Lace Up - Marvelous Designer/Clo3d Tutorial

hello alright so in this video what I'm going to be showing you is how to make a lace up detail on a shirt or a pant or the side of the shirt even just how to make a lace up detail on any piece of garment clothing fairly painlessly so what I've got here is a dress and what I'm attempting to create is this dress right here now if you've ever used Marvelous Designer or Chloe and try to lay something up you might look at this and think well that's insane and yeah it is a little bit insane but not as insane as you might think and I'm gonna show you the process by which I make Lisa details like this so I've got my two sides here that I'm going to make the placing across and I'm just going to go up to my internal lips tool and create an ellipse about the right size right there right in the middle and then I'm going to go up to my regular internal line tool I'm going to make a vertical line like this now I'm gonna do something a little bit odd here but it's quite important well for me it is because I'm making you know 25 of these probably I think 24 25 grommets down the front anyway what I'm gonna do is I'm going to go and select this vertical internal line and I'm going to change the fold angle to 181 and the reason I do that is because actually I'm gonna change the outside ring to 182 I'm not sure if I'm actually gonna need to have both of those set differently but I ma'am and the reason I do that is because there's no way to group internal lines as a complete group so you can just select one it selects a whole bunch of them but what you can do is you can go up to an internal line and you can right-click on it and you can select all with the same property and you've got full strength fold angle and fold rendering so since I set this to 182 when I have a whole bunch of these grommets selected I won't have to go in and select them all one at a time I can just right click on that and select that fold angle and it will select all them for me and so that's a little way to select a whole bunch of those at the same time now if you're only working with four or five grommets this is probably unnecessary but because I'm working with so many and if you ever are working with that many you can do that so what I'm gonna do now is just take both of those and copy and paste them and I'm gonna zoom out so I can see this entire thing and when I ctrl-c ctrl-v you hold shift that just keeps things vertical and you right-click and that'll bring up this dialog box where you can paste it even intervals so I'm just gonna scroll up and get my interval right that looks about okay 20 okay so just like that and the reason you want to zoom out is obviously because when you're in this dialog box you can't adjust the screen view which is weird that you should be able to adjust that but you can't anyway you get all those down like that now what we've got to do is we've got to cut and so all of these internal these these circles and we've got to cut them out and I do want to cut them I don't want to delete them because they are very important so what you can do is obviously double-click it selects the one double-click again and it will select all of them but the problem is if I try and cut and sew this it's gonna tell me it can't cut them because I've got this vertical line in the middle here so that is why we applied the fold angle so now we can just select this select all with the same property fold angle and that will select just these the round parts and it wants like the vertical parts oh the other thing I'm gonna do is I'm even though I want these symmetrically linked symmetric across I'm not going to I'm going to remove the link editing so they're not symmetrically linked because when you cut these out and when they are symmetrically linked somehow something messes up where a lot of the these little circle cutouts will not symmetrize right correctly and I have a lot of problems with that so and it also just tends to take a lot longer so I'll just do one side and then copy and paste it symmetrically over when I'm finished rather than trying to work on both at the same time so if you have trouble remove the linked editing and just work on one side at a time and then copy and symmetric paste it over when you're finished all right so I'm gonna select all with the same property fold angle now I can cut and sell and it will cut in so those very nicely and I guess it cut and sewed this other side too but I actually don't even want this so I'm not even gonna have that in right now and I think I will just kind of deactivate all this stuff so that it stays in place okay wait a minute I didn't need to delete that at all okay hang on I'm doing it weird also I got a new keyboard which is a little bit more clack e so if it's louder than normal I do apologize I've tried to make it as quiet as I can but I know it's a little annoying I apologize for that um okay so I guess yeah it doesn't matter that they're not symmetrically linked right now actually that is fine so let me just kind of adjust these patterns alright we have little room to work okay now we have these now we're going to do is create the laces and this is not going to be this is a little bit of a cheat but if you try and do it when I work I tend to try and make everything as accurate to real life as possible but this is the one area where I will cheat because it just if you try and have your threads loose in these grommets it just straight up will not work the collisions will just pull them out immediately so what we're going to be doing is sewing single strips so just make your your lace about like you know however why do you want it and one side is going to sew to here and the other side is going to sew to there and so I'm just going to make it about like that and the movies over