Artist Introduction</h1>My name is Lura, an artist primarily active in VRChat, where I engage in world creation, art direction, modeling, and asset sales. I specialize in creating 3DCG spaces that operate in real-time, designing living spaces and event venues for video games and VR. After graduating from Musashino Art University, I began my creative activities in VRChat while working in the game industry. After gaining experience creating architectural assets and gimmicks for events such as Virtual Market and ShaderFes, I became a freelancer in 2023. I currently operate under the name “QuickBrown Design Studio.”<hr><h1>2. Art Direction and Visual Style</h1>A representative example of my work is "Luminous Hotel," which was designed around the theme of a luxury hotel space, intended to be comfortable for extended stays. This world also includes many pleasant gimmicks.For "Floating Airship," which has been visited by over 2.8 million people, I used cloth extensively to create a soft and relaxing atmosphere. I aimed for a design that would feel reassuring in VR, as like to “remove the sharp edges.”I am always conscious of creating "a space that doesn't become uncomfortable even after spending a long time." I am particularly focusing on lighting, to emphasize a calm atmosphere. In VR, users can observe objects at very close range, so I finish my work with a level of precision that avoids any sense of uneasiness.<hr><h1>3. Production Pipeline and Techniques Using Marvelous Designer</h1>[Use Case in World Creation: Floating Airship]<ol><li>Importing the World Mesh Since Marvelous Designer allows the creator to import existing world meshes as they are, I imported the space from "Floating Airship" to work with.

Image of cloth and futons being placed in the space with physics <img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202510/78f7f40b240a49019ba8dad9d0f81325/images/5c68f2cc459c499390d8224b25f2ea811-1.jpg" alt="5c68f2cc459c499390d8224b25f2ea81" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="5c68f2cc459c499390d8224b25f2ea81" data-width="2086" data-height="1395"></li><li>Completed Form In the completed space, the cloth arrangement enhanced the overall atmosphere of the space, resulting in a comfortable and inviting environment. <img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202510/78f7f40b240a49019ba8dad9d0f81325/images/941bb29c89eb494d982cd8a43cab5ce51-3.jpg" alt="941bb29c89eb494d982cd8a43cab5ce5" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="941bb29c89eb494d982cd8a43cab5ce5" data-width="2896" data-height="4096"></li></ol><hr><h1>[Use Case in Asset Creation: Backpack]</h1><ol><li>Modeling in Marvelous Designer I created a backpack asset using Marvelous Designer. On Marvelous Designer, it's possible to make precise adjustments as if inflating it with air, which allows for the expression of a natural silhouette that looks like it's packed with items. I did not add thickness at this stage, which I exported directly to Blender.

Rounding the corners of patterns in Marvelous Designer tends to complicate the topology, so I run QuadRemesher on it while it's still a flat plane to ensure a clean topology. Afterward, I use the Solidify modifier to add thickness where needed.

Specifically, unwrap the thickness parts to be "straight."</li><li>Advantage: This allows curvature and edge maps to work cleanly, making it possible to naturally add dirt in the seams or wear on the corners. Straightening the thickness parts also prevents distortion during painting.

Therefore, for UV2, I unwrap them as continuously as possible. A little stretching is acceptable as it tends to look natural in the final lighting. UV2 (Unwrap with cloth faces and side parts connected) </li></ul></li></ul><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202510/78f7f40b240a49019ba8dad9d0f81325/images/8ca7dadbada440eabf79f2fc4731ab042-5.png" alt="8ca7dadbada440eabf79f2fc4731ab04" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="8ca7dadbada440eabf79f2fc4731ab04" data-width="1920" data-height="1080"><hr><ol start="4"><li>Texturing (Substance Painter) By carefully unwrapping UV1, the curvature map functions correctly.

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!

