Course Description

This introductory course will teach students to create fashion garments in a 3D environment using avatars and CLO 3D software. Students will develop patterns, simulate sewing, add fabrics and trims, and conduct fittings to produce original designs using the 2D and 3D platforms. PREREQUISITE: FASH A255. ADVISORY: FASH A100 and FASH A150. Transfer Credit: CSU.

Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)

1. Students will demonstrate proficient 3D design skills using avatars to create fully rendered fashion designs, encompass digital pattern drafting and construction techniques, digital draping and layering of garments, and effective use of materials.

Course Objectives

• 1. Create lifelike 3D representations of garments using 2D blocks and patterns, translating them into finished 3D designs.
• 2. Transform initial design blocks into 3D garments, applying pattern drafting and construction skills.
• 3. Customize avatars through editing to adjust appearance, size, and pose-matching design requirements for future use.
• 4. Generate 3D flat pattern blocks by translating 2D shapes into three-dimensional garment elements.
• 5. Demonstrate the addition and removal of seam allowances, annotations, and symbols for accurate 3D pattern representation.
• 6. Practice the process of digital sewing and assemble of patterns within the 3D software, dressing avatars with designed garments.
• 7. Demonstrate the ability to manipulate fabric appearance and behavior, ensuring realistic simulation within the 3D environment.
• 8. Utilize fit assessment tools, including maps, to evaluate and optimize the fit of designed garments on avatars.
• 9. Apply essential garment details such as pins, tucks, steam, elasticated waistbands, yokes, zippers, buttons, patch pockets, topstitching, puckering, fullness, and pleats.
• 10. Incorporate graphics and textures seamlessly into 3D fashion designs to enhance realism and aesthetics.
• 11. Calculate the amount of fabric required for specific garment designs, considering variations and design elements.
• 12. Prepare garments for the creation of high-quality rendered images and captivating turntable animations, showcasing the designs effectively.
