I've always loved graphics in games and videos since I was young, with a particular interest in game art. This naturally led me to study 3D art and eventually enter the gaming industry.</p><p></p><h1><strong>Could you describe a recent project you've worked on in detail?</strong></h1><p>I strive to experiment with various new styles in my work. In my most recent project, I designed a female character deviating from the usual game style by using Marvelous Designer to create modern clothing. I took inspiration from fashion shows and various products to create the outfits.</p><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/f685869281f04d8c8b5bf73bf0a6f34b/images/e73d6fa3463f41b096585a87a5f6d1c09b157cba959742689bf094ee08cb2499.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="e73d6fa3463f41b096585a87a5f6d1c0" data-width="4447" data-height="4096"><p></p><h1><strong>The details of your work are impressive. What efforts did you make to depict the realistic folds?</strong></h1><p>The top the character is wearing has multiple folds on the front, unlike a regular shirt. I considered the spacing and creases of the folds and crafted it to show a shoulder-down style, ensuring the folds along the arm were aesthetically pleasing yet not too long.</p><p>For the skirt design, which is high-waisted and has few folds, I aimed to express the material and the folds created by the zigzag lacing up to the waist.</p><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/f685869281f04d8c8b5bf73bf0a6f34b/images/ba70dbaf6b32462a8d42c7cf0a0904409bd7b6c7b2dc458580d4c1fe339e5312.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="ba70dbaf6b32462a8d42c7cf0a090440" data-width="2559" data-height="1440"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/f685869281f04d8c8b5bf73bf0a6f34b/images/600bccc4788146fe8f4a50aaf880a7013ef634029ecd471fb505f98016696371.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="600bccc4788146fe8f4a50aaf880a701" data-width="3840" data-height="2037"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/f685869281f04d8c8b5bf73bf0a6f34b/images/0334a26bc0e943058b668c88a77b63abb731135be96f452fbe522dc6cb8dc682.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="0334a26bc0e943058b668c88a77b63ab" data-width="3840" data-height="2038"><p></p><p>For the skirt design, which is high-waisted and has few folds, I aimed to express the material and the folds created by the zigzag lacing up to the waist.</p><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/f685869281f04d8c8b5bf73bf0a6f34b/images/9c43e9ad59314c62b7438418c898688e2f65046c989d4dfb856233c8cc167700.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="9c43e9ad59314c62b7438418c898688e" data-width="3840" data-height="2040"><p></p><h1><strong>Why did you decide to use Marvelous Designer, and how has it helped with art direction?</strong></h1><p>I first encountered Marvelous Designer around seven years ago while creating ribbons, curtains, and fabric movements for props. Even though these were simple tasks, I was very satisfied with how much faster and more intuitive it was compared to other cloth simulations I had used. Gradually, I started creating simpler garments like T-shirts and pants, and as I gained more experience, I found it easier to make clothes.</p><p></p><h1><strong>When working on a project, there are likely parts you enjoy the most and others that are challenging. Which stage of the process do you find the most enjoyable?</strong></h1><p>While I enjoy the modeling process, I find the most fun in texturing. After finishing the modeling, imagining the final output, and experimenting with different colors and textures feels like painting on a blank canvas, which I find very enjoyable.</p><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202412/f685869281f04d8c8b5bf73bf0a6f34b/images/13c3e120bb494277ae5223c8e1987b7cf6a7e41b4388450097b3379aaeda5617.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="13c3e120bb494277ae5223c8e1987b7c" data-width="1975" data-height="1351"><p></p><h1><strong>What is the most challenging aspect of your projects?</strong></h1><p>The most challenging part is when the silhouette of the garment doesn't turn out as expected after applying the 2D patterns to the avatar. With each new clothing item I create, I realize there's still so much to learn as I continue researching and studying.</p><p></p><h1><strong>Lastly, do you have any advice for beginners starting in 3D art, whether career advice or mindset tips for creating artwork?</strong></h1><p>In the beginning, there are many tools to learn and the workflow can seem complex, leading to a lot of contemplation. Even if you feel you're progressing slower than others, keep at it with enthusiasm and patience. If you continue creating with passion and step-by-step dedication, you will definitely see good results. Thank you.</p><p></p><p></p><h1><span style="font-family: Arial"><strong><em>by&nbsp;Bora Kim</em></strong></span><br><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.artstation.com/bbora"><span style="font-family: Arial"><strong><em>ArtStation</em></strong></span></a></h1>
