That curiosity first led me into 3D concept art, and eventually into game art, where I found the perfect space to combine imagination, storytelling, and technical creation.Now, as an indie developer, I focus on building my own worlds, places that feel alive and carry emotion through design.What motivates me the most is the idea of inspiring others — to show that even as a single artist, it’s possible to bring your vision to life and maybe spark the same motivation in someone else. Art and games have always given me strength; I hope what I create can give a little of that back.<h1>How did you use Marvelous Designer in the artwork?</h1>In this project, which I worked on while I was part of Big Medium Small, the concept by Kay Tang depicted a world where people live side by side with water — everything around them is shaped by moisture, wind, and time.To capture that feeling, I used Marvelous Designer to create all the fabric-related elements in the scene: rice sacks piled on boats, tarps stretched over wooden surfaces, and scattered pieces of worn cloth.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202510/db9eacf6ce2740f5b4f89940d0548bee/images/0ad81cd60e5a48cd97083e472a1e9322ufuk-karapicak-bms-watervillage-43.jpg" alt="0ad81cd60e5a48cd97083e472a1e9322" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="0ad81cd60e5a48cd97083e472a1e9322" data-width="1920" data-height="1077"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202510/db9eacf6ce2740f5b4f89940d0548bee/images/c25f93ac1fa74274bd2e6d6889452c2cimage%20%289%29.png" alt="c25f93ac1fa74274bd2e6d6889452c2c" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="c25f93ac1fa74274bd2e6d6889452c2c" data-width="2203" data-height="1248"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202510/db9eacf6ce2740f5b4f89940d0548bee/images/2382de218c8a4626bb97eadedff5a51dufuk-karapicak-bms-watervillage-7.jpg" alt="2382de218c8a4626bb97eadedff5a51d" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="2382de218c8a4626bb97eadedff5a51d" data-width="1920" data-height="1077">Each fabric had to feel lived in, not just physically accurate, but emotionally believable.I imagined how these people might have reused the same materials over years; some fabrics looked freshly replaced, while others carried dirt, folds, and wear from long use.Marvelous Designer allowed me to express those subtle differences with real motion and natural imperfections.Sculpting them by hand wouldn’t have captured that sense of history — Marvelous let me design through movement, as if I were watching the fabrics live in the world I was creating.<h1>Why did you decide to use Marvelous Designer? How did it help you serve art direction?</h1>I chose Marvelous Designer for this project because it combines precision with creativity in a way that no other tool does. &nbsp;Over the years, I’ve realized how much freedom it gives me — not only to simulate cloth accurately, but to design through simulation. &nbsp;It naturally encourages a procedural mindset— I’m not just modeling shapes, I’m discovering them through motion, gravity, and tension. &nbsp;That way of working keeps the creative process fluid and open to new ideas.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202510/db9eacf6ce2740f5b4f89940d0548bee/images/372bb59554e34975844bf1410f98ec33image%20%2853%29.png" alt="372bb59554e34975844bf1410f98ec33" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="372bb59554e34975844bf1410f98ec33" data-width="1600" data-height="1069">One of the biggest advantages for me is how easily I can respond to feedback. &nbsp;Marvelous Designer allows extremely fast iteration — I can test, adjust, and see the results almost instantly, which makes the art direction process much more organic. &nbsp;It helps me focus on form, proportion, and flow rather than getting stuck in technical constraints.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202510/db9eacf6ce2740f5b4f89940d0548bee/images/600f3247e6f2428bbb59a7f82ca736c2image%20%2857%29.png" alt="600f3247e6f2428bbb59a7f82ca736c2"

when the fabric behaves unexpectedly but beautifully. &nbsp;Those moments often inspire new artistic directions. &nbsp;Marvelous Designer gives me both speed and depth: I can work like a designer, but think like a storyteller. &nbsp;That balance is what keeps me using it in every project.<h1>Do you have any other projects that you have worked on using Marvelous Designer that you can share with us?</h1><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202510/db9eacf6ce2740f5b4f89940d0548bee/images/c708beb932744196b642a04d8c89229bufuk-karapicak-mysticscene-low.jpg"

