    Crazy how the first time I started my research on design applications Browzwear did not come up. CLO3d was something I was eager to learn and I’ve been creating non stop ever since. I don’t have any background in FashionDesign school but I love fashion and creating ideas. My partner and I have a handbag line coming soon. 🙏🏽🙌🏽 thanks for the video! ❤️

    With Clo3D I find it’s easier to do pattern cutting from a fitted sloper then using the flattening tool, just for accuracy. I spent so much time correcting in software. All the lines become so obscured especially on my plussize avatars it’s a lot testing, measuring, and walking the patterns. I really want to use these softwares to help make it cheaper for me to do production for my small brand. I find I still have to develop base patterns physically and send it to a grader.

      @@alexyarally Yes, Browzwear is used a lot more in corporate by Tech Designers. And agree, much more emphasis on accuracy while Clo feels much more like a designer's program where you can just freely create. Browzwear still gives you an amazing rendering, but you definitely need to understand patternmaking a lot more to get to the final result.

    Hi Mikelle, When you made this video (last year) Browzwear didn't have a "freehand" tool like CLO where you can draw on the Avatar and have a pattern created automatically. They seem to have something similar where you can draw and "extract" pieces but it doesn't compare directly with CLO's freehand tool... I was just wondering how things have progressed generally and if your opinion may have changed since on whether or not one is "better" than the other. I'd love to hear your opinion as you're an expert in the field. (Pattern accuracy is fairly important to me)

    • @383design
      @383design  Рік тому +2

      Thanks for watching and commenting, and my apologies for the delayed response. I could have sworn I already answered this. Anywho, I actually asked Browzwear about this, and I was told they don't have a tool comparable to CLO's 3D pen, and from the further discussion, I got the impression that adding something like that was not a priority for them.
      I don't think one is better than the other in general terms. I do think one might be better to execute a project or your brands needs. If your focus is more on pattern work, Browzwear might be the better option for you. The learning curve is a little higher, but IMO, it forces you to be more accurate when you're creating your patterns.
      I know there are freelance patternmakers that use CLO, but besides ease of use, I think some of that is because CLO has a subscription model, so you can easily just sign up and start using the program. Browzwear doesn't have that yet. And although they do have a program for Independent Designers if they want to use the program, I think a lot of people just find CLO easier because you can just go to the website and signup.

      Thanks for watching and commenting! That's a little hard because I've never been able to get an independent customer price out of Browzwear. I know there was a period where you could use the Browzwear software for free if you took the test to join their guild (and unfortunately not sure if this is the case because I think their management recetly changed), but then after that, I'm really not sure what they charge.
      I do think that with all the things you get with CLO3d and for as much as they update the software, their monthly plan is pretty affordable (relative to what you pay for other software and what you actually get). And if you truly plan to make 3d a main part of how you design or what you offer as a freelancer, I'd say go for it. There is a 30 day trial, so you at least have that.

    If my primary goal is to break into fashion through freelancing with no fashion school experience, what program is the most marketable?

    • @383design
      @383design  2 роки тому +3

      As a freelancer, either is good. It really depends on what you're planning to do. You mention flats and tech packs, so I would suggest CLO. There are a lot more people now asking for 3D visuals from design freelancers, and CLO is easier to learn and you don't have to be as technical. (If you're interested in pattern making and more tech design, I would suggest Browzwear.)

    Hi Mikelle, I was wondering if you've played around with your Style3D demo yet? I was very interested in Browzwear (Vstitcher) due to their technical accuracy and the fact that they are well established with an impressive client list. Style3D on the other hand has a very impressive pen tool (you can extract patterns - fitted ones mostly - by directly drawing on the Avatar and the program also seems to have some Photoshop-like abilities, e.g it can create a seamless all-over print from an image alone, something you'd have to do outside of Vstitcher, for instance). It seems like Style3D has taken CLO3D as a base and made it better... I was wondering what your opinion is?

      Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. I actually haven't had a chance to even start the Style3D trial. I did get a demo, though. It's really cool, but I was never rushing to it because they made it clear that some of the things a designer might need to produce physical product, their software cannot do. Nor was the company planning to develop into that in the future.
      I was extremely impressed, though, with their virtual store. I think that would be a game changer for designers.

My only hesitance about their program is based on the features, I think it's better if you're creating designs that will stay digital (and not be made into physical products), but they have a really cool feature that is launching soon (it may already be out) to create a virtual store where you customer will feel like they're literally walking into your store and shopping for your clothes on a rack.

      Hi! Thanks for watching and commenting. If you want the functionality specifically for fashion (creating a BOM or POMs for a tech pack, creating patterns to export and use to create physical garments, making a marker, colorways), you'll NEED to use CLO. Those types of options are not part of MD. I'm also not sure if there's a built in render engine, but there are plenty of other programs that you can use to render so that's not such a big deal.
      I'll also say that if you are learning 3D to work in a corporate setting, you're MUCH less likely to see a company asking for MD skills.

      CLO does have an option to create a marker, though, so you can create that layout so when you're ready to export your patterns, it's ready to be laid out on the fabric and cut.

Just hope Browzwear stops being so laissez-faire when it comes to making the program publicly available because at this point I almost cant see why they are choosing to do so.

      Are you asking about any programor a 3d program? And what is the purpose? Are you using software to sell to customers, to just get an idea of what you want for yourself? The end use makes a difference. If it's just internal use, you may not need anything very fancy. But if you plan to use the digital assets for marketing, you'll probably want to go 3d. Or even just use an AI program.
