hi everyone

CLO Virtual Fashion just dropped something worth knowing about. 👀 Marvelous Designer 2026.0 is out now, and if you are into 3D garment design for gaming, animation, or virtual fashion, this update has some genuinely exciting new features. Here is what is new 👇🏾 𝟯𝗗 𝗣𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹 ✏️ You can now draw pattern pieces directly onto a 3D avatar, which is a completely different way of working compared to traditional flat pattern drafting. It makes the early design process much more intuitive, especially for people coming from a more creative than technical background. 𝗟𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹 👟 A dedicated tool for creating lacing on garments, brilliant for footwear design and any pieces with cord or lace detailing. This kind of specific feature shows how seriously CLO Virtual Fashion is taking the needs of designers working across all product categories, not just apparel. 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 🎨 A new rendering style that gives garments a stylised, illustrative look rather than photorealistic. For anyone designing for gaming or animation, or wanting a distinctive aesthetic for their brand visuals, this is a really useful addition. 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘂𝗽𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀 ⚡ GPU acceleration has been added for simulating trims, buttons, buckles, accessories, which means complex garments with detailing will now simulate faster and more smoothly. Marvelous Designer sits alongside CLO3D under the CLO Virtual Fashion umbrella and is particularly popular in gaming and animation. Personal subscriptions start at $39 per month, with a $280 annual option. If you have been curious about 3D garment design but found CLO3D’s learning curve daunting, Marvelous Designer is worth a look , particularly with the new 3D Pencil making early design exploration much more accessible. Are you using Marvelous Designer or CLO3D already? And which of these new features would be most useful to you? 👇🏾
