Could you introduce the recent project - Cyberpunk 2077 ?</h1>Cyberpunk 2077 is an open world action role-playing video game developed by CD PROJEKT RED set in Mike Pondsmith’s Cyberpunk universe. In the game, players take on the role of up-and-coming mercenary V, embarking on a violent and dangerous journey through the underbelly of Night City, where body modification via the installation of cyberware is a common part of everyday life.In terms of art, Cyberpunk 2077 is the most demanding and ambitious project in the studio’s history so far. Night City is populated with characters representing a wide spectrum of society from poverty, gangs, and middle class, to corporation workers, celebrities, and even droids. To fill this world, the character art department had to create hundreds of high quality models to make the city feel as immersive and believable as possible.<h1>2.&nbsp;How is Marvelous Designer integrated in the project pipeline?</h1>Marvelous Designer is one of the most important tools in our character creation pipeline. Almost all the characters' clothes that you can see in Cyberpunk 2077 were created with help of Marvelous Designer.It was used not only for character garments but also for some cybernetic parts, backpacks, ammo bags, and even weapons. The main challenge during the creation of models for the game was its futuristic cloth design — for example the jacket worn by the main character V. This jacket combines garments with cyberware, and thanks to Marvelous Designer’s variety of material presets, the ability to sew one cloth layer onto another, and features like seam taping, I was able to achieve the desired look.<h1>3. Tell us some tips of patterns making and cloth simulation.</h1>One of my favorite techniques for making realistic folds is the two layer approach. For the bottom layer I often use firm fabric presets like Leather_Cowhide which is used as a cloth base, while for the top one I'll use softer prestes like Nylon_Featherweight — with slightly increased Shrinkage parameters to finalize folds details. For things like cables, collars, and zippers I recommend using the Trim_Full_Grain_Leather preset which you can export to 3D modeling software and use as a starting point for the final model.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/a7f9011def9f4c85bdc073da221a9146/images/afe6e1c360af43059f123044169156521%20%281%29.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="afe6e1c360af43059f12304416915652" data-width="2048" data-height="1152"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/a7f9011def9f4c85bdc073da221a9146/images/7b2d6fe7f1f24a40b2f38f41433c3dc42%20%281%29.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="7b2d6fe7f1f24a40b2f38f41433c3dc4" data-width="2048" data-height="925"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/a7f9011def9f4c85bdc073da221a9146/images/d5d83003ea5f4ea58621983a129dd8113%20%281%29.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="d5d83003ea5f4ea58621983a129dd811" data-width="2048" data-height="773"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/a7f9011def9f4c85bdc073da221a9146/images/a2ebc356f4184cb196921fa22354822c6.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="a2ebc356f4184cb196921fa22354822c" data-width="2048" data-height="1419"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/a7f9011def9f4c85bdc073da221a9146/images/bfda9e5ee0f249a6ae43a3b4a2affbcd5.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="bfda9e5ee0f249a6ae43a3b4a2affbcd" data-width="2045" data-height="1050"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/a7f9011def9f4c85bdc073da221a9146/images/877d7f44bd7a4b749f14c6888c444d104.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="877d7f44bd7a4b749f14c6888c444d10" data-width="2048" data-height="742">This puffy vest is a great example of how the two layer approach combined with pressure works. In this case I created a simple vest pattern as a base. Layer clone (over), drawing internal lines, and then the cut and sew function were used to create cushioned parts. To achieve a realistic look and finalize the necessary details, I increased shrinkage value and applied some pressure to separate pattern pieces.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/a7f9011def9f4c85bdc073da221a9146/images/024d6642b78c4b3eb3732db8b1ae2e247.png" class="custom-image medium-size" data-id="024d6642b78c4b3eb3732db8b1ae2e24" data-width="2048" data-height="1197"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/a7f9011def9f4c85bdc073da221a9146/images/b1c60e4bba754e688d2198e0cfe304f88.