Crazy how the first time I started my research on design applications Browzwear did not come up. CLO3d was something I was eager to learn and I’ve been creating non stop ever since. I don’t have any background in FashionDesign school but I love fashion and creating ideas. My partner and I have a handbag line coming soon. 🙏🏽🙌🏽 thanks for the video! ❤️
Thank you for watching and commenting!
This is so helpful, thank you. We learned optitex in design school so this a great breakdown to decide which one to use for starting my own brand as well as to bring to the small brand that I currently work for.
Hi, @ashleybrooke! Thanks for watching and commenting:) Glad it was helpful!
Great 👍🏼 eagerly awaiting your courses 😃
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Mikelle, you’re truly the best. Thanx
Thank you so much, Lindsey. And thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you so much for the details information❤
Thank you for watching and commenting!
I found this video helpful. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Another great video, thanks :)
Thank you so much for continuing to watch and comment!
thanks a lot, I think once browzwear add the free hand pattern as function it will be better. However very good comparison, helped me a lot!
Agree!
Thank you for creating this
Hi, Sage! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I appreciate you:)
Thank you so much for this! I graduated from FIDM Los Angeles in 2003. I'm having to upgrade all my skills now because knowing Adobe illustrator and photoshop is no longer good enough to get the job! lol
Hi, thanks for watching and commenting! Knowing the Adobe programs is still important, but you're right, knowing JUST those programs is not enough. Companies are expecting you to know what's next, even if they haven't upgraded yet.
I've been encouraging all my students to start learning it now, while it's still new and companies are more forgiving if you're not quite a an expert yet or you're a little slower. Once these programs become the standard, there's going to be a lot more pressure to be quick and to know one or the other (or both!) very well.
With Clo3D I find it’s easier to do pattern cutting from a fitted sloper then using the flattening tool, just for accuracy. I spent so much time correcting in software. All the lines become so obscured especially on my plussize avatars it’s a lot testing, measuring, and walking the patterns. I really want to use these softwares to help make it cheaper for me to do production for my small brand. I find I still have to develop base patterns physically and send it to a grader.
Thanks for watching and commenting! Have you used Browzwear? It might be a better option for you. Or Optitex. I always get mixed reviews about Optitex but every tech designer I know who’s used it says it’s amazing for pattern making.
@@383design I am actually currently taking their free courses right now to learn Vstitcher and the workflow is abit more restricted but there’s a lot more emphasis on accuracy. I feel working in 3D fashion your always going to work with multiple softwares no matter what.
@@alexyarally Yes, Browzwear is used a lot more in corporate by Tech Designers. And agree, much more emphasis on accuracy while Clo feels much more like a designer's program where you can just freely create. Browzwear still gives you an amazing rendering, but you definitely need to understand patternmaking a lot more to get to the final result.
8:57 I use paper patterns that I draft from technical sketches. I love my digitizer to transfer paper patterns into digital format. Not too many fitting issues. I wonder if any of this software will work with my table top digitizer? Do you use a digi pen or tablet for paper patterns?
Hi! Thanks for watching and commenting! I'm not sure if there's a direct link within the program, but you can certainly digitize and save the pattern as a .DXF or .PDF file and then bring the pattern into the program. It's done very often!
I am first watching the video.
Form Bangladesh.
Thanks for watching! Let me know in the comments what you think and what software you think is best for you to use:)
Which 3d fashion design program are you using?
Hi Mikelle, When you made this video (last year) Browzwear didn't have a "freehand" tool like CLO where you can draw on the Avatar and have a pattern created automatically. They seem to have something similar where you can draw and "extract" pieces but it doesn't compare directly with CLO's freehand tool... I was just wondering how things have progressed generally and if your opinion may have changed since on whether or not one is "better" than the other. I'd love to hear your opinion as you're an expert in the field. (Pattern accuracy is fairly important to me)
Thanks for watching and commenting, and my apologies for the delayed response. I could have sworn I already answered this. Anywho, I actually asked Browzwear about this, and I was told they don't have a tool comparable to CLO's 3D pen, and from the further discussion, I got the impression that adding something like that was not a priority for them.
I don't think one is better than the other in general terms. I do think one might be better to execute a project or your brands needs. If your focus is more on pattern work, Browzwear might be the better option for you. The learning curve is a little higher, but IMO, it forces you to be more accurate when you're creating your patterns.
