How to import photos to knock off and trace in CLO 3D software

yeah i like that one okay did i download those hopefully okay so now let's go to khloe move some of my stuff out of the way um okay i think i only need 2d open right now okay so file um i guess import [Music] see here okay we have to make fabric and then we import it uh as a graphic on the fabric because lisa you said you watched his videos already yeah i forgot i think that's really what they did so i'm gonna zoom out a little bit let's see here i know we don't have our avatar so um yeah what oh no not to reset my freaking thing oh gosh dang it okay um okay so you'll start i guess with a really big piece of fabric so i'm using my pattern drafting tool now again we want to make sure we know the difference between each tool the first one can draw fabric the second one can draw internal lines and the third one does baselines um so we're going to make a big square of fabric and then we're going to add our photo on the fabric and then we're going to use an internal tool to trace it okay so let me clear all of that clear and get rid of that okay so how big is that piece i don't know let's see i'm not even sure this is probably way too big but some have an avatar open i probably should have clicked it one time to type in the measurement oh well okay so to add an image we use this little tool right here the graphic one and we can add an image in it so which one the t-shirt one right okay let me circle it okay that guy uh okay yeah so let's give that a shot okay click and it's gonna be like okay what graphic do you want um this one i just downloaded say open now it's like where do you want it i mean i guess i'll just click it in the middle okay how big is it wow that's super big um i know because your cameras just take really big pictures so roughly how big is it would you say is it like like less than 20 inches right actually well the length of it because it's all one panel um is roughly 30 roughly 37 inches oh that is long okay cool it's about well the widest point is probably down at the bottom okay roughly 10 inches wide okay so i mean i don't know i'm just kind of maybe so i guess the picture was good at 50 inches i don't know let's say okay um and then there it is okay so there it is so now we can use our edit graphic tool i mean we can rotate it i'm gonna hold shift so that it rotated exactly 90 degrees and then now we got to figure out how to resize this guy so okay so um maybe a good thing to do and i think the videos have different ways of how they suggest it um so what but what comes in my head is to make a rectangle probably an internal one um and i'll just click one time like let me go in here click uh one time and then i can say okay i want my rectangle to be one inch by one inch i'll say okay okay there it is it's over here so now i'm going to move that rectangle i'm going to use the letter a tool to scooch it let's see here and let's see how close i am zoom in guy oh that was really close oh wow there's my photos actually pretty close okay so my photo is definitely larger because if my rectangle is one inch this ruler has 13 to 14 and 14 is bigger than one inch right so i need to resize this photo so it matches my sweater um so i'll use now i used this tool to place the photo i have to use this guy to edit it because it has a little white arrow okay so let's see if i can do that click that guy click it ah so annoying because it's so big there we are so maybe what i should do because it's not that big of a difference like yes i know i can click and drag like right here but that's going to be like way huge difference and i don't want to do that because i was actually pretty close so maybe what i'll do i'll select my photo and then i'll go into the property editor and i feel like it'll tell us how big it is here so let's figure that out okay looks like right now it's 50 inches so i just needed a little bit smaller what if i just try like uh 49 inches and wait oh is it gonna make it so much a fuller now i hope it does oh no it didn't i don't undo okay i need it oh lock okay so you have to have um the lock aspect ratio button turned on and if this is turned on if i change the width number it'll also automatically change the height and keep it proportional so that's very important to do otherwise you might end up with like squishy shapes okay it's clear all dry okay so i'm gonna check that there we go now when i go click the picture i can type in i'm going to try like 48 inches and like my 37 and a half change to 36. okay i'm going to zoom in and let's look at my letter a so i can grab my internal line how are we doing are we closer we put on number 13. i know but it's still way too big okay cool so i'm going to click the picture again um i'm going gonna get my edit tool my graphic edit tool i'm gonna click it i think i clicked it i don't even think i have to zoom in to be honest with you and let's i'm gonna change to 48 what if i go a little more aggressive and do 40 inches and hit return okay i'm going to now switch to the letter a tool so i can select my internal line i'm going to bring it over now i'm on 12 oh that's good look at that wouldn't you say the ruler in my internal line match so that means this guy he's good to go he's he's to scale so we can get our internal line tool um and draw it so let's see here what's i