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="b1c60e4bba754e688d2198e0cfe304f8" data-width="2048" data-height="917">Marvelous Designer has the great ability to edit every single fabric parameter by hand; so the cloth look can be improved even without changing the patterns. In this case the user manual was very helpful for explaining how Bending, Shear, or Buckling works.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/a7f9011def9f4c85bdc073da221a9146/images/2e7aaabfdb874de18cc1730f16e2f187c6044a6bd1ad44e1989277f6eb122d81.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="2e7aaabfdb874de18cc1730f16e2f187" data-width="2048" data-height="831">Another great feature of Marvelous Designer allows the importing of objects as patterns. This is very helpful in cases when you want to combine hard surfaces with cloth. For Cyberpunk 2077, I used this function to create some elements for Adam Smasher’s model — such as the cloth on the pipes, and cloth on his armor plates. To make those pieces, first I created simple models with UV maps, then imported them to Marvelous Designer as Avatar. Secondly, I imported them again but this time using the Load as Garment option with Trace 2D Patterns from UV Map checked on.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/a7f9011def9f4c85bdc073da221a9146/images/24088fba74cb474484827d2e93af350f10.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="24088fba74cb474484827d2e93af350f" data-width="1825" data-height="1048"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/a7f9011def9f4c85bdc073da221a9146/images/e38550e144f04800bdfd19225edac8c711.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="e38550e144f04800bdfd19225edac8c7" data-width="2048" data-height="890">One of the tricks I use to keep cloth from falling off the avatar is to apply a negative pressure value to the pattern, then freeze it and use Layer Clone (over) so I have a pattern base to start with.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/a7f9011def9f4c85bdc073da221a9146/images/8a77538c14de47a19a6d8bfa663e06aa13.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="8a77538c14de47a19a6d8bfa663e06aa" data-width="2048" data-height="1087"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/a7f9011def9f4c85bdc073da221a9146/images/eb5d47a28eb74bb9a526116f73108b3f12.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="eb5d47a28eb74bb9a526116f73108b3f" data-width="2048" data-height="703">The policeman hat model is a good example of how avatars can help with garment creation. Here, using other 3D software I modeled a skeleton/chassis to support the cloth shape, then imported it as Avatar.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/a7f9011def9f4c85bdc073da221a9146/images/c4fe0a2f76a54c9dbfcbc5f4dea1f95314.png" class="custom-image medium-size" data-id="c4fe0a2f76a54c9dbfcbc5f4dea1f953" data-width="2048" data-height="1828"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/a7f9011def9f4c85bdc073da221a9146/images/282f3021577349b8b48ab81ff3db6fa015.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="282f3021577349b8b48ab81ff3db6fa0" data-width="1899" data-height="1088"><h1>4. What is Marvelous Designer’s strong point to use?</h1>Everybody knows how sculpting clothes by hand takes a lot of time and, sometimes, the result is not satisfactory even for the most experienced artists. Marvelous Designer is the solution for that. It's a completely new way of making clothes, it's easy to learn, and the final results can be consistently outstanding.I would definitely recommend Marvelous Designer to other 3D artists. Using Marvelous Designer is the best way to improve the quality of your models.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/a7f9011def9f4c85bdc073da221a9146/images/1ea829d5e3f8441fbd12a6cedb55024099bd4ab6c8c84a07a82a68fe5f83eed9.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="1ea829d5e3f8441fbd12a6cedb550240" data-width="2048" data-height="1146">by&nbsp;CD PROJEKT REDLink to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://en.cdprojektred.com/">CD PROJEKT RED&nbsp;official website</a><hr>CD PROJEKT®, Cyberpunk®, Cyberpunk 2077® are registered trademarks of CD PROJEKT S.A. © 2021 CD PROJEKT S.A.