I know there are freelance patternmakers that use CLO, but besides ease of use, I think some of that is because CLO has a subscription model, so you can easily just sign up and start using the program. Browzwear doesn't have that yet. And although they do have a program for Independent Designers if they want to use the program, I think a lot of people just find CLO easier because you can just go to the website and signup.
Awesome videos!!!!!
Are you running your computer hardwired or wifi?
Thanks for watching and commenting! I appreciate you!
I am using WiFi.
FYI your Jotform data may be skewed. It won't allow us to enter that we learned about the pending course on U Tube. We have to choose Instagram or Linked In or it wont move through the questions.
Oh, thank you so much for letting me know that! Initially, IG and LI were the only two places I was talking about it. I need to add CZcams as an option:)
Hi Mikelle, I was wondering if you've played around with your Style3D demo yet? I was very interested in Browzwear (Vstitcher) due to their technical accuracy and the fact that they are well established with an impressive client list. Style3D on the other hand has a very impressive pen tool (you can extract patterns - fitted ones mostly - by directly drawing on the Avatar and the program also seems to have some Photoshop-like abilities, e.g it can create a seamless all-over print from an image alone, something you'd have to do outside of Vstitcher, for instance). It seems like Style3D has taken CLO3D as a base and made it better... I was wondering what your opinion is? I'd love to hear from you as you're an expert in the field and your videos are very informative. Thank you
Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. I actually haven't had a chance to even start the Style3D trial. I did get a demo, though. It's really cool, but I was never rushing to it because they made it clear that some of the things a designer might need to produce physical product, their software cannot do. Nor was the company planning to develop into that in the future.
I was extremely impressed, though, with their virtual store. I think that would be a game changer for designers.
Hi Mikelle, your videos are super informative! I'd love to hear your opinion on Style3D... this video about Browz vs CLO has been incredibly helpful to me. Have you tried style3D by any chance yet...?
Hi, thank you so much for watching and commenting, and for the compliment on my videos! I appreciate you:)
I haven't had a chance to work on Style3D yet, but I did get a demo, and it's pretty cool! My only hesitance about their program is based on the features, I think it's better if you're creating designs that will stay digital (and not be made into physical products), but they have a really cool feature that is launching soon (it may already be out) to create a virtual store where you customer will feel like they're literally walking into your store and shopping for your clothes on a rack.

I enjoyed your content.
My partner would like to cut a Victorian style dress. I would like to help in some way. What would you suggest? Can this be done with theese software?
Hi, sorry I missed your comment, and thanks for watching and commenting!
You can definitely help your partner using either of these software. It can help you make the pattern, even fit it before you cut an actual garment. And then you can drape it on a body to see how accurate your pattern is.
Hi! Im totally new in digital design and I'd like to learn. I'd like to do some NFTs. Which Software do you recommend? I'm actually a jewelry designer, is it possible to do jewelry with these softwares as well?
Hi, Alejandra! Thanks for watching and commenting!
You can actually use either for NFTs, though I've seen more people use CLO3d (I think more because it's a little simpler to use IMO.) For jewelry, I believe you can use either, but the folks I've known that have done 3d jewely design have used other programs like Rhino.
any review about tailornova if I put it in comparison, just a quick your own opinion.
Nope, never heard of it so at the moment, no opinion:)
If my primary goal is to break into fashion through freelancing with no fashion school experience, what program is the most marketable? I've been studying how to do flats and tech packs in illustrator and really want to give myself the best chance possible at getting work when i start sending proposals.
As a freelancer, either is good. It really depends on what you're planning to do. You mention flats and tech packs, so I would suggest CLO. There are a lot more people now asking for 3D visuals from design freelancers, and CLO is easier to learn and you don't have to be as technical. (If you're interested in pattern making and more tech design, I would suggest Browzwear.)
@@383design Thank you!
I'm learning how to design clothes and make them myself. Which program you think would be better to create patterns?
Hi! Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate you! You can create patterns in either software:) I would suggest just trying both and see which works better for you.
WICH IS THE BEST SOFT WHERE FOR FASION DESINING ?LECTRA IS GOOD ?
Hi, thanks for watching and commenting! Unfortunately, I have not used either so can't answer that.
CLO all day everyday
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Is teacher teach CLO software to students of fashion design in all fashion colleges or its optional software ?🤔
Depends on what your college offers.
Which type of laptop should we choose for these 3d programs?
