중할 수 있습니다.또한, 마블러스 디자이너 를 사용하며 놀랐던 점은 고도의 물리 시뮬레이션을 수행함에도 불구하고 조작감이 믿을 수 없을 정도로 가볍고 경쾌했다는 점입니다. 이러한 직관적인 조작감은 끊임없이 시행착오를 거치는 창작자의 상상력을 방해하지 않으며, 결과적으로 표현의 퀄리티를 끌어올리는 원동력이 된다고 느낍니다.<div data-youtube-video="" style="padding:56.25% 0 0 0; position:relative;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TZc7DKeVeHk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" width="800" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" style="position:absolute; top:0; left:0; width:100%; height:100%;"></iframe></div><div data-youtube-video="" style="padding:56.25% 0 0 0; position:relative;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qdd867UPIn8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" width="800" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" style="position:absolute; top:0; left:0; width:100%; height:100%;"></iframe></div>[추가 질문][Q]: 이번 경험을 바탕으로, 기존 방식과 비교했을 때 '애니메이션 제작에 마블러스 디자이너를 사용하는 가장 큰 장점'은 무엇이라고 생각하시나요?[A]: &lt;완댄스(Wandance)&gt;와 같은 프로젝트에서 그 방대한 양의 댄스 장면과 엄청난 의상 베리에이션을 동시에 소화하는 것은 마블러스 디자이너 없이는 완전히 불가능했을 것입니다. 제작 현장에 미친 영향은 그만큼 엄청났습니다.기존 방식과의 결정적인 차이이자 가장 큰 장점은 "액션이나 패션의 디테일을 타협하지 않고, 순수하게 '보여주고 싶은 비전'에 도전할 수 있다는 점"이라고 생각합니다.이전에는 기술적 제약이나 제작 시간의 한계로 인해 포기해야 했던 표현들을 이제는 마블러스 디자이너를 통해 세상에 내놓을 수 있게 되었습니다. 창작자들이 "진정으로 보여주고 싶은 장면"에 대해 타협하지 않고 밀고 나갈 수 있는 환경을 제공하는 것—그것이야말로 이 툴을 도입한 진정한 가치라고 믿습니다.

I create 3D oversized streetwear designs for brands and I help them develop their ideas in 3D, bridging digital fashion designs with real industry workflows — making 3D not just a visual tool, but a full production system.How did you get started in 3D fashion, and what role does CLO currently play in your creative workflow?After studying fashion design I didn’t want to become a traditional fashion designer and I was also not good with drawing so I was looking for a way to make designs in a different way. I also wanted to travel the world and when I discovered CLO it was the right fit for me. In the beginning I created more experimental and artsy designs and renders but found my way into the freelance world and creating designs that are ready to be produced by brands.CLO is everything in my creative workflow, I start with an idea in my head and jump right into CLO to create it. No sketching or mood board.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202603/9eed4735f3614787bc3f6a4dfe667bf0/images/3b632028836b4de38bc0216cd25f24e6Final_pants_closeup%20%281%29.png" alt="3b632028836b4de38bc0216cd25f24e6" class="custom-image large-size" data-id="3b632028836b4de38bc0216cd25f24e6" data-width="1950" data-height="2600">For beginners who face "blank canvas syndrome," do you have a favorite starting method?I always start with a block that comes closest to the garment I want to create and then go from there. I never start from scratch. Over the years I built a library of garments which I can use for my daily work.Your recent work shows a shift from heavy hardware to a more 'articulated' aesthetic where the pattern itself defines the silhouette. When you begin a project, do you prioritize the 2D pattern's structural logic or the 3D drape's visual impact to achieve this technical look?I always create the base first, which means the overall shape has to look good, and then I put in the actual design with all the details like cuts, piping, stitching etc. <img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202603/9eed4735f3614787bc3f6a4dfe667bf0/images/33f4708ccc984dde83c29a810174996eAnarchy_amsterdam_windbreaker_front_new.png" alt="33f4708ccc984dde83c29a810174996e" class="custom-image large-size" data-id="33f4708ccc984dde83c29a810174996e" data-width="2300" data-height="3000"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202603/9eed4735f3614787bc3f6a4dfe667bf0/images/b7e5aadbaff34e22897c5c8324b733e6Anarchy_amsterdam_windbreaker_inside.png" alt="b7e5aadbaff34e22897c5c8324b733e6" class="custom-image large-size" data-id="b7e5aadbaff34e22897c5c8324b733e6" data-width="2300" data-height="3000"> Technical wear often draws inspiration from non-fashion elements like architecture or industrial design. When translating these inspirations into CLO, how do you handle the 'materiality'? For instance, how do you simulate the