I often handle the entire process—from initial planning to final production—solo, though I also participate as a supervisor or team member for larger-scale projects. As a 3D generalist, I take a hands-on approach to most stages of the creative workflow.This project was my submission for Pwnisher’s ‘Dream Sequence’ challenge held earlier this year. The core task was to express a sense of motion synced to 120bpm music, which I chose to interpret through the theme of DJing. I wanted to make the visuals more engaging by integrating traditional Korean elements. Drawing inspiration particularly from the energy of BLACKPINK’s ‘JUMP’ music video, I worked with the vision of a DJ festival taking place in a near-future Seoul. <div data-youtube-video="" style="padding:56.25% 0 0 0; position:relative;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RJ1oyLj1bXk?start=0" 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><h1>How was Marvelous Designer utilized in this project?</h1>Character design was pivotal for this work, as the entire scene—including camera animation, stage lighting, and fireworks—revolves around the central DJ figure. While the character wears a Hahoe mask (a traditional Korean mask) to highlight cultural roots, I also needed to convey a streetwear aesthetic that fits a modern DJ. Therefore, the core objective was to create a costume that naturally fused Korean traditional beauty with a contemporary street vibe. <img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202604/4caba29455c442e1b0087639cd5190ac/images/af5324c8bd864f409286adf7141024b4Capture%281%29.png" alt="af5324c8bd864f409286adf7141024b4" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="af5324c8bd864f409286adf7141024b4" data-width="3840" data-height="2088">Marvelous Designer was an indispensable tool throughout the detailed planning and production of these garments. Beyond standard clothing creation, it proved highly efficient for incorporating complex elements like the Gonryongpo (royal dragon robe) features and traditional Korean patchwork details.<h1>What are your favorite features or tools in Marvelous Designer?</h1><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202604/4caba29455c442e1b0087639cd5190ac/images/000dce68176b439b8969df0a47b70bd9Capture%282%29.png" alt="000dce68176b439b8969df0a47b70bd9" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="000dce68176b439b8969df0a47b70bd9" data-width="3840" data-height="2088"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202604/4caba29455c442e1b0087639cd5190ac/images/0e41e67229e34b099a316382c5412617Capture.png" alt="0e41e67229e34b099a316382c5412617" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="0e41e67229e34b099a316382c5412617" data-width="3840" data-height="2088">First, I frequently use ‘M:N Free Sewing.’ As garments become more complex, the sewing process can often get confusing or tricky. However, as long as you know which patterns connect to which parts, this feature allows for a fast and intuitive workflow, which is a massive help in saving production time.Second is the ‘Attach to Measure (Avatar)’ feature. Although I didn’t use it for this specific project, it is incredibly useful for securing garments to the character. For example, simulations can sometimes become unstable when fabric is tucked inside shoes; in such cases, I use this tool to pin the cloth to the ankle area for stability. It’s also great for scenes with hanging fabrics, like curtains, where the support structure isn't visible in the camera frame. By attaching the fabric to a simple primitive, I can achieve a natural look very quickly—making it a go-to tool when I need to deliver results on a tight schedule.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202604/4caba29455c442e1b0087639cd5190ac/images/c2aa6cd51b894619a5afb4ace292b2bcCapture%283%29.png" alt="c2aa6cd51b894619a5afb4ace292b2bc" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="c2aa6cd51b894619a5afb4ace292b2bc" data-width="3840" data-height="2088">Lastly, I frequently utilize the ‘Graphic (2D Pattern)’ feature. I often create and export Diffuse maps directly within Marvelous Designer, and this tool significantly boosts my efficiency. It allows me to intuitively visualize how graphics are applied to a pattern even before the UV unwrapping stage, making the overall workflow much more streamlined.<hr><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.behance.net/soohwan_art">Behance</a><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/ohso0hwan">Instagram</a><h1>Stay tuned for our special series featuring Su-hwan Oh’s diverse portfolio and his expert Marvelous Designer know-how!</h1>

