CLO Standalone

About this release

CLO turns flat pattern making into 3D garment design by draping the patterns onto a virtual body and simulating how the cloth behaves. You build or import the two dimensional sewing pattern, define the seams, and the software stitches and drops it onto an avatar where gravity, the fabric properties and the body shape decide how it hangs, so a garment is seen as a fitted 3D sample rather than imagined from flat pieces.

The simulation is the core of it and it runs in real time. Change a seam, move a dart, or swap the fabric to something with a different weight and drape, and the garment on the avatar re settles immediately, so fitting and styling happen as a conversation with the cloth rather than as a slow render and review loop. The fabric library carries real material properties, so a heavy denim and a light chiffon behave as differently on screen as they would on a body.

The two dimensional pattern and the three dimensional garment are linked, so the flat pattern that produces the sample is the same one that goes to production. That closes the gap between design and manufacturing that a purely visual 3D tool leaves open. This release is the full standalone application unlocked from first launch, with the avatar and fabric libraries present.

What it does

• Flat pattern making linked to the 3D garment it produces
• Real time cloth simulation on a virtual avatar
• Fabric library with real material weight and drape properties
• Seam, dart and topstitch definition reflected live in 3D
• Adjustable avatars for fitting to different body shapes
• Texture and print placement previewed on the draped garment
• Animation for reviewing a garment in motion on a walking avatar
• Tech pack and production ready pattern output
• Import of patterns from flat pattern making tools
• High quality rendering for presentation images

Changes in this version

• Faster simulation on complex layered garments
• Improved fabric property accuracy for stiff materials
• Reworked avatar sizing controls

• Enhanced rendering quality for presentation output

What the package contains

• CLO Standalone installer
• Avatar library
• Fabric property library
• All interface languages
• Readme with the install order written out step by step

Installation notes

Follow these in order. Most reports of a failed install come from skipping a step rather than from the package itself.

1. Disconnect from the network before you begin.
2. Pause real time protection for the duration of the install.
3. Extract the archive to a short path such as C:\Setup.
4. Run setup as administrator and complete the installation.
5. Apply the included activation step before the first launch.
6. Open the application once, then reconnect to the network.

System requirements

Things worth knowing

• The real time simulation leans on the graphics card, a weak GPU turns a complex garment sluggish.
• Layered garments with many pieces are heavy to simulate, budget memory before building them.
• Set the fabric properties to match the real material or the drape on screen will not predict the sample.
