VS 201: Styling & Simulation
Enhance your skills in garment styling and simulation
In this course, you will learn about styling and simulation and be introduced to methods for applying these functions. After completing this course, you will be able to use advanced styling tools, refine garment drape and improve simulation.
You will begin learning advanced arrangement and styling tools and how to adjust your garment grid. Next, use the advanced styling tools to style a hood up and down drape. Add knowledge though tips and tricks for identifying and troubleshooting garment simulation.
Check your retention throughout the course with two knowledge quizzes.
Test your knowledge by completing the garment creation activity and checking your work with the activity review video.