and positioning it for something like this when especially when you have so many if again if you only have five or six positioning isn't nearly as important when you have but when you have a lot of them positioning becomes very important just so you can keep track of where the sewing goes because it's extremely easy to get confused so a position very important and I will move this down to the bottom here okay now what I'm going to do is I'm going to make this diagonal like this because I will know that that making a diagonal in the 2d window actually doesn't affect anything in the 3d window it could be any direction and it wouldn't change here this is all just for my own visual understanding and it's gonna make things a lot easier so I'm gonna make one this way and then we had a copy and paste this right on top and I'm gonna right click on there and flip it vertically so you've got another one that goes the other way like this and now I'm going to sew this side oops this till here and this year now you'll notice that these sowings don't match up the lengths it doesn't really matter too much for something like this if you really want to be precise you can go in and adjust the the length to match I'm not going to anyway I'm going to sew from here to here and from here to here now one thing I do like to do also when I'm working with a lot is to actually distribute these holes more evenly so they match up in here or they match up just so they're more I have more space so that everything can match up I'll show you what I mean so what I'm gonna do is I'm going to take all of these pieces right here I'm gonna right-click on this bottom one and I'm going to go to distribute and I want to distribute them vertically and then I'm just going to start distributing it like that so about 27.5 and remember it's 27.5 you want to remember that number because you have to do it on this on the other side as well so that should be alright so I'll take all these right click on them distribute vertically and 27.5 alright and that's that's going to allow me to have the room so when I paste here this will always line up these these points right here will line up and line up so you'll always know where the sowing goes because you always know that this sowing is going to go to this piece right here it just makes it much easier so now what I'm going to do is just well first of all let me go ahead and simulate this so that it flies on oops does go so my links are a little bit too long and the other thing I'm gonna do also is turn my particle distance on these pieces down to maybe five let's check that let's go even a little bit lower for and because there are pretty small pieces that's not going to affect things too much in terms of simulation speed okay and these are also too long still but we'll shorten those up later I think this will it be alright let me know I don't want to sew those yet yeah I think I'll make these a little bit smaller right now I'll just shrink those down a bit because this should open up and stretch it out a little bit okay well anyway this this should be okay now I'm just going to again go like this I'm going to copy and paste right to here and because these are correctly oriented you can just go from so from here to here here to here here here and here to here and again make sure you're sewing isn't flipped like make sure your sewing doesn't do that and do it again and and I'm just gonna go all the way up and this is the part where I will fast-forward because it's kind of boring you alright I've got all of these sewn together and now they are as you can see kind of spread out so just gonna grab all these and this shouldn't be too much of a problem when I going to simulate these I'll just strengthen everything so it's like this and this and will strengthen it look not freeze it and simulate and these should fly on without too much trouble I think it should be okay and yeah it's like they worked out pretty well so those all went on the right way now we can go ahead and on so this piece here open it up let the you know the threads do their job now this is pretty good but what we still need to do is I want this to be an over-under no and there are gonna be some strings that will be turned and you can I usually don't worry about this because I like the randomness and the naturalness that it gives you but if you do want to turn these these are actually really hard to try and straighten out but you can take your lasso your your select mesh box tool up here and if there's a better way to do this I'd love to know but this is the only way I know how to do it and then you can kind of try and rotate around the axis like this simulate didn't work so well but that's that's the way you would try and shaitaan' those out but usually I don't again worry too much about it anyway I want these to be over-under so we need to get some of these strings underneath and the other half on top and this is another part that it's a little tedious but it's no it's not gonna be painful to do it's just going to be a repetitive so again I'm going to go up here to my select mesh box and oh this is not the benefit of having them in the X pattern like this because if you had both of them just straight across you would have to select one side and then the other side separately with this you can just select once and go up right up to the cross where they both cross right there and then go over and make sure your simulation is turned off and then you pull that back you pull that back in there and then when you simulate that should okay let's try again and this is just a brute force way of pushing things into the right position okay so now these go to the back and then they come out to the front and so we're just gonna again do this same process all the way down so we're gonna go select up