Having graduated in visual design, I started working professionally as a UI/UX designer and simultaneously started dabbling in the world of 3D art. I was always fascinated by 3D animated movies and games from an early age and wondered how the artists brought such breathtaking worlds to life. Soon this awe turned into a strong desire to try illustrating in 3D myself, so I slowly started exploring sculpting objects and characters in various 3D software and have never looked back since. Being self-taught has its challenges, but my love for 3D makes me want to explore and learn something new daily.<h1>What inspires you as an artist?</h1>Visualizing the characters' backstories- their likes, dislikes, occupation, hobbies, etc.- is one of my favorite processes in creating artwork. These backstories shape up the character, quite literally. I sculpt, texture, and light my illustrations, which I enjoy and have fun with.&nbsp; As I mentioned, I love to tell unique stories through my artwork and strive to make my scenes and characters as expressive as possible. I aspire to create art that can be seen, enjoyed, and experienced by all, and that inspires me and keeps me going.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/b41b2b949aa5485b9dc51e7b8e7202bf/images/4bbc60571b1748868405c1c0aa610431till2.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="4bbc60571b1748868405c1c0aa610431" data-width="1432" data-height="1080"><h1>How would you describe your artwork stylistically?</h1>I want to describe my art as more “stylized” than realistic. Although I like to encapsulate and add real-world details into my pieces, my art style would definitely fall more into the cartoon / stylized domain.<h1>What is the story behind the piece?</h1>This piece is about a beautiful, mysterious woman who charms her lovers and leads them into perfidious situations. I have always wanted to create a villainous character, but I wanted to avoid the obvious visual cues that are generally used to depict a villain or an evil character. So I tried to explore and push the style and tried to depict the corrupt motives of the character using facial form and expressions. Everything about the character, including her beautiful features and gorgeous clothes, contrasts her dark, murderous personality.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/b41b2b949aa5485b9dc51e7b8e7202bf/images/4a18cfb0ff9f44799762dcf264989aa2till3.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="4a18cfb0ff9f44799762dcf264989aa2" data-width="1080" data-height="1350"><h1>What is this character? Are they a part of a larger story?</h1>Yes, it is a part of a larger story. The main character is a beautiful, mysterious woman who charms her lovers and leads them into perfidious situations. In this one, she is in her wedding gown and looks like someone who has just accomplished what she had set out for. The apple, with the green glow, is a poisoned apple, and the fact that one bite has been taken from it signifies that she has just turned her latest prey into her victim.<h1>How does the garment contribute to the storytelling?</h1>The garment is the most significant part of the story. The witch’s preys are wealthy but asinine men who fall for her beauty and ignore all the warning signs. She feeds off such men to further her wicked motives. Her usual method is, making the men fall head over heels in love with her, marrying her, and then slaughtering them on her wedding night. A poisoned apple is her choice of weapon. The witch is swift and clean and leaves no traces once she has made her kill. The poisoned apple makes it easy and leaves no mess. The beautiful gown conveys that she is either just married or about to get married. The style indicates an older time period. The gorgeous gown shows her sophisticated taste and gives clues about her personality. In this piece with no background, the garment is an excellent indicator to hint at the character and the story.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/b41b2b949aa5485b9dc51e7b8e7202bf/images/31ba9a6d582a4936b43d1f3323c4ee95till4.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="31ba9a6d582a4936b43d1f3323c4ee95" data-width="1080" data-height="1350"><h1>Where did you use Marvelous Designer on this piece?&nbsp;</h1>The complete gown and the veil have been created using Marvelous Designer.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/b41b2b949aa5485b9dc51e7b8e7202bf/images/2fcf11f762df4732ae536d2221acb81dtill5.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="2fcf11f762df4732ae536d2221acb81d" data-width="936" data-height="1253"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/b41b2b949aa5485b9dc51e7b8e7202bf/images/c64efc6c33484bf59e7c0984e0d93306till6.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="c64efc6c33484bf59e7c0984e0d93306" data-width="936" data-height="1253"><h1>Why is Marvelous Designer the best choice for digital apparel creation?</h1>Marvelous Designer allowed me to experiment with digital clothing patterns and different styles for the outfit. The garment easily forming (from) just 2D patterns helped me visualize how the final piece would look. The cloth simulations helped with capturing the flow of the garment accurately. It’s a very intuitive tool to work with. Creating this garment with any other tool wouldn’t have been so simple.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/b41b2b949aa5485b9dc51e7b8e7202bf/images/dc2b4395e14e457888c13ca985b8c4e8till8.