About this course

In this course, you will learn how to work with grading and fitting in 3D.  

You will begin by learning how to import graded patterns, add grading to a pattern, and pair an avatar size set for simulating a size run. Next, discover how to utilize the pressure and tension map to evaluate fit. Then practice along with the workflow videos to make fit corrections by applying new and previously learned pattern adjustment tools.

Check your retention throughout the course with two knowledge quizzes.

Sizes & Grading

In this lesson, we will gain an understanding of sizes and grading in VStitcher.

Topics: import DXF and RUL table, preview graded nest, align grade by grainline, autograde ungraded internal elements, show nested grading, simulate graded pattern, size tab, set grade point, add sizes, delete sizes, rename size, set base size

 

 

How to Grade a Garment From Scratch

In this workflow, we will be sharing how we can grade a garment in VStitcher.

Topics: Add size biggest, add size smallest, drag grade point in 2D window, grade X and Y axis, set increment, adjacent edge measurement, copy grading, paste X, paste Y, paste XY, relative to base, flip X, flip Y, flip XY, set static

 

How to Pair an Avatar Size Set with a Graded Garment

In this workflow, we will gain an understanding of how to pair an avatar size set with a graded garment.

 

Topics: pair avatar size set, share avatar size set

Fitting Functions

 

Tension & Pressure Map

In this lesson, we will gain an understanding of the tension & pressure map.

Topics: view tension map, view pressure map, how to read tension & pressure map, tension & pressure map and fabric type, tension & pressure map with poses, tension map during simulation

 

Validating & adjusting Fit using Stitch Release

In this workflow, we will be sharing how to apply the stitch release function to validate and adjust a garment's fitting.

 

Topics: view tension map, view pressure map, stitch release, 3D measure tape to measure gap, slice, rotate, merge, replace pieces

 

3D Garment Fitting - Example 1

In this workflow, we will be sharing the application of pattern tools to fit a sports bra and a pair of pants.

 

Topics: view tension map, view pressure map, release stitch, slash and spread, add dart, slice, rotate, merge, replace pieces, 3D measure tape, always show, hide piece, replace texture with grid

 

3D Garment Fitting - Example 2

In this workflow, we will be sharing another example of using pattern tools to fit a jacket and a pair of leggings.

 

Topics: view tension map, view pressure map, fabric transparency, fit markers avatar texture, multi-move, pen tool in 3D, 2D measure, trace changes