Marvelous Designer for years in my concept art and illustration work. &nbsp;I often built 3D blockouts, draped clothes on Daz3D models or my own rigs, and painted over them. &nbsp;It helped me quickly find shapes and silhouettes that felt alive — almost like painting in 3D. &nbsp;Those experiments taught me how much Marvelous Designer could serve creativity, not just realism.<img

explore it much more deeply — using advanced simulations, complex setups, and character-based storytelling.<h1>Can you give us a quick overview of the different tools used in your pipeline?</h1>In most of my 3D projects, I use Marvelous Designer, Blender, ZBrush, Substance Painter, and Substance Designer as my main tools. &nbsp;There isn’t always a fixed order — I follow the general workflow you’d expect, but I also move between programs depending on what the project needs.If I’m creating an illustration, I sometimes use Daz3D for quick posing, or I rig and animate directly in Blender. &nbsp;I often export certain poses from Blender into Marvelous Designer to run different fabric simulations, then bring the results back into Blender for rendering. &nbsp;In some cases, I even turn the fabrics I make in Marvelous Designer into brush alphas for sculpting in ZBrush or texturing in Substance Painter.I really enjoy this fluid workflow because it lets me use each software for what it does best — Marvelous Designer for believable forms and motion, ZBrush for detail, Substance for materials, and Blender or Unreal for lighting and presentation.<h1>Are there any tips and tricks with Marvelous Designer that you can share with the community?</h1><img

for beginners.When I first started using Marvelous Designer, I was honestly scared of breaking things.I kept my designs very simple and avoided pushing the simulation too far.But later, I began to experiment more — I exaggerated folds, pushed the limits of the simulation, and stopped worrying about being “correct.”That’s when I truly started to learn.Marvelous Designer became much more fun and expressive once I let go of that fear.I hope this helps someone who’s just starting out — don’t be afraid to play with it. That’s how you discover what makes it powerful.<h1><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.artstation.com/cubesugar">Artstation</a></h1>

Lo que empezó como el software de mi Máster en Moda Digital y Avatares se ha convertido en el idioma con el que pienso el diseño.Este es el primer post de una serie en la que voy a compartir el proceso completo de mi TFM: GS70, una colección de moda digital inspirada en el béisbol femenino y en los años 70. Seis looks, 2 avatares personalizados en DAZ Studio, entornos en Blender, tejidos desarrollados en Substance Sampler y, en el centro de todo, CLO3D como herramienta principal de construcción de prendas.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/0426208b538549909d801a059154c1be/images/642859b808be4cd6bb7dc54640c78befPORTADA_cabecera.png" alt="642859b808be4cd6bb7dc54640c78bef" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="642859b808be4cd6bb7dc54640c78bef" data-width="1701" data-height="1026">Pero no voy a hablar solo del resultado. Quiero contaros el proceso real: los errores, los workarounds, lo que descubrí por accidente y lo que tardé semanas en entender.Porque creo que la comunidad hispanohablante de CLO necesita más voz. Más gente compartiendo flujos de trabajo en castellano, más referentes, más conversación técnica.Bienvenidos a GS70. Esto es solo el principio.<div data-youtube-video="" style="padding:56.25% 0 0 0; position:relative;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ev-E2Q_dEp8?si=7ZfTBIt6-zTuvH81" 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>TIP CLO del post: Empieza con el avatar correctoAntes de hacer el patrón, define el avatar. En GS70 usé avatares de DAZ Studio exportados a FBX e importados en CLO.Asegúrate de que el avatar está en T-pose o A-pose antes de la importación (yo lo hago con "Autoconvertir en Avatar") y no olvides revisar el cabello, para que CLO pueda importarlo debes activar la teselación (yo suelo usar un valor de 2). ¡Ah! Si dentro de CLO no ves las cejas selecciona todo el avatar y pon la opacidad al máximo. Al aumentar la opacidad seguramente los ojos serán completamente blancos, no te preocupes, selecciona las zonas blancas y baja la opacidad.Exporta todos los mapas del Avatar, no sólo los que DAZ empaqueta, tendrás que buscarlos y hacerlo a mano pero valdrá la pena.<hr><h1 style="text-align: center">¿Tienes alguna duda?</h1>¡Gracias por tu tiempo!