Once a graduate of Tama Art University's Department of Graphic Design, and currently a lecturer, he builds boldly colored figures whose garments feel both impossible and convincingly real.</h2> Working with Marvelous Designer, Cinema 4D, and ZBrush, Kota uses cloth simulation to chase a kind of realism that pure sculpting can't easily reach. Drawing on his portfolio "<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://kotayamaji.com/digitalfashion.html">Digital Fashion Project</a>," we talk with him about his encounters with digital art and Marvelous Designer, where his ideas come from, and how he thinks about the future of digital fashion.<h1> <img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/95da5a77501a4e86b1ab94ffa8de3287/images/96fae3fb8e9a4684b345ea6a7c9b28c6190124.jpg" alt="96fae3fb8e9a4684b345ea6a7c9b28c6" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="96fae3fb8e9a4684b345ea6a7c9b28c6" data-width="2048" data-height="2048"> Meet the artist</h1>First, please introduce yourself to the community.My name is Kota Yamaji. After graduating from the Department of Graphic Design at Tama Art University, I began creating illustration and moving-image work using 3DCG. I currently also teach 3DCG as a part-time lecturer at Tama Art University. Tell us how you got into art and creation, and how you came to teach CG at Tama Art University. How do you see the potential of 3DCG within art? Since I went to an art university to begin with, if you think of "creation" in the broadest sense, my first real starting point was probably preparing for the art school entrance exams. But when it comes to digital art specifically, the trigger was learning 3DCG software during my university years. 3DCG isn't limited to digital media—it can be applied physically as well, through things like 3D printing, so I think there are all kinds of ways to make use of it. As for how I ended up teaching, a professor from my student days suddenly got in touch with me. It seems they had seen my work somewhere.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/95da5a77501a4e86b1ab94ffa8de3287/images/5ce6e7bb6bca4ded885502190b15d6d8181109.jpg" alt="5ce6e7bb6bca4ded885502190b15d6d8" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="5ce6e7bb6bca4ded885502190b15d6d8" data-width="2048" data-height="2048"><hr><h1>Discovering Marvelous Designer</h1>What first led you to start using Marvelous Designer? Can you tell us about the moment you felt, "This is something I can use for my own work"?What got me started was seeing the WIP (work-in-progress) posts of an artist I admire and noticing that Marvelous Designer was part of their workflow. In a pipeline that combines Cinema 4D and ZBrush, at what point do you reach for Marvelous Designer? Where do you feel it does something the other tools simply can't replace?I mostly use it to create clothing for characters. Realistic garment expression really is something only simulation can deliver. With sculpt modeling in ZBrush and similar tools, it might be possible to build something realistic if you put in enough time—but the sheer ease of simulation is a genuine draw.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/95da5a77501a4e86b1ab94ffa8de3287/images/d1ae1914436d4952b3211e9733c28727Screenshot%202026-06-11%20060631.png" alt="d1ae1914436d4952b3211e9733c28727" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="d1ae1914436d4952b3211e9733c28727" data-width="3440" data-height="1391">Yamaji's Marvelous Designer workspace—patterning in the 2D window with the garment draped on the avatar in 3D.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/95da5a77501a4e86b1ab94ffa8de3287/images/4e4c17b0fbad461f87845b57a3db7474Screenshot%202026-06-11%20061035.png" alt="4e4c17b0fbad461f87845b57a3db7474" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="4e4c17b0fbad461f87845b57a3db7474" data-width="3440" data-height="1391">Draping done in Marvelous Designer <img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/95da5a77501a4e86b1ab94ffa8de3287/images/026e811d736946598ce86eceedec7819250305.png" alt="026e811d736946598ce86eceedec7819" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="026e811d736946598ce86eceedec7819" data-width="900" data-height="900"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/95da5a77501a4e86b1ab94ffa8de3287/images/33e71792ebec4f2cbbf371c4d939f76d250305_posed.png" alt="33e71792ebec4f2cbbf371c4d939f76d" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="33e71792ebec4f2cbbf371c4d939f76d" data-width="900" data-height="900"> A garment simulated on the avatar (first) and carried through to a dynamic pose (second), with texturing also handled in Marvelous Designer. <img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/95da5a77501a4e86b1ab94ffa8de3287/images/c7fc30501efa4a0abd47ee0020d3cb14Screenshot%202026-06-11%20061638.png" alt="c7fc30501efa4a0abd47ee0020d3cb14" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="c7fc30501efa4a0abd47ee0020d3cb14" data-width="3440" data-height="1392">Working on Cinema 4D<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/95da5a77501a4e86b1ab94ffa8de3287/images/a3e191350afc4c1c8c7edf0089db5627250305.jpg" alt="a3e191350afc4c1c8c7edf0089db5627" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="a3e191350afc4c1c8c7edf0089db5627" data-width="1600" data-height="2000">Final Visual<hr><h1>Ideas and Inspiration</h1>Where do your ideas usually come from? Music, fashion, everyday scenery—what tends to