to there and so you can't do this with the simulation on but sometimes it's you know it can mess things up I usually like to turn my simulation off when I do this because it is kind of brute forcing it but anyway that's that's that's process so now we just go down and do it so this is again or we're gonna fast forward because it's just gonna be the same thing you alright now we've got this all laced up and it's looking you can alright so pretty good oh ok so now what we want to concern ourselves with are these the holes that think that the strings go through and obviously they're opaque right now but I don't want to delete these these pieces because they're the only thing holding the strings in place if I delete those those strings to just clip right through so what we're gonna do is just go to our fabric properties and we're gonna add a new fabric just a new fabric and the only thing we need to concern ourselves with is the opacity and we're just going to turn the opacity down to zero on this on this new piece of fabric and then we are going to select all of our little cutouts and we are going to apply that to fabric and now they are completely transparent I like the other important property we need to apply to this fabric this transparent fabric is right down here we want to change the physical property to trim full grain leather and what that's going to do is it's going to just make these little disks fairly rigid and you know so they won't bend very much at all so go ahead and do that and that's just going to help them keep that round shape and now as you can see this is actually a fairly stable thing it's pretty stable and that's that's how you'd thread this now let's put the grommets on because grommets are important too and what's cool about the grommets is even if you're exporting this to something like ZBrush you can and you have a specific type of grommet you want to use you can use it and we're going to be doing it by going into the button menu and just selecting the button and up here you can go down to your shape and you see you've got a lot of button options we want one of the grommet options now you can actually bring in a custom obj if you want a custom grommet on your object and it will and you can use it as a button but for us on for me I'm just gonna be using this default grommet type shape and then what we're going to do is we're going to go ahead and take that and just apply it to one of these grommets to every little cutout and just get it right about in the middle I'm just gonna eyeball this and well the other thing we need to do is of course set up our properties so let's change the width like 1510 if that's right width mm and I'll change this to a metal material as well maybe 11 change the to 11 a little bit bigger okay and now I'm just going to take my button and apply it to every single one of these little cutouts and again this is where I'll fast forward because I'm just putting on a bunch of grommets you okay now we've got our grommets on now you can see a couple problems and you probably are thinking of a couple problems as well first of all there's a fairly large gap in here so we need to fix that and second of all you're thinking well those are buttons buttons are insane with their collisions like you just tap them and they just completely freak out so why you use the buttons well to answer that question all we need to do is go and select all of our buttons and this is again this is important if you want this to work at all turn your collisions off so the collisions are now off nothing will be intersecting with these and also because they are sewn to this trim full-grain leather material which is fairly straight and rigid they will stay flat like this so now to get them in the right position again I'm going to go ahead and select all of these button and select all of these and in the thread links we can actually go negative on our thread length and so because these I think the thickness is three millimeters I'm gonna go for the thread length of negative two well maybe even more negative 2.5 I want to get them fairly flat in there now because the collisions are off these they won't sometimes these strings will kind of intersect with with the grommets but um it should if you get them fairly flush with the fabric it should look pretty good and okay a fairly nice effect and yeah there we go now everything the grommets are stand right where they should moving with fibers and so this all can stretch real nice now obviously because these are sewn into these little cutouts right here the strings can't move freely between themselves there between itself so if you need to lengthen these strains you do have to lengthen them manually so I'm just gonna go go ahead and say I want you know this talk to be open a little bit more so I'm gonna actually just rotate these flats and then you would double-click on that kind of scale them out and again if you have like a big fee shirt with a lace or the string that goes up this way you're gonna want to make the length correct when you make it right at first and then sew them up yeah sometimes this causes problems or that kind of goes out in front but anyway to lengthen them you just kind of scaled them up and down it's it's not the best way but it's it's the way you have to do it when you use this this method right here so anyway that's that's the process I use to create these these this kind of lace up detail on a dress I hope that helps I know I get asked about this a lot and for a long time I I really had no idea how to do this either and so this is just kind of the way I came up with I hope I hope if you've ever wanted to do this you can now do it and make something really cool with this lace up technique um anyway thanks for watching hope you learned something till next time bye
