Graduated from the MJM graphic design in Nantes (France). I work today with an Italian advertising company where I model, texture and animate clothes. While learning 3D I fell in love with dress modelling, especially historical. It probably comes from my passion for history and sewing.<h1>Can you give us a quick overview of the different tools used in your pipeline?</h1>For this project, I wanted to make a beautiful dress, worthy of a throne room. with embroidery and above all lots of ribbons to make it as realistic as possible.&nbsp;Like all historical clothing, I started with the petticoat and the chemise. They are important so I added details in several places.&nbsp;<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/2effd6bc63a14256a0477d2740845d77/images/f6a671886f3042db838dc355198f0acbdress2.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="f6a671886f3042db838dc355198f0acb" data-width="1222" data-height="817">I started with a simple pattern (like Mérida in Brave) but added a lot of details: ribbon, gilding, belt, rope, pleated blouse, lace petticoat, etc... The most complicated thing was to play with the layers to that the different linings overlap correctly, especially with the skirt pulled up in one place with a pin.&nbsp;<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/2effd6bc63a14256a0477d2740845d77/images/ae8cd15065b041eab705f859f9a642c3dress3.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="ae8cd15065b041eab705f859f9a642c3" data-width="1215" data-height="820">I love long sleeves! It was an obligation for me to do so. But the length of the fabrics and especially the linings was difficult to set up. I had to play with layers and fabrics.&nbsp;I used the standard software avatar. I knew it would only be a "support" for the dress, so I didn't take the time to deal with it. I edited and animated it with Mixamo and Cinema 4D.It was a great challenge with all those ribbons and carnations! especially the direction of the ribbon (one below one above). I had to play with the fabric, its rigidity and its length (which adapts to the morphology of the character) but I'm happy with the result!&nbsp;<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/2effd6bc63a14256a0477d2740845d77/images/422f6bfce9fb4bb5985de5ea0516bcc3dress4.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="422f6bfce9fb4bb5985de5ea0516bcc3" data-width="1163" data-height="769">Above all, in this kind of dress, you must never forget the shirring. They are very important, especially with a slightly transparent fabric like voile. It is the detail that makes the dress more realistic.<h1>How can you describe your overall experience of the use of the Marvelous Designer?</h1>I use this software every day for my work, as well as my personal use and I am very proud of it! Marvelous Designer has enormous potential. I'm sure there are still tools that I don't know about, despite my extensive research online. I like the different types of fabrics and their different animation! it makes our creations really realistic.<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.artstation.com/artwork/LeV1ZK">Artstation</a>

Creator’s Contest 2025 vol.3 : FANTASY ARCHIVES

Like petals carried by the tide, these garments float freely over the water, catching the last golden rays of the sunset. Each piece drifts as if it has its own rhythm, a delicate dance between fabric and sea. This moment celebrates the ephemerality of beauty — fashion becoming part of nature, dissolving into light, water, and movement. A serene ode to freedom, flow, and timeless elegance. 🌊 Fabrics adrift, golden light on water, and a sunset that turns fashion into poetry ✨🌅<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202508/532b44e625734577be70b8183a98b1db/images/5723c3087a17444184df924fa5fa168bfrontal20006.png" alt="5723c3087a17444184df924fa5fa168b" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="5723c3087a17444184df924fa5fa168b" data-width="1440" data-height="2560"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202508/532b44e625734577be70b8183a98b1db/images/f6af6b687d1a40ee8a480304e95a47a0lateral0036.png" alt="f6af6b687d1a40ee8a480304e95a47a0" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="f6af6b687d1a40ee8a480304e95a47a0" data-width="1440" data-height="2560"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202508/532b44e625734577be70b8183a98b1db/images/bd5a2138d7c84dbe830c9dc836a53534lateral0291.png" alt="bd5a2138d7c84dbe830c9dc836a53534" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="bd5a2138d7c84dbe830c9dc836a53534" data-width="1440" data-height="2560"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202508/532b44e625734577be70b8183a98b1db/images/c3c793c19a9f46dc861b695bb45366d0zoom0597.png" alt="c3c793c19a9f46dc861b695bb45366d0" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="c3c793c19a9f46dc861b695bb45366d0" data-width="1440" data-height="2560"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202508/532b44e625734577be70b8183a98b1db/images/136696265db74828a819f16f439bad72zoom0065.png" alt="136696265db74828a819f16f439bad72" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="136696265db74828a819f16f439bad72" data-width="1440" data-height="2560">

🌊 Floating Dreams 🌊

Hi CLO Team,Since the CLO 2024 version, I’ve noticed that after every update, some of my favorite fabrics, topstitches, and normal maps disappear. Even the list of fabric physical properties becomes smaller. This just happened again after the latest update.Interestingly, this only happens on my MacBook — on my iMac (2017) I still have all the old fabrics and assets, including V1 and basic fabrics. My friend updated too and also lost her V1 and basic fabrics. This suggests the files might still exist, but CLO isn’t reading from the same library location after updates.I really enjoy seeing the library grow, but it’s a bit frustrating to lose the older items we rely on. It would be wonderful if future updates could keep all previous assets while adding new ones — or at least give users an option to retain older libraries.Issue Summary:<ul><li>Missing fabrics, topstitches, and normal maps after every update since CLO 2024.</li><li>Fabric physical properties list is reduced.</li><li>Problem occurs on MacBook, but iMac 2017 retains all assets.</li><li>Friend updating also lost all V1 and basic fabrics.</li><li>Suggests files exist but library path or update process prevents CLO from reading them.</li><li>Request: Keep all previous assets intact while adding new ones in future updates.</li></ul>Thanks so much for your hard work and for creating such a great tool — I truly appreciate the effort you put into supporting designers!Best regards,Vida