don't want to figure out the halfway point [Music] that's fine okay so let's get our instead of the rectangle i'm going to switch to letter g the internal polygon line i'll start at center front i'm going to click one time and i'm going to hold shift and go straight down okay now i know this is not really wavy it's just as wavy probably because it's been washed or it's just sewn the way it is um i know that it's probably going to be a curved line so to draw a curved line i think it's you hold command yeah on a mac it's command on a pc it's the button right next to the space bar and i'm going to click here um i'm going to hold command again so it's kind of curved i wonder if i can click and drag oh no click and drag it doesn't oh it kind of worked yeah you can click and drag also so those of you guys that know illustrator to get a curve you can either hold the button next to the spacebar or click and pull your mouse and that will get some curves i'm going to click right here that's not curved click right here because that's not curved i'm going to try clicking and dragging at the net so i can see my little preview line it's straight click and drag no that did not work edit undo oh oh no that's okay i should have just hit backspace okay i'll just do it again click i'm gonna do click and drag click kind of like clicking and dragging more now okay because i like those handlebars click maybe i'll do a click and drag right here and then a click right there okay let's see what that looks like so now i can go in with my edit tool the letter z i can zoom in um i need to reset my settings since i just read it clo and i have the power to kind of change some of my angles if i think any of them are kind of weird you know we can do it later um and this is kind of just knowing patterns like your hem should be a 90 degree angle at center front for a little bit oh we learned a new feature if you click that anchor point can't we can um oh it doesn't have it remember that when it had merged to 90 degree it's actually a tool is it a tool oh where's the tool under the edit pattern tool oh yay okay is it was it one of these or no [Music] yeah it was i believe it's the transform point or segment oh okay cool so this guy maybe i had to um hold on to both hold shift oh my god that's gonna bug me okay maybe it can't be an internal line maybe has to be a pattern piece we'll come back to that okay so okay so here's my pattern um so but it's actually not a pattern it's just an internal line so we how do we get to a pattern piece do you guys know trace trace yeah that's our trace tool looks like little pockets so i'm going to click that okay i'm going to try to as soon as i get rid of the annotate there we are click okay so i can click that all right i'm holding shift i'm clicking all these lines okay that's all good right click trace as pattern all right and zoom it out i'm gonna put it over here on my board okay there it is that's my pattern piece um not a bad idea to name it especially if you have a lot so maybe like center front bodice so you know um and let's see if i can find that uh right click tool i was so excited about the letter [Music] yes i guess you can only do it in patterns you can't do it internal lines but if i click this point because usually center front if it's going to be unfolded you really want this to be a 90 degree angle otherwise sometimes it looks like crazy or kind of weird so if you click that point you can right click and say perpendicular pattern corner i like it for at least a half an inch and i'll say okay so now it's going to be perfectly 90 degree angle which is good even out of that little thing um you only need that at center front you should actually also have it at the neckline as well that guy right click perpendicular pattern corner 0.5 okay cool um overall i'm pretty happy with this pattern piece now so i'm just going to leave it and go to the next one so you'd have to i guess really if i go back here yeah sorry what was the step before that like are you adding 0.5 oh sure um i was making sure that my angle ah like so when i unfold it and right click and just say unfold um oh that's why it happened sorry fix this thing is there a segment here what's going on oh huh why is that not unfolding it was weird not until it can be applied oh i wonder why ah why can you not be applied that's odd that's really weird why is it because we did the corners the 90 degree corners let me try that weird maybe that's why okay oh symmetric pattern ah um well i'm gonna hit i guess get rid of those symmetric corners that i did oh that's still there okay the symmetric corners are gone select this guy right click unfold so you know what maybe adding the symmetric corners are bad because it wouldn't let me unfold it um that's interesting oh that's good to know i guess huh that's kind of weird i'm surprised that does that but anyways we just don't want it to be pointy and so it's nice if like this angle right here is is oops it's not that dear um if from like right here to here if it's like 90 degrees because sometimes if it's at an angle when you unfold it it starts to look kind of pointy and funky i'm exaggerating right here this one's okay but if you it's a good pattern habit to anytime you have a center front just make sure it's a perfect 90 degree angle at the corners when you unfold it it's straight