be the starting point for your work?I'm influenced by so many different things that it's hard to narrow it down to any single one. I get the sense that my final inspiration comes from an abstracted, almost unspeakable space where all of those things mix together.When you make digital clothing, are you conscious of the physical constraints of real garments—gravity, material, stitching? Or do you enjoy deliberately freeing yourself from those constraints?When making something digital, I think it often becomes more interesting if you ignore those constraints. But at the same time, simulation is exactly what makes realistic expression possible through physical constraints—so I feel it's something of a trade-off. <img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/95da5a77501a4e86b1ab94ffa8de3287/images/e0d5f6519e064aa59dddbacd92ae0219190129.jpg" alt="e0d5f6519e064aa59dddbacd92ae0219" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="e0d5f6519e064aa59dddbacd92ae0219" data-width="2048" data-height="2048"><hr><h1>The Future of Digital Fashion</h1>When it comes to the possibilities of digital fashion, what kind of future do you picture for yourself?I don't have all that much specialized knowledge myself, but I think it would be exciting if digital fashion came to be used more often in the creation of real garments. I'm curious about what kind of technical progress might emerge on the efficiency side—things like the extensibility of materials, or cutting out the labor of physically cutting fabric. And if individual designers could easily output the clothing they make digitally into the real world, I think that would be even more interesting. <img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/95da5a77501a4e86b1ab94ffa8de3287/images/71c12cd91f10443a85d493385d00f641Screenshot%202026-06-11%20061827.png" alt="71c12cd91f10443a85d493385d00f641" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="71c12cd91f10443a85d493385d00f641" data-width="3440" data-height="1391">Footwear created using Marvelous Designer <img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/95da5a77501a4e86b1ab94ffa8de3287/images/85661c9daeb84e75903fbfba22789340shoes02.png" alt="85661c9daeb84e75903fbfba22789340" class="custom-image medium-size" data-id="85661c9daeb84e75903fbfba22789340" data-width="900" data-height="900"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/95da5a77501a4e86b1ab94ffa8de3287/images/3cee1bc68034426d887edc43963f92ed250308.jpg" alt="3cee1bc68034426d887edc43963f92ed" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="3cee1bc68034426d887edc43963f92ed" data-width="1600" data-height="2000">Final Visual<hr>A warm thank you to Kota Yamaji for sharing his process with the community!

Could you share a bit about your latest work, 'Girl Student'?</h1>Hello, this is Bora Kim, and I'm delighted to be back. This time, the theme of my artwork is a girl sitting in a classroom after school. The idea began with a simple desire to create a character in a school uniform. I initially considered settings like a playground or park, but ultimately, I chose a classroom for its deeper sense of nostalgia and memories.<h1>I understand that you're currently working as a character modeler, and with each piece, the background and prop details seem to be becoming more intricate. As the backgrounds become more detailed, they also encourage viewers to imagine the story behind the character. I'm curious if this is an intentional approach—do you work with the idea of how you'd like the audience to imagine the character's story?</h1>I believe many people have experienced the quietness of school after classes, the sense of relief after a day's work, and the anticipation for tomorrow. I hope that when people view this artwork, they don't just focus on the character but also find themselves reminiscing about their own childhood or feeling a sense of connection through the background and small props.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/cc0033acedaa434fa1a41d1dfb90da93/images/b353d6ef0f8f4af18e7f6046f9f5e4f5%E5%A5%B3%E5%AD%A6%E7%94%9F4.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="b353d6ef0f8f4af18e7f6046f9f5e4f5" data-width="2857" data-height="1837"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/cc0033acedaa434fa1a41d1dfb90da93/images/2ec2fcfa6f67478fab250edb22915954%E5%A5%B3%E5%AD%A6%E7%94%9F2.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="2ec2fcfa6f67478fab250edb22915954" data-width="3840" data-height="2440"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/cc0033acedaa434fa1a41d1dfb90da93/images/a6c138ca9f1449cb8709a9b7d4645463%E5%A5%B3%E5%AD%A6%E7%94%9F3.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="a6c138ca9f1449cb8709a9b7d4645463" data-width="3544" data-height="1700"><h1>From the character to the background, which aspects did you focus on while working on each element?</h1>Since the character is a student, I wanted to convey a sense of unadorned innocence, so I focused on features like light makeup, a comfortable oversized hoodie, and a neat school uniform.

