10 Minute Outfits: CLO Virtual Fashion Ushers in the Future of 3D Clothes with the Introduction of Marvelous Designer

Posted on by

Seoul, South Korea (PRWEB) June 13, 2012

Creating clothes has always been a hard road for CG artists. Always time-consuming, often arduous, this practice has long needed a program to do the dirty work of shaping, draping, and applying details to their digital assets. Artists, meet CLO Virtual Fashions Marvelous Designer (MD); a 3D clothes modeler whose professional-grade rendering and quick-click templates can take the pain out of complex clothing simulations.

Built on swift modeling tools and a mix-and-match layering system that can mimic all types of cloth variations, MD is how digital clothes get made faster. Speed features, like the ability to start from a template (like a shirt) helps 3D creators leap over the initial modeling stages that used to rob them of time and energy. 2D patterns selected from MDs library or created by other users can then be form-fitted to a 3D model quickly for an appealing and adjustable drape preview. Each pattern is easy to manipulate; giving the designer supreme flexibility around final looks in real-time.

Our goal is to help designers quickly make clothes that look and drape realistically, said Seungwoo Oh, Founder and CTO of CLO Virtual Fashion. Believability is what makes you stand out.

One of the many benefits of MDs physics-based draping technology is that it allows artists to sidestep a familiar modeling problem. Instead of artists being locked into the designs theyve modeled by hand, or the details theyve decided against, MD allows users to apply different outfits, details and clothing expressions to any piece theyve already started. Think the top needs to lose the ruffles? Or maybe needs a new pattern? Thats easy to change; no new modelling, backtracking, or starting over required. This versatility around new ideas helps designers focus their attention on patterns and form rather than detail sculpting and do-overs.

The functionality and interface of Marvelous Designer is extremely intuitive, said Joseph Drust, Senior Character Artist at Redstorm. Without even glancing at the Marvelous Designer tutorials, I was able to create a full dress in less than 10 minutes. You need this program if want to design 3D clothes at a professionals pace.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) August 31, 2012

The Fall 2012 Art At The Market event will be held on September 15th, 2012 from 9:30 AM 2:00 PM, at the Winchester Common farmers market, providing attendees the opportunity to purchase exquisite hand-made collections from Jenne Rayburn, a studio craft artist who will offer one-of-a-kind jewelry and accessories. Jenne will be highlighting her Ark Jewelry Collection. Combining traditional metalsmithing techniques like piercing, stamping, and etching, Ark is a collection of iconic-silhouetted images designed as earrings, necklaces and charm bracelets. These timeless shapes are inspired by the animal characters found in cultural mythologies the world over, and tell stories of how hope, strength and virtue tie us to a greater universal purpose. Expressing big ideas, aspirations, and values, through deeply rooted symbolism, Ark combines ornament with storytelling.

Jenne Rayburn is a metalsmith, enamellist, and seasoned designer who creates lovely, original jewelry and textile designs intended to compliment the vision of the woman who wears them. Jennes approach is rooted in the timeless elements and reflections of nature and natural formations, geometries and juxtapositions. She is inspired by the structure and ornamentation in architecture. She gravitates toward layering and contrasting texture and color. Her work embraces simplicity of form and intricacy of pattern. My wearable pieces are a contemporary distillation of ancient handcrafts and jewelry, the ornament of indigenous peoples, and interpretations of nature, said Rayburn. I love to blend art and history with form and function, combining traditional and innovative contemporary techniques to achieve dynamic color, texture and pattern effects. Jenne is fascinated with myths and folk stories that recount heroic adventures and strive to express the mystery and complexity of the human experience. Grounded by study and admiration of formal and classical design and traditional techniques, yet not constrained by them, Jenne is continually experimenting and seeking out innovative materials and methods that enable her to express her ideas.

The annual Art at the Market, presented by the Winchester Cultural Council, is a juried art fair. The jury is comprised of WCC members, practicing artists, art teachers, and committee members who annually judge original artwork of professional quality in any medium for acceptance. The Winchester Cultural Council is a group of volunteers, appointed by the Board of Selectmen, who work to serve the artistic and cultural life of Winchester, MA.

Art at the Market will be held at the Farmers Market on the Common

Asheville, NC (PRWEB) July 13, 2012

When HOAConnections started in Summer 2011, the focus was on designing a hoa website platform that not only provided more functionality than its competitors, but did it at a price that made it an industry leader. The company backed their product up with customer support that wowed their early adopters. However, after receiving customer feedback, they realized that where their hoa websites were a runaway hit their own company website was, “frankly a dud,” according to HOAConnections president, Brian Barrett. While the wealth of information about their hoa websites was clearly present, the presentation and lack of a cohesive design left their prospective customers confused about the advantages their hoa websites could provide to a homeowner association.

In response, HOAConnections set out to retool the message by completely overhauling the look and feel of http://www.hoaconnections.com. In the process, they honed the message from a running list of options that splayed itself across the consumer’s screen like a free form rambling of thoughts to a cohesive well thought out and targeted tool. Now customers are greeted with an elegant, modern interface that helps layout the message of what HOAConnections offers; an easy to use, intuitive, feature rich platform that finally provides a cost effective solution for homeowner associations desiring to communicate better with their homeowners. Through a new graphic interface, it is easier than ever to discover how simple it is to design an association’s hoa website. The consumer can now breeze over the hoa website template choices, see a live demo of a hoa website or view a sampling of current customer’s hoa websites, with no problem. Still in the development phase is a new and improved customer support section that will provide detailed, self help videos of the most important functions of the hoa websites. Not to mention the introduction of the Join Me conferencing software, furthering the company’s commitment to being an industry leader in customer support.

If you have been to HOAConnections in the past and felt overwhelmed by the company’s message, or underwhelmed, whatever the case may be. Your homeowner association owes it to themselves to have another look. Click over to http://www.hoaconnections.com and have a look. The company is quite sure you’ll like what you see.
