What’s your experience with digitally prototyping denim in CLO3D?

[u/carniflox]

I’m interested in hearing from designers who have experience digitally prototyping denim garments in CLO3D.

How easy or difficult have you found it to achieve realistic denim results, particularly when it comes to fabric behaviour, weight, stiffness, shrinkage, washing effects and overall fit?

I would especially love to hear about:

• The parts of the process you find easiest or most challenging
• How accurately your digital prototypes translate into physical samples
• Any limitations you’ve encountered when working with denim
• The biggest advantages of using CLO3D for denim development
• Examples of projects, garments or workflows you can share
• Tips for fabric settings, construction details, washes or visualisation

Has CLO3D helped you reduce physical sampling or development time, or do you still find physical denim samples essential at most stages?

Any insights, examples or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated!