Hi, thanks for watching and commenting! If you're talking about Mac vs. Windows based, as much as I'd love to say Mac, these programs seem to work better on Windows based computers, particularly when it comes to the rendering.
Sorry it is not not about design, rather than manufacture question. Can i feed the design pattern to any maschine? if so what are the affordable machines producing these that we get from these 3d software. your help is much appreciated
Hi, thanks for watching and commenting:) I'm not completely sure what you mean by "feed the design pattern to any machine." You can definitely export a .DXF or .PDF pattern (there's a few other file formats as well) so you can output the pattern from a plotter to make a physical garment. Is that what you mean?
@@383design hi thanks for the quick reply. I would design on 3d clo and take dxf to an automatic production line if this how the entire system works. Or there are sawing machines and operators do them individually.
@@janosgyerman I think the first option is your best bet. I believe TukaCAD has specific machines that work with their software to create a marker and laser cut your patterns, but they are WAY more expensive, and their software and machines are proprietary.
CLO does have an option to create a marker, though, so you can create that layout so when you're ready to export your patterns, it's ready to be laid out on the fabric and cut.
Regardless of which software you choose, you do have work with a manufacturer and sewers. It's automated up to that point;)
@@383design thank you so much for the information :)
as a student whos currently learning browzwear looking to freelance, is it viable getting ahold of a independent license? from what i gathered talking to professors and school staff, its not commercially available in the way that clo3D. im hoping im wrong but not even browzwear itself gives much information as far as acquiring an independent license.
Hi, thanks for watching and commenting! Apparently, they are working on the subscription model, but in the meantime, they do have and Indie Program for independent designers. The access is only for a few months, but honestly, they've extended that access multiple times now. I think they do want more users and recognize it's to their advantage to have other Browzwear users outside of the corporate setting. Hopefully, by the time you graduate, they'll have figured out their subscription model.
@@383design thanks for responding! I genuinely hope they pull through with the subscription model. While I do have my own gripes with the program (mainly browzwear variabled upkeep of the software compared to how much they charge for a corporate license), Id preferer to stick with it as opposed to having to learn an entirely different program which would be Clo3D in this case. Despite only having Vstitcher for 6 months Ive grown very accustomed to it and could see my self devoting far more time into it. Just hope Browzwear stops being so laissez-faire when it comes to making the program publicly available because at this point I almost cant see why they are choosing to do so. While the intersection between fashion design and CAD design is a still relatively niche one, Clo3D has proved that there is a demand by the general consumer.
@@ccakaccakaccakacc I think they will. I know they're working on it. Hopefully, they'll unveil it soon. In the meantime, you can get into their Indie program:)
Are universities using these programs?
Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. Yes, several universities are teaching these programs.
Do you recommend marvelous designer?
Hi! Thanks for watching and commenting. If you want the functionality specifically for fashion (creating a BOM or POMs for a tech pack, creating patterns to export and use to create physical garments, making a marker, colorways), you'll NEED to use CLO. Those types of options are not part of MD. I'm also not sure if there's a built in render engine, but there are plenty of other programs that you can use to render so that's not such a big deal.
I'll also say that if you are learning 3D to work in a corporate setting, you're MUCH less likely to see a company asking for MD skills.
@@383design Thank you SO SO much for answering me! I appreciate it a lot, and I appreciate your incredible experience!
What is the price between both programs?
Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. Currently, CLO is the only one with a subscription model. You should check their website since this might change but last I checked it as $50USD/mo. Right now, Browzwear has a program for independent designers that you can apply to for access to the software. I know they are working on a subscription model, though.
@@383design thank you so much! Yes, I was looking at both their websites and Browzwear was unclear on the price. I have more knowledge in Browzwear from my corporate work, but would like to learn CLO as well.
Your videos are very informative, thank you so much!
how much is browzwear and clo?
Thanks for watching and commenting! It's probably best if you visit the websites as the prices may change and I don't know what country you're in so it may be different.
I can tell you that for Browzwear, they currently are still working on a subscription model so you'd have to register for their Indie program to use the software.
Pls how do I start
Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. I would suggest you choose one or the other (depending on your needs), go to the website and get a free trial or subscription.
How can I download browzwear for free?
You'll have to become part of their Indie program and you'll get access for a limited time. It's an application you need to fill out. You can access it on their website. under "Why Browwear".
@@383design ok, thank you
DANKO.