for a little bit and then it curves just for knowledge sake i want to know how to do that so i'm not going to do that here but uh yeah how would i make it straight um you can get a ruler a ruler's good um but i guess you mean in khloe and khloe you can just select the point and right click so like right here if we wanted like maybe the neckline sometimes we also like to have it straight the neckline you can just right click and say perpendicular pattern corner and it'll change it and you can just say well how long do you want to be perpendicular for i said half an inch so yeah so maybe i can do it right here too right click okay yeah perpendicular i guess you can do it after you unfold it 0.5 there we go so oh no i like it i don't know why it's not working huh okay well whatever might not be the best advice to use that tool so you guys are struggling just don't do it and just visually make sure it looks good okay so i have one pattern done honestly you guys i don't need this thing anymore so i'm gonna select it and i'm gonna hit delete gone i don't care now i'm going to pick a new one so i'll click the t-shirt again you need another window i'm going to go find the next picture right the next one yeah do you want me to do the next one as well cool yeah sure i'll pick that one i'll delete this guy that's actually the same one and let's go to chat how about this actually do you want to share screen and you do the next one sure let's do that because okay so i'm gonna say stop share make sure doing this right okay so i have just my 2d window open right yeah that's all you need for now and then i would use my rectangle tool to create a fabric yeah you got it okay and we want to keep the height somewhere around the 50 inches i thought 50 inches was huge it could be smaller but it worked so why not it doesn't matter so then the end of the day we're going to delete that fabric anyways we're just kind of using it so we can trace it and then turn those into pattern pieces off of it so it doesn't really matter okay and then i used my graphic pattern yes correct okay um yep nice let me just center it in there i just click to set it in and yeah okay cool okay so it's really big maybe we make your fabric bigger um so how do we do that yeah that's a good idea try that did i just pull it out try it yeah that worked it worked good that was intuitive i'm like oh boy they're gonna give us trouble and like stretch your picture no they didn't okay good perfect lovely okay so then edit texture no transform texture yeah yes correct i don't remember how i rotate this oh look right there you see the arrows if you click and drag you can turn it now hold shift so it only turns like nine exactly in the 90 degree angle perfect okay now what are we gonna do what's next important thing to do was making a rectangle the one inch yeah that's what i would do is let's get a marker of something that actually is one inch by one inch and then we'll work to get the photo to match cool oh you drew a pattern piece um will it let you put that pattern piece on top of the photo or is it going to give you trouble probably going to give me trouble um because you could do an internal line instead of a pattern piece i don't think it likes it when patterns overlap each other no it didn't care okay good good perfect good to know cool okay cool so how close are we let's look at this oh an internal line might have been smarter because you're right [Music] so your ruler's at an angle do you want to turn that square to also be at an angle you're pretty close your photo isn't it yeah i'm about what is that 3 8 off yeah oh my god this is such good math so like right now it's definitely bigger than the inch but it's like it's almost yeah you're saying three eighths oh my gosh so what if you make your photo like i don't know what what what is a 5 8 percentage wise like 65 or something so you could select your image and then when you rescale it choose 65 percent i wonder if that would do it or you can just do what i do and just kind of knock off a few inches and look at it and go back and kind of go back and first trial here all right so let's see edit yes and select the thing i think your image is selected now what yeah i don't remember i think we have to type in the number and it will let you in the proper property editor yeah right kind of at the bottom a little bit yeah graphic configuration graphics for transformation i love that you're locking your aspect okay stop real quick um oh do you wanna do that command spacebar tool you taught me oh yeah sure okay she's on a mac and then type in calculator or you can just type in the number oh so what if you say 56 times .65 that's times unit by stick because i think 5 8 is like 0.65 something i don't know okay so 36 what if you type in 36.5 inches and that seems really small i don't know if that's going to work but let's try it in width or height oh yeah you know what i changed my i don't think it matters because it's your lock aspects gonna be okay so oh yeah so with yeah with because i use the width number what was the number that we did again 36 6.5 we what was it thirty thirty six yeah point five okay let's see if this works trying to do math um 36.5 okay get your square let's see if we're close or not i love that you switched to the letter a tool hey that's pretty good so it's um now your picture's