Custom Clothes
The legacy way of 3D modeling clothes can be very time consuming and frustrating. Cloth Weaver removes these headaches and simplifies the process. Easily create your clothing outline, setup the sections to be sewn together and Cloth Weaver takes over the rest in just a few buttons! Then, manually adjust and fine tune your fabric to fit your character. Cloth Weaver creates a backup of your outline to enable quick troubleshooting and tweaking.
Custom clothing is a trial-and-error process. It will require some basic knowledge of Blender and 3D modeling. We recommend beginning with the templates, expanding on them and experimenting.
