Let’s try a new format here…

While it’s important to understand the big picture issues and opportunities within the 3D fashion world, it’s more tactile for us to understand the day in and day out issues facing 3D fashion designers. And I can sit here and tell you everything I know from working with these comapnies tbut that would give you the outsider view.

So instead, I would like to let the creative professionals in that space speak for themselves. So here, I will highlight a few of the brilliant individuals from The 3D Artist Community to drop some knowledge on us!

And I do a lot of consulting in my work and for me to understand what someone does, it comes down to understanding a few things…

• Before beginning your 3D creation, what are you provided with? Design sketches? Color palettes? Material Samples? Etc…
• What software do you use on a daily basis?
• What do you do with that software?
• What do you export at the end of your process? Images? Tech Packs? Etc..
• What’s something that most people fundamentally don’t understand about your job?
• What are the hardest parts of your job? What’s something you struggle with every day?
• What’s your favorite part about your job?
• What’s a piece of advice you would give someone looking to transition their 3D skills into the fashion industry?

We’re back with Deep Dive #3 in the 3D Fashion series.

We kicked things off with the Start Here guide….a broad intro to what’s happening in the world of 3D fashion, who it’s for, and why now’s the moment. Then we went historical with Deep Dive 1, unpacking the major tech shifts in the fashion industry and how we got from pencil sketches to CLO3D sims.

Last week, Deep Dive 2 walked through the software stack: from Illustrator and Browzwear to Substance and VNTANA. Basically, the digital toolbox that 3D fashion designers use every day.