For the school uniform shirt, I started with a shirt from the Marvelous Designer library as the base, fitted it to the character's body, and then created and matched the vest and skirt. To form the pleats in the skirt, I drew lines for folds both inside and outside and adjusted the Fold Angle value to create the desired shape.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/cc0033acedaa434fa1a41d1dfb90da93/images/20798cdce0a64a1daf3689b4856ce3dc%E5%A5%B3%E5%AD%A6%E7%94%9F5.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="20798cdce0a64a1daf3689b4856ce3dc" data-width="2560" data-height="1399">The hoodie required creating a 2D pattern for the shoulders, arms, and underarms that was wider than expected to achieve the oversized fit. After completing the creation, I imported the rigged animation to set various poses. Finally, I fixed one side of the hoodie to drape off the shoulder, easing the restrictive feeling of the uniform.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/cc0033acedaa434fa1a41d1dfb90da93/images/f5167050129d4fdcb7099df763154d28%E5%A5%B3%E5%AD%A6%E7%94%9F6.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="f5167050129d4fdcb7099df763154d28" data-width="2560" data-height="1399">For the curtains in the background, I first created a rod that would act as the avatar, then hung the fabric on it. Adjusting the width of the curtains made it easier to form the pleats. After that, I used the Wind Controller to simulate the effect of the thin fabric fluttering in the breeze from the window. I set up the wind in the direction it would blow, adjusted the Strength to an appropriate value, and experimented with turbulence and frequency settings until I achieved the desired look.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/cc0033acedaa434fa1a41d1dfb90da93/images/b75fefe67437459a8b85af48edd18746%E5%A5%B3%E5%AD%A6%E7%94%9F8.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="b75fefe67437459a8b85af48edd18746" data-width="2560" data-height="1399">I also created and used various other simple props.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/cc0033acedaa434fa1a41d1dfb90da93/images/6a880c4f02024691b477d190fca8d62a10.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="6a880c4f02024691b477d190fca8d62a" data-width="2560" data-height="1399"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/cc0033acedaa434fa1a41d1dfb90da93/images/3fb19a6f94eb4f2d8a970637671d779012.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="3fb19a6f94eb4f2d8a970637671d7790" data-width="2560" data-height="1399"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/cc0033acedaa434fa1a41d1dfb90da93/images/8da9a9ec60e447969e664b1598d2d3d4%E5%A5%B3%E5%AD%A6%E7%94%9F7.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="8da9a9ec60e447969e664b1598d2d3d4" data-width="2560" data-height="1399"><h1>Did you find any unique advantages of using Marvelous Designer during this project?</h1>One of the major advantages of Marvelous Designer is its ability to quickly run simulations and adjust folds when the character takes different poses or when the clothing design changes. This flexibility in correcting and exporting the folds is a significant strength. Additionally, I found it convenient to obtain a cleaned-up low-poly mesh through the ZBrush plugin.<h1>If there was an impressive story during the project, could you share it?</h1>During this project, due to personal circumstances, the working period was extended. As the seasons changed, I adjusted the school uniform design from summer to autumn attire, eventually adding a hoodie. I also changed the hairstyle from a ponytail to a half-up style, and finally to a bob cut. Although the work seemed never-ending at times, step by step, it eventually came together. Even though I felt anxious as time passed, I gained valuable insights from the trial and error, making it a worthwhile experience.Thank you for your interest in my work and for taking the time to read this.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/cc0033acedaa434fa1a41d1dfb90da93/images/c348616f2aee45e1a5612921477f76c513.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="c348616f2aee45e1a5612921477f76c5" data-width="3840" data-height="2440"><h1>by&nbsp;Bora Kim <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.artstation.com/bbora">Artstation</a></h1>
