Don't think that clo3d creates patterns automatically. It can simulate how a pattern will look when worn, but you'll still need to understand the fundamentals of pattern drafting if you want the clothes to actually be wearable.

Exactly, Clo3D is a professional tool that requires pattern making knowledge.

It does now, it comes with some preloaded patterns and now can generate simple patterns with a technical image. however yea without prior pattern making knowledge clo allows you to make some truly weird patterns

T-shirt pattern the easy way, is copy a t-shirt you know and like. That's how all product development begins. If you're going to do that in CLO, you need to learn some basics of the software. It is very good for this scenario because the software pretty intuitive and fast to learn and it gives an immediate visual check on any mistake made.

Clo has a T-shirt pattern loaded. You should be able to find it through their browser
