About this course

In this course, you'll learn how to add puffy effects to garments. By the end, you'll be skilled in manipulating these effects, improving your workflow, and enhancing the look of your 3D puffy jackets.

We'll start by creating a basic vest following a clear written guide, applying what you've learned from previous courses. Then, we'll dive into puffy physics, showing you how to adjust properties for the effects you want. You'll also explore different puffy garment styles, like quilted jackets and box baffle constructions, along with welded puffy jackets.

We'll cap it off with a practical video lesson on elevating the visual appeal of your puffy jacket designs.

Check your retention throughout the course with a knowledge quiz.

Constructing a Basic Vest

Reference PDF with technical drawings of a Basic Vest with Hood, followed by a written guide on creating the Vest from a .BW file in VStitcher.

 

 

Fabric Physics (Optional)

 

A link to the 201 Fabric Physics lesson is provided. This is for users who have not completed or need a refresher of the 201 Materials Course.

 

Puffy Creation Guide

Reference PDF which summarizes all the important points to take note of when creating a puffy garment.

 

 

Puffy Physics

In this lesson, we will explore how to achieve the puffy effect in 3D garments using fabric physics in VStitcher, understanding the correlation between Thickness and Firmness, and experimenting with different values to create various levels of puffiness.

Topics: Puffy Creation, Fabric Physics, Puffy Firmness, Simulation, Line Properties, Puffy Lines, Fabrics, Clone Fabric, Renaming Fabrics, Edge Finish Effects, Grid Size

 

Line Properties (Optional)

A link to the 201 Line Properties lesson is provided. This is for users who have not completed or need a refresher of the 201 Pattern Shape Functions Course.

 

Group, Lock, Hide (Optional)

A link to the 101 Group, Lock, Hide lesson is provided. This is for users who have not completed or need a refresher of the 101 Pattern Shape Basics Course.

 

Quilting Lines

In this lesson, we will learn how to add quilting lines to a puffy garment using fabric physics and custom quilt line designs in VStitcher.

Topics: Line Properties, Puffy Line, Internal Lines, Pen tool, Clone by Offset, Snap tools, Extend to Edges, Texture Tool, Gizmo, Floating Lines, Group, Lock, Hide

 

Baffle Wall

Reference PDF which explains how to create a baffle wall for puffy garments in VStitcher.

 

Welded Puffy Effect

In this lesson, we will learn how to create a welded puffy jacket in VStitcher by adding markings for welded areas, applying puffy line properties, and adjusting the texture for a realistic look.

Topics: Fabrics, Puffy Physics, Line Properties, Puffy lines, Clone by Offset, Insert Tool, Color Adjustment, PBR Channels, Grid Size, Simulation, Internal Lines

 

Improving the Visual Appearance of Puffy Garments

In this lesson, we will learn how to enhance the visual appearance of puffy garments in VStitcher, covering tips on handling puffy fabrics, line properties for edges and quilt lines, and adjusting grid size for better simulation.

Topics: Puffy Creation, Line Properties, Edge Properties, Force Multiplier, Grid Size, Fabric Physics, Finish Effect, Smart Zipper, Shrink, Fast Mode
