Beginner's Guide to CLO Part 4 Materials & Presentation: Graphics (Lesson 3) 

Currently in CLO you can only export out front views, but this is a feature request we are aware of that will hopefully be in a future version of CLO

For Blender to CLO we recommend searching for those specific types of videos.

See response on previous video

Hi. By default the Graphic is placed at the same place for each pattern piece from the center. But if you need to make some slight adjustments you can use the Edit Grading (each) tool to adjust in the grades

Hi. For unwrapping on other programs you will need to look for tutorials offered by them directly :)

Hi Ian When adding a graphic it should be added to the main pattern piece using the graphics tool (Looks like a Tiny Tee on the Tool bar). It sounds like might be making a separate pattern piece which would act more like a patch and would then need to be sewn to the garment (otherwise it would fall to the floor once Simulation is turned on like you describe) For the Graphic to then be raised up you will need to apply to proper Displacement Maps to the Graphic. Important to note that Graphic Displacement Maps will only be visible in the Render Window and not the 3D window. We suggest taking a look at the video a little slower and step by step to see what you may have missed. But if you have more questions and want to share visuals check out our official Discord :) support.clo3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/7814962429977-How-can-I-join-CLO-Discord-

See previous comment

It is the same principle. Rather than the displacement map being a black ground with a white logo, invert it; white on black.

Sorry you are having an issue. Here is a link to file formats. support.clo3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002000227-Compatible-File-Format Also try searching there for the solution you are looking for.

This will all depend on what your settings are. We would recommend joining our CLO community Forums or Official Discord so that you can add photos with your questions

@@CLO3D how do I join the discord and forum?

Hi. We are always happy to help. But these are quite a few questions and might be easier to understand with visuals. I recommend reposting to either our Community Forums or official Discord channel. but will start to answe below Q1 - For the Graphics you will need to export just the Graphic as a PNG from PS and then apply in CLO. Which is what this video show Q2 - You need to choose a Fabric in the CLO library or look on the CLO CONNECT store. These will include fabric physics and texture. Or you can use the physics and apply other Textures./Maps to your fabric that match more closely to your IRL fabric. This is covered in an earlier video from the beginner series - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LFtPds-QAWk.html Q3 - This comes down to pattern making. You will need to adjust your pattern and then style/simulate it how you want it to sit on the avatar Q4 - There are already hangers available in the CLO library under the section labeled Hanger If you are new to CLO we recommend going through this entire series or out CLO Udemy series (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5KEMiaBU8-k.html) to first learn the foundations of CLO. Then star to create and grow your skills

Sorry for the late reply. Were you able to get an answer to your question? This feature has been updated in CLO v 6.

Hi. The fabric Tab is selected because this was made in a previous version of CLO where there was no Graphics Tab. So you just used the Transform Graphics Tool previously to select the graphics. In the newer releases CLO will change over to the Graphics Tab For the Logo when you are in the Render Engine are you making sure That Interactive Render is turned on (looks like a play button)? If Stop is selected you will not see the color changes

@@CLO3D thank you! The issue with logo colour was fixed once I pressed Play Render, but it was not updating while I was changing the colour and editing in Interactive Render. Is there a reason for that?

This will all depend on what your settings are. We would recommend joining our CLO community Forums or Official Discord so that you can add photos with your questions

For Displacement Maps is there Blur applied? You need blue of the map can blend form the black/white. You may also may find it easier to post to the CLO community Forum on our website so you can add images for reference

@@CLO3D I applied the blur in photoshop but stil the outline are coming like a crumbled paper. May I know how to post on clo forum please?

It is located on our website. support.clo3d.com/hc/en-us/community/topics

This option has been removed for Graphics. Apply the image as a PRINT in the Object Browser [select the Fabric click the + on] and you will have even more tile options.

You can import color palettes that have been exported from other software and saved in ASE or ACO format.

As of now to have a graphic go over seam work you do have to put the graphic on both or all pieces/patterns that make up the seam and then do some alignment. Once a graphic is placed you can copy and paste it to other pieces Tips: 1. Use Edit Graphic tool in the 3D window because you can see the image move live/instantly. Makes alignment easy. 2. If you have a place where you can create the seam AFTER you place the graphic down, you can cut and sew after graphic is placed and it will duplicate and align on each pattern and you will not have to manually apply and align. 3. If you have a location you can temporarily merge, then place graphic, and then cut and sew to separate seam again this is also a quick way to eliminate manual alignment 4. Areas where two curved seams with shaping are sewn together such as armholes and darts/princess type seams will be a little trickier because the image will not have a perfect alignment location at the seams. In real life this occurs when the graphic is applied after the garment is sewn which makes it easy to conform to curved fabric area. Here since we have to depend on 2D it's a little limited. This will likely be improved in future releases though :) If you have any questions about the Merging or Cutting and Sewing I refer to please check out this video:, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2txgDjHsXIc.html

@@CLO3DAmazing! This has been most helpful. Thank you.

@@CLO3D Great tips. :)

@@sasindusilva2907 Thanks!

Hi There. In the upper left corner of the Library if you see Blue Dots you may need to download missing assets like this fabric. Just click the download button above in the library box and any missing assets will be downloaded and added to your library

@@CLO3D hi thanks for responding, it worked out just fine.

@@CLO3D Also if i export this as an object and add it into blender, will the logo still retain its detail as it did in clo, thanks

What version of CLO are you using? This is a feature that is available in 5.0 or higher.

@@CLO3D is possible to do it inany other way on version 4.2=

If you add a Texture and a Normal Map, you can scale them together.

We do not create new videos using old versions of the software.

Check now

Sorry about that! The link should work now.