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="dc2b4395e14e457888c13ca985b8c4e8" data-width="2048" data-height="1152"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/b41b2b949aa5485b9dc51e7b8e7202bf/images/60a5dab2491f462eb9c7081ad30719detill9.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="60a5dab2491f462eb9c7081ad30719de" data-width="2048" data-height="1152"><h1>What were the ups &amp; downs in creating this piece?</h1>I am relatively new to Marvelous Designer software. I have used it before, but not as intensively as in this piece. Figuring out the 2D patterns and stitching the pieces together was one of the process’s most difficult parts since I had minimal sewing knowledge. That was challenging, but seeing your digital garment simulate and drape over your character perfectly was extremely rewarding.<h1>Can you share any tips and tricks with Marvelous Designer with the community?</h1>Finalizing the dress design and the pattern and having a clear vision of what design I wanted to go with helped me a lot throughout the process and made the process much faster. The abundant tutorials and videos made available by Marvelous Designer helped me a great deal while creating this piece. Instead of following one tutorial step by step, having a vision and finding answers to questions helps a lot while learning any new tool.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/b41b2b949aa5485b9dc51e7b8e7202bf/images/b1b358d706704ba9b44822dcee73b24ftill10.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="b1b358d706704ba9b44822dcee73b24f" data-width="1920" data-height="1080"><h1>What new things did you learn on this project that you might want to share?</h1>I consider myself relatively new to the software, so I learned a great deal while working on this piece. Learning how to break up the garment correctly into pieces, stitch them up, and how to have fabrics layered one on top of the other without making them interact/collapse into one another is something I learned. Although I did not use this in the end piece, I also learned how to add animation to your avatar and make the garment respond after being draped on the T pose to the final pose of the avatar along with its interaction with the background elements is something I had fun exploring too.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/b41b2b949aa5485b9dc51e7b8e7202bf/images/53856a0e65f548c1ad424789ca0219d9till11.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="53856a0e65f548c1ad424789ca0219d9" data-width="5333" data-height="5333"><h1>What were some unexpected outcomes that occurred while working on this?</h1>I started this piece feeling extremely overwhelmed and intimidated, thinking of the task’s complexity. But the process felt very intuitive, and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I started exploring a lot of fashion trends and tweaked my pose and character a bit so it matched and showed off the garment.&nbsp;Suppose you're looking for a powerful design software for creating digital garments that's easy to use.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Ilya Zakharovskiy, In Wanderer: The Fragments of Fate, created realistic tents and fabric structures with Marvelous Designer. It enabled high-density cloth simulations with natural folds, eliminating the need for manual sculpting. The clean, UV-ready meshes streamlined the workflow, saving time in Maya and enhancing texture detailing in Substance Painter.</h2><h1 style="text-align: center"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202507/356e2771a70e4d6c88ab87892452a6d2/images/7b58ff7056eb49eaaa88186fcb30a539ilya-zakharovskiy-spanishtentlarge.jpg" alt="7b58ff7056eb49eaaa88186fcb30a539" class="custom-image medium-size" data-id="7b58ff7056eb49eaaa88186fcb30a539" data-width="3820" data-height="2160"> Interview with <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.artstation.com/zumwolt">Ilya Zakharovskiy</a> | 3D Environment &amp; Vehicle Artist</h1><h1>Artist Introduction &amp; Project Insights</h1>Hello! My name is Ilya, I'm a 3D Environment and vehicle artist from Auckland, New Zealand. I also love the Concept design of vehicles, props, weapons, and futuristic environments. Recently, I've been working on the project Wanderer: The Fragments of Fate, a VR quest adventure game released on multiple platforms. In this article, I'm going to talk about the workflow of using Marvelous Designer in Environment art for games.<h1>Pipeline Overview</h1>A little bit of story first. In Wanderer: The Fragments of Fate, the ability to travel in time sends the player to ancient Mayan Civilization when the Spanish Empire was continuing its conquest of the Americas. Spanish conquistadors used a large variety of tents and movable shelters in their camps. In order to create them, I used Marvelous Designer in my pipeline, along with my other tools such as Maya, Marmoset Toolbag, Substance Painter, and Photoshop.At the beginning, we started with a simple blockout to get shapes and sizes right for the player in VR. When it was done, I made a fabric layout for future tents and canopies in Maya, keeping the proper UV layout to use as a pattern in Marvelous Designer. At this stage, it is important to already know how many texture sets you will be able to use; in my case, it was 2 texture sets for an entire camp, including large fabric parts and little dressing details. I've made a kit of future tents by making unique parts only, they will be duplicated later.