CLO Virtual Fashion, provider of 3D fashion design software, announces its partnership with Substance by Adobe, a tool for creating textures for 3D content; Jeanologia, a specialist in finishing technology solutions for denim, and ColorDigital, a pioneer in faultless and expedient colour and surface communication, for the release of CLO 6.0.
The integration of these technologies delivers the brand and designer a flawless workflow from start to finish while helping them with sustainable design creation that is 1:1 representation of the physical end product.
“By providing practical and seamless workflows with Substance by Adobe, Jeanologia and ColorDigital, CLO users can now extend their design continuity to its fullest with their beloved applications. We are extremely thrilled to work with accredited partners to bring augmented value to our users,” says Simon Kim, CEO, CLO Virtual Fashion.
The Substance by Adobe will allow the users to import Substance SBSAR files directly into the CLO software. This would allow expressing textures and materials more realistically than ever before through physical-based rendering technology.
Moreover, the material properties can be customised and edited by the designers, taking true-to-life virtual simulation in 3D apparel design to the next level.
The designers and brands will now be able to apply .jean file created in eDesigner directly onto CLO’s garments – thereby improving the visualisation and rendering of denim finishes and then sending them straight to the laser machines to start the production using eMark, Jeanologia’s software that is installed in the laser machine.
The ColorDigital will allow solution to create hyper-realistic digitised materials using the company’s DMIx Cloud © a cloud-based solution. This technology will empower the designers and suppliers to share information at the highest possible level in terms of colour and surface textures of fabrics.
Using this, designers and brands using CLO are able to drag and drop textures and colours from the DMIx Cloud © that is accessible via web browser and apply these directly to their garments in the CLO software with all visual factors of the fabric taken into account.
CLO since 2009 has been making efforts to create a creative and sustainable landscape for apparel industries.