a little bit too small a hair too small maybe you go back and just make it like we made it a lot smaller we took off like 15 inches didn't we what if you just made it like one inch bigger professor could you please repeat on how you arrived at 36.5 yeah i did math so i will explain it but if it's like kyla i don't want to do fractions or percentages leave me alone i will not force you because i've just seen the struggle of math some people like so another thing is just trial and error so when i did it i was like oh it's at 56 i'm going to try 54 and i went and looked i was like oh that wasn't really a big difference maybe instead of 54 i'll do like 45 and it was way closer you know so i just put in random numbers and saw if it was close or not that could be faster but the math thing what i did was um she has a ruler right there and i felt like her square i wish her square was like a more round number but it was like at 5 8. she's like oh i can see 3 8. like it just needs to be 3 8 bigger so i was like okay so it's at 5 8 right now i don't even know how i did this but um but let's say it was like so i knew that it it needed to just be smaller percentage-wise and i just didn't know how to explain that um like uh here um yeah i don't even know my brain's like what how did i do that so like right now her square fits the the one inch perfectly you took the the measurement that was um already here in the width yeah yeah in the well let me get back into the tool so the width i would explain it go ahead okay so you took the the width here which was 50 50 something yeah and then multiplied it by 0.625 which is 5 8 yeah and it came up with 36.5 which was just a hair small so we just went up i just added an inch so instead of 36.5 i did 37.5 and huzzah we are on point yes the way yeah i was gonna say it's like right now you're at 37 and right now it fits perfect so like if i want to get the picture to change i would say oh 100 like the picture should be at times 100 percent and because that's just time to one there's no change but so i just don't look at the percentages so i want to double it or less i don't know or just putting random numbers until it matches faster so okay so i'm like can we like work with the math department and make this a math ge class like kind of get it more official and then you guys don't have to take math just like that is a wise comment it would make more sense sometimes okay cool okay so we like the scale of this guy so now you can get to work tracing it well before you trace it though what do you have to do in chloe i keep saying tracing because like by hand you just go trace it but like really what tool do you have to use in chloe internal draw tool yeah do you know the keyboard shortcut g yeah very good i'm all about shortcuts i know me too all right so luckily it has clear seam lines so here's the armhole here now real quick this is totally fine but um i might argue like uh oh it's a little wrinkly right and that's okay like that's hard to get that straight so you might end up changing that seam line to be something more like the green line i drew just you just you weren't able to get it super flat totally okay like that's that's just hard to do especially with princess seams right like this is such a three-dimensional garment yeah so because of that wiggle and just because of my experience i know this is probably going to be the shape of your armhole so just look out for those wiggles um basically what would happen is like as you trace this guy when you go to fit it you're going to know this is weird and you're going to analyze your shape and when you do a fitting you're going to probably change the shape you know to be a little bit more straight so okay you're clicking and dragging to get a curve i like it i should probably out so i can see what i'm doing these graphic prints are so nice because you can really see the grain line right like just going straight up and down catching all those diamonds right in the middle so you really know that it's on grain that's cool very nice wow that's cool how it butts out see that how it like really kicks out yeah that's what gives you some like a little swing at the hem fullness there and again now the whole bottom thing um i went the wrong way i'm totally fine if you just you know me like if you kind of fake it to make it you know draw your own curve you always have to trace it perfectly especially if it's like thin wash it kind of shrunk a little it's kind of funky shape you know that's part of chewing it up is sort of cleaning up the bottom as opposed to like trying to trace it like oh right like you don't want to hem like the green line i just drew you definitely want to kind of clean it up so that it's smooth i know we're so lucky though that we do get to see this sewn up on chloe we don't have to do all this work and then plate this like your funky shape right here we did this by hand oh my gosh none of the students would know it's funny until after they sewed it up like why does it look so weird and they wouldn't know how to fix it it just it's cool that we get to see it sewn up and close right away and go play with our pattern shape back and forth i did uh something with the swimsuit like it's like it was like this and like feels like this like you're like ah you know i think i didn't waste like eight hours of my life