Excited to share my latest 3D garment exploration! Focused heavily on creating complex fabric dynamics, custom pattern tailoring, and stylized PBR texturing.Here is a quick look behind the scenes of the pipeline:
Marvelous Designer: The gown was built using custom 2D patterns to achieve a fitted, elegant silhouette. The multi-layered asymmetric ruffles and flounces required strict physical fabric properties configuration to ensure clean drapery and dynamic movement without mesh intersection.
Substance Painter: Material authoring was done using a non-destructive PBR workflow. Developed custom high/normal maps to replicate a heavy woven, textured fabric with an intricate diamond lattice and organic pattern. The light-beige ruffles were fine-tuned using specific roughness parameters to capture a soft, cotton-like feel.
Blender (Cycles): Assembled the final scene, focusing on composition and micro-details. Used a studio 3-point lighting setup with soft rim lights to accentuate the dress’s curves, fabric thickness, and the depth of the procedural wrinkles.
