3D Fashion Case Study - The North Face Bag

Garments are created and simulated in marvelous designer, importing trims modeled in Zbrush (or CAD
- Moi3D/Rhino).
The entire workflow will rely on the naming convention defined here. A first UV pass is also created to help texture proportions later.

Zbrush 2021 the new dynamic thickness feature is absolutely crucial in the workflow!
FJtools plugin is also an efficiency life saver when dealing with complex scenes (more than 175 subtools in this scene).

Substance Source amazing library of materials for 3D fashion. A game changer!