cutting that out and sewing it up then you just go fix the pattern real quick and see what happens i gotta admit i've knocked off a few things and this is probably the easiest it has ever been oh yeah i like hearing that i i'm not super happy that um this is going straight up and down i really feel like it's it's probably gonna but maybe you'll figure that out during your fitting i feel like this line oh it's definitely gonna need to curve it's not a straight line yeah yeah so anyways that's just good but that's okay if you're just tracing it for now you can just true it up later well so good i love right now do you have two pattern pieces drawn oh no now you have to trace it okay cool so i know i have her other pattern piece but the next step that we should do is true up the seams that get sewn together so the only seam that gets sewn together i guess is the princess seam so we want to check the length and match them now the thing with princess scenes is sometimes one princess seam is a little longer than the other one you guys remember that from a notebook sample yeah we like rotated a dart on purpose so that one of the princess seams was longer if the one that's longer is the one on the side and so that way when you sew it you're easing it so it can be anywhere from like half an inch to maybe a full inch which is kind of hard so um but normally when we true up our seams we want them exactly the same length so you would do that in chloe with letter z right click and change length and get them cleaned up as best you can okay there you go maybe name it while you're at it before they start getting confusing like this is the front back what is this guy yeah uh professor the name would be visible only when we take a snapshot um it can be sometimes i'm not always so i like that she's putting it under information in the property editor um it can't be let's see here why don't we find out um will you go lisa to file um snapshot 2d pattern um aha let's see here under options will you go to show additional information that means class is always over there's like a little check thing there yeah pattern name so as long as you have pattern names checked it will show the pattern names when you do a snapshot yeah a question so do we have to save those things professor or just uh it will be saved automatically left side panel after writing that it will get stored automatically oh cause it wrote it right here well yeah it's only there because she put it in the property editor so yeah so i don't know if it'll always say you can say yeah i don't know um no i think it won't like this is just what the snapshot is going to look like and then it'll go away so say cancel right now if you want to see it while you're working you want to do that in the toggle menu so probably under info try that let's see here there's the first one yeah there you go now it shows it while you're working that's probably helpful so you can see it while you're working yeah throw anything else you want it so much info your main line all that good stuff cool um okay so this module tracing all those things and then i don't know am i having you i don't even remember if i'm having you treated up this i know i'm not having you sew it up you don't have to sew it up yet believe it or not i know everyone's really tempted like oh let's see what it looks like um you get rid of that i think all i want you to do is trace them all i think i want you to true them up oh wait oh you're in that thing um will you go to the back to go down to the bottom of that and hit um back or previous i'm sorry yeah and scroll down kind of to the bottom up a little bit more oh is this a pom one oh shoot sorry okay go back to forward to the next one i was i don't know what i was thinking okay scroll down okay oh yeah number ten i do want you to true up the pattern pieces so just check that each length is anything that gets sewn together they're the same length and kind of clean it up and make it look as nice and then um next module we're gonna sew it up yeah in module nine and then i'll show you how to check the poi measurements next week so when we take a snapshot of the tunes um oh my gosh that's really good it should huh i didn't say that that's a good idea yeah [Music] okay um i'm gonna go change the designer right now so when you do your snapshot go back to snapshot on khloe see how you have showing all your line lengths so go to file snapshot and it's one of the boxes you check but the only thing is though it has all those segments but whatever but yeah that is a good idea um so where it's that you have line links check i should make that mandatory so that i can visually see you treat it up that's our way to grade cool yay okay yeah that's brilliant okay cool that's it guys we ran out of time so that's what we're doing this module you know it's a lot but it's pretty cool to be able to do it once you know how make some cool stuff so yeah all right carla you've been quiet do you have any questions no i don't i just been looking okay this is recorded which is good i actually might post this recording and for the demo in the class i might cut it up and do that since yeah i guess we didn't have a good demo yet all right guys i will see you next week i'm gonna get ready for my next class and yeah i mean if you have questions always also see you next week thank you bye bye
