🕑 Added 2023-09-20 15:33:33 +0000 UTCThis is just a simple T-shirt and shorts, using football outfit pattern. You can find the files in the 'extra' folder in shared link.
I spend about several hours per week for the last month to complete this. This is what I learnt so far comparing this program to Clo.
- I is very painful to accurately draft pattern internally. You have to relied on other program like adobe illustrator. I personally use seamly, however the program have problem importing the dxf file from seamly -it just show up as blank. I have to resort to svg instead, but this means I have to manually scale the pattern.
- To be fair, I think even Clo is not a good program to draft pattern. I highly recommend seamly/valentina. I'll write more about it in the future.
- To me the biggest downside of this program compared to Clo/MD is you cannot do much experimentation. You must have a good pattern first to simulate in place. They assume that everyone using this program have fashion background.
- The program notified me a few days ago that my license is about to expire in 10 days. I don't know if I have to pay or applied again for indie license. If I have to pay, I will not renew, unless if it less than 5 dollar.
- Overall, this is a viable alternative to Clo. It is used professionally by companies. Best of all, It is free if you are able to join the indie program. I will not recommend this over Clo, especially if you don't have fashion background. However, if you don't want to pay the the 50$ monthly Clo subscription, this is the only free (legal) alternative you have that I know of.
I desperately hope that there is an open-source, blender-like 3d garment making program, that I can run offline, and not worry about licensing. I hate that my work is tied to certain companies that they can cut access to the program anytime. If you have any program that you can recommend, please let me know.
*** A patron DM me about my 3D footwear last month, and I said I'll make one within a month. I did start doing it but I didn't finish within a month. Sorry for not keeping up with my word. If I manage to finish one - I'll definitely share with you guys, even if it is ugly because failure is part of the process ****
