Course Details
Hello, welcome! If you found your way here it's because you want to understand how to use CLO3D for simulating underwire bras that translate to real-world garments. I've seen so many 3D garments made only for visualization that don't use a pattern or materials that truly represent the physical garment, and my goal is to change that.
In this course, you will learn how to draft an underwire bra pattern using the 2D tools in Clo, and also how to construct and simulate that pattern for both a basic and a complex 3D simulation. The basic version will include all necessary details to quickly evaluate fit and design without slowing down your file. In contrast, the advanced simulation will include all components of the physical bra for highly detailed presentations and an accurate representation of the final product.

Your instructor
Hi, I’m Trudy! I’m a freelance intimate apparel designer, creator of the Underdressed podcast, founder of Wayfinder Lingerie Online Academy and retired military pilot. When I first discovered Clo3D, a software specifically made for patternmaking and 3D garment design development, I was blown away! I was able to create professional patterns and test them as 3D prototypes based on custom avatar sizes. The amount of resources I could save including paper, fabric and time, was well worth time and money I spent learning the software. As a person with diverse interests, a spirit for adventure and always motivated by curiosity and creativity, I enjoy trailblazing and continuously pushing the limits of what is possible! I would love to invite you along on the journey with me!
FAQ
Do I need to have taken Clo3D Foundations for Intimate Apparel to take this course?
The foundations course is not a requirement, but you will be expected to be familiar with concepts introduced in the Foundations course, including; how to import assets in 3D and 2D, how to modify your avatar, how to modify materials, both physical and visual properties, and a high intermediate to advanced understanding of the CLO3D user interface and functionality.
If in doubt I highly recommend the Foundations Course to best set yourself up for success.
Do I have lifetime access?
Yes, after you complete your purchase you will have lifetime access to all lessons which will be available to complete on your own time at your own pace.
What if I am unable to attend the live monthly Clo Contour Lab sessions?
Lessons will be recorded and available in the community. Questions can be sent before the lab so we call lean from each other.
