Cloth and Fold Anatomy for 3d Artists 

I just started with painting and 3D modelling / sculpting and I instantly realized that my work was missing something when it came to clothes, curtains or hand towels. It was clear to me that I do not get the folds right. Your video really helped me a lot to understand what I did not realize about folds and fabrics. Thank you a hundred times 🌻

Thank you! I've been struggling with this subject for a while and now I understand it way better. Amazing work! Thank you very much.

Wow such a GREAT video that is, litteraly an Art school class! Thank you so much Laura for giving us such quality content for free 😲

I've been struggling with clothes modeling for a while now and this helped a lot. Thank you so much

My second time through this video, and all I can say is thanks for sharing your knowledge!

The best resource on clothing knowledge, thanks for sharing. Proud to be a member of Outgang!

pls keep producing your amazing content, it's gold, I'm sure everyone including myself will support in ways we can.

This is GOLD. Thank you so much for this Laura.

I was skimming through your video and saw something that caught my eye. you pulling the cloth at a very concentrated point and i was like huh wonder how thats useful. then you proceed to show how its useful. AccuCuve. I love you. years of using only DamStandard to shoddy results and here you are with the move brush and a button turned on. damn

Probably one of the best videos on cloth sculpting/drawing, Thank you

Not a 3D artist but this definitely helped me understand it better for my art. Thank you!

you got this laura, I hope everything's going smoothly for you

I can't say how grateful I am with your videos Laura! This is the most detailed cloth anatomy review! Thanks so much for sharing your expertise with the community!

Just wow. Extremely well explained and useful. Thank you Laura.

I am going to use the XYZ Method now and forever LOL Great lecture and study! Thank you for sharing your knowledge to help us as artists improve our craft!

Thank you for this video. I'm terrible at sculpting clothing and especially knowing where to apply the folding parts. This video has helped me understand clothing a little better.

That was SO helpful ! It's so well explained how does this only have 10k views

Awesome. Really appreciate these kind of in depth videos.

Best video of the subjet for sure! thanks a lot!

Wow, I fell in love with you at first sight! You are such a warm and intelligent person, class exudes from you! Great dose of knowledge, can see that the content of the video and the sequence is very carefully thought out. Thank you, I am very happy to have come across your channel!

Wow! I learned so much from this video. Thank you a lot! :D

Awesome Laura! Thanks for that! Love your work

Wow, This was an amazing break down! Thank you! ^_^

Really cool stuff, thanks for that. I always tried to achieve that foil look which is defined by a lots of hard wrinkles. Now I'm quite sure it is a missing feature in MD.

Thanks, very clear and easy to understand.

This is quality resourceful educational material, love the amount of info provided, thank you very much!

This is the best clothes tutorial ever

Laura, you're a massive help and you're also so darn cute! Thanks for the informative video. You made a huge difference in my modeling!

insanely valuable, thankyou

Incredible Content! Congrats!

"buckling" is also misused here. the segmentation of the bigger folds is because the fabric is too soft to hold up its own weight, the deformation is in the same direction as the force applied (vertically). so it "broke into 2 smaller groups of fabric that is able to hold its own weight horizontally separated by a abrupt point in the middle.

Thanks for sharing this knowledge!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge Laura & very well explained

You're the king !

thx 4 the video? very usefull infrmation for all 3d artist., i ll defenetly follow ur chanel to see more video like that !!!!

Thanks for video. It is so good. Love you.

awesome! thank you

Thank you very much for all that information 🙏🙏🙏😀

Lots of useful information, thank you very much❤

AMAZING

you are doing a great job on this channel.

that's a very helpful video. Thank you so much

Vert informative and well thought out.

This was a great one.. so informative

Great video!

thanks a lot

This was great thank you 😊

Hey! Love yor videos. Just curious, what headphones are you using?

Very informative video, you are doing a great work.

great video tnx

Awesome stuff

solid stuff thanks for sharing :)

Thank you very much! You are beautiful ♥️

Very interesting video ! Thanks !)

really helpful

♥ i like ur videos

very easy to understand even work for 2d artist like me , thanks for the vid , wish i could notice more about logic, form structure not just draw what i like ( sory my english horrible )

how would be a good approach to create those very tight folds in zbrush? those that are kind of hiding cloth underneath and are hard to make it sculptable because its too close... for example in 13:21 the bottom of the trausers make those tight folds. SAme happens with eye lids, how to make them when they are inside the skin (eyes open). thats something i always wondered. i guess is it just by masking(even if it will be even hard to mask that area? or there are some tricks to make it simpler?

There's a video by NickelCityPixels uploaded 4 years ago. There's a chance you saw the XYZ concept there :p just thought I'd mention

Yes, your explanation are efficient but I would say you can also iron your belongings before going out !

Very good stuff :D you look like horizon in Apex :P keep up the good work.

do leather have a memory folds then? If you say that memory folds is a point of material failure like buckling point, I assume leather will not have any memory folds also?

you are so pretty omg

Algae Studio :D !!

*Physics* *Gravity* When you drop an object (On Earth), at any given point, there'll be both gravity and air resistance. Gravity: A universal force in space (Earth is also space) which pulls two+ bodies together. Equation looks like this: F = (G*m*M)/r^2 F = Attraction G = Gravitational constant m = Mass of body one M = Mass of body two r = Distance between center of bodies Air resistance: The air molecules beneath/ between the two bodies being pushed aside by the two colliding bodies. I don't know the equation for this You'd subtract gravity with air resistance. Temperatures will also have an impact on air resistance, I suppose. (That's how hot air balloons work) I imagine air molecules will be trapped beneath the clothing, whenever motion happens, which will create folds. *Waves* All waves behave the same, be it sound, light or water waves. They spread out in circles or spheres and can create interference with each other. Waves have negative (Valley) and positive (Hill) amplitudes. When interference happens between two or more waves, the amplitudes at the collision points will either amplify, subtract or cancel each other out depending on where the waves hit each other. When a wave hits a wall, it'll bounce back, creating more interference. If the wall has one or more holes in it, the waves will continue on the other side, however the bigger the hole, the less it will bend on the other side. This is called diffraction.

Gravity is a force, people has mis conception, but dont replace it with another misconception. Neil deGrasse Tyson never say its not a force in that clip. I am a 3d artist in Game indutry and i studied Physics in Uni.

Theory cannot explain 80% of the wrinkles,so we call them dark wrinkles.

Korean language please I Dont understand english

everytime I see her looks like someone rendered her out for a video...!😂

You need to really study physics before speaking of them without understanding them. Just as an example, you say gravity does not form folds but normal does (yeah the thing you was unable to name). But without gravity there wont be any normal force to form the folds.
