An Overview of CLO 3D Fashion Design Software

CLO is 3D costume design software that reproduces the actual costume-making process. In typical 3D modeling software such as Maya or Max, the surface of the 3D mesh is sculpted to create a costume. CLO, on the other hand, creates 2D pattern pieces and sews them to create 3D costumes.

With over 10 years of extensive research and development and a comprehensive portfolio of enterprise-wide adoptions, CLO Virtual Fashion, LLC provides the best solutions for companies of all shapes and sizes.

Let’s explore CLO 3D Fashion Design with iRender in this article. 

CLO’s robust Simulation engine allows you to create a style with countless layers and intricate details. Design a variety of garments, from a simple blouse to technical outerwear with complicated pattern pieces and construction. CLO is not only limited to garment design. Create anything constructed with fabric, including hats, bags, wallets, lingerie, swimsuit, and more.

Instantly review changes as any modifications to 2D patterns, colors, textures and finishing details are immediately simulated. Improve quality of designs by checking silhouette and fit sooner in the development process, allowing sample time for refinement before finalization.

Visualize your designs with only a few clicks! Users at any skill level or specialty can easily become familiar with our simple and intuitive interface. Learn how to use CLO online with regularly updated tutorial videos and resources.

Reduce design preparation time and dive into the design process right away with prepared blocks. Quickly sketch new designs directly on your Avatar and automatically generate pattern pieces

CLO can accurately emulate drape-sensitive fabrics such as lightweight wovens and jerseys with various material properties. Access CLO’s comprehensive library of commonly used fabrics to immediately see design ideas. Finishing techniques, such as facings, seam tape, and steam can be applied and removed as needed to fine-tune the fit of 3D garments.

Explore endless possibilities at zero cost with the ability to create unlimited graphic placements, colorways, and engineered print layouts. Eliminate unnecessary physical sampling and shipping costs by seeing all changes immediately on 3D samples. Get ahead of the costing process by finalizing styles far ahead of regular production lead times.

Display your 3D garments in numerous ways with our natural Simulation environment. Fold and hang 3D garments to create retail environments, and review the big picture by merchandising your collection.