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202507/356e2771a70e4d6c88ab87892452a6d2/images/1be98c256ffd45628f05bf57053b0499Screenshot_2.jpg" alt="1be98c256ffd45628f05bf57053b0499" class="custom-image large-size" data-id="1be98c256ffd45628f05bf57053b0499" data-width="2147" data-height="1245"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202507/356e2771a70e4d6c88ab87892452a6d2/images/393d981a0ad146ffbbaea83dccaf4fb0Screenshot_3.jpg" alt="393d981a0ad146ffbbaea83dccaf4fb0" class="custom-image large-size" data-id="393d981a0ad146ffbbaea83dccaf4fb0" data-width="2147" data-height="1242">In Marvelous Designer, I've made cloth simulation with high mesh density, to keep all of those fabric foldings natural, without sculpting anything later. In a result I've got two sets of meshes, low and high poly. The next step was creating a UV layout and adding details such as ropes, cones, and wood poles in Maya. Because on the output from Marvelous Designer, you got clean meshes with already unwrapped UV's, we can skip the geometry cleaning and UV unwrapping in Maya, which saves us some time.Now it's is baking and texturing stage. I've added patterns, seams and stitches, alongside with fabric micro details in Substance Painter. I love this stage, it's like a rendering, you already see the final result.The final stage is the assembly of a variety of tents and canopies in Maya, using premade parts. Here, I need to create collision models and lightmaps to use them in the Engine. And then, everything is imported and set up in Unreal Engine, and it's ready to be placed across the map.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202507/356e2771a70e4d6c88ab87892452a6d2/images/bfc7ff3608df41edaf92d4d981dc8bd8Canopy_wireframe_01_FullQuality_002.jpg" alt="bfc7ff3608df41edaf92d4d981dc8bd8" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="bfc7ff3608df41edaf92d4d981dc8bd8" data-width="3840" data-height="2160"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202507/356e2771a70e4d6c88ab87892452a6d2/images/4fe5954bcde54a82bbc531571e180883Select%20a%20file%20name%20for%20output%20files.jpg" alt="4fe5954bcde54a82bbc531571e180883" class="custom-image large-size" data-id="4fe5954bcde54a82bbc531571e180883" data-width="3840" data-height="2160"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202507/356e2771a70e4d6c88ab87892452a6d2/images/11dac1be54d845c3a0bff1c9b8e6b845Tent_02.jpg" alt="11dac1be54d845c3a0bff1c9b8e6b845" class="custom-image large-size" data-id="11dac1be54d845c3a0bff1c9b8e6b845" data-width="3820" data-height="2160"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202507/356e2771a70e4d6c88ab87892452a6d2/images/22b2e4405b2446338fe1af0fb74752dfTent_01.jpg" alt="22b2e4405b2446338fe1af0fb74752df" class="custom-image large-size" data-id="22b2e4405b2446338fe1af0fb74752df" data-width="3820" data-height="2160"><h1><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202507/356e2771a70e4d6c88ab87892452a6d2/images/a1a4ee19830946c696c0ec81888c77a5Screenshot_4.jpg" alt="a1a4ee19830946c696c0ec81888c77a5" class="custom-image large-size" data-id="a1a4ee19830946c696c0ec81888c77a5" data-width="2171" data-height="1096"> Tips for Fellow Artists</h1>Sometimes it's better to create a main cloth simulation in Marvelous Designer and add micro details such as folds and torn in Zbrush. If your fabric components will be attached to some other hard parts, it's better to make them in your 3D package (3DsMax, Maya, Blender, etc.) and import them into Marvelous to keep the connection precise.<h1>Future Plans</h1>It is not the first time I'm using Marvelous Designer in my workflow. Previously, I've used it for environment art and concept design often. Marvelous is part of my main toolset, and I'm going to use it again soon, in my project.<h1>Overall Experience</h1>In this article, I've described the process of creating tents and canopies, but I used Marvelous for multiple assets during the development of Wanderer: The Fragments of Fate. Certainly, Marvelous Designer saves a lot of time when working with cloth simulation and provides the best result. It is easy to use reliable software.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202507/356e2771a70e4d6c88ab87892452a6d2/images/607179df353f4c6399e9bd09b1077f93ilya-zakharovskiy-spanishtentmedium.jpg" alt="607179df353f4c6399e9bd09b1077f93" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="607179df353f4c6399e9bd09b1077f93" data-width="3820" data-height="2160"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202507/356e2771a70e4d6c88ab87892452a6d2/images/c5170a71bba54c3199bc2a7309c62a54ilya-zakharovskiy-spanishtentsmall.jpg" alt="c5170a71bba54c3199bc2a7309c62a54" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="c5170a71bba54c3199bc2a7309c62a54" data-width="3820" data-height="2160"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202507/356e2771a70e4d6c88ab87892452a6d2/images/b18a3a47130e4043bd6945485b73a6d3ilya-zakharovskiy-spanishcanopy.jpg" alt="b18a3a47130e4043bd6945485b73a6d3" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="b18a3a47130e4043bd6945485b73a6d3" data-width="3820" data-height="1857"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202507/356e2771a70e4d6c88ab87892452a6d2/images/a2fa836b85034c9080e9c9e46e77ec0ailya-zakharovskiy-spanishtentmedium.jpg" class="custom-image hidden-thumbnail" data-id="a2fa836b85034c9080e9c9e46e77ec0a" data-width="2012" data-height="2012">