tension and stiffness of technical fabrics to match your vision?For materiality, I spend a lot of time dialing in fabric properties instead of relying on defaults. I adjust stiffness, stretch, thickness, and pressure to simulate tension and structure — especially for technical or industrial-inspired pieces. I treat fabrics almost like engineering materials, not just textures.Is there one specific setting in the Property Editor (e.g., Shear, Bending, or Thickness) that you think is the "secret ingredient" for that stiff, technical look?That stiff, technical look comes from a combination — keep the stretch and shear values low and the bending values high. A proper thickness supports that.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202603/9eed4735f3614787bc3f6a4dfe667bf0/images/2a8811a28d7043a78b33087c558d19ebScreenshot%20Hoodie_35.3_pattern.png" alt="2a8811a28d7043a78b33087c558d19eb" class="custom-image large-size" data-id="2a8811a28d7043a78b33087c558d19eb" data-width="2560" data-height="1440">To achieve the 'refined realism' seen in your latest portfolio—such as clean bonding lines and complex layer stacks—which specific CLO tools or 'hidden' workflows (e.g., modular configurations, custom trims) have become most indispensable for your quality control?For refined realism, the key tools for me are layer cloning, precise seam control, custom trims, and very organized pattern setups. I also rely heavily on modular workflows — building pieces in clean systems so I can control complexity without breaking realism. Clean bonding lines and stacking only work if everything underneath is technically solid.<hr>You are actively selling your assets on CONNECT. Creating a product for others to use must be different from creating personal art. What is your top priority when creating assets for sale?When I create assets for others, usability comes first. I create a lot of base shapes so they can be used in CLO projects. The asset has to be easy to modify and immediately usable — not just look good in a render.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202603/9eed4735f3614787bc3f6a4dfe667bf0/images/2c0a142734884c6ab57ca19fbb31b75fimage.png" alt="2c0a142734884c6ab57ca19fbb31b75f" class="custom-image large-size" data-id="2c0a142734884c6ab57ca19fbb31b75f" data-width="1530" data-height="298"> How does it feel to see your assets being used in other creators' works? Do you have any memorable moments related to this?I know that people are using my assets, even if I don’t see the final results. That is completely fine, because my goal is to provide a starting point for creators to build their own designs.You mentioned the "location-independent" lifestyle. What is the one reality check or challenge of this lifestyle that aspiring freelancers should know?For me there wasn't a big challenge, of course it's good if you have a steady income so you don't get into any trouble and you have to tell yourself that it's not a vacation, even though you might live next to a beautiful beach.And you have to stay consistent. When you’re moving between countries, routines break easily — work hours shift, internet quality varies, energy levels change, and it’s on you to still deliver at a professional level no matter where you are.The upside is real freedom. But the trade-off is that you have to build systems, habits, and financial buffers first.It still was the best decision for me and a dream come true. I can travel the world and work my dream job every day.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202603/9eed4735f3614787bc3f6a4dfe667bf0/images/56577592cad04dce8df4c6eeaf58f640IMG_20260224_115518_178.jpg" alt="56577592cad04dce8df4c6eeaf58f640" class="custom-image large-size" data-id="56577592cad04dce8df4c6eeaf58f640" data-width="1199" data-height="1600"> What are your future goals as a designer and a seller? Are there any new collections or projects you are currently working on?The current project I’m working on is a program to help 3D fashion designers build freelance income like me so they can work with their dream clients and be location independent. Besides that I’m always designing new pieces and working on client projects. That's my daily work.
