22 Jan Harry Hosts Free Introduction to Style3D

On 18th January, FTA tutor Harry Mack hosted a free introductory Zoom session on designing with Style3D software.

The aim of this 1-hour masterclass was to demonstrate the basics of the Style3D Studio and how fast and effective the software is. From creating your own personalised avatar, featuring numerous inputted measurements and styling details, to drawing pattern pieces and manipulating your design. Harry demonstrated to 19 SME’s how fast a flat design can be transformed into a 3D piece along with highly realistic fabric draping, tension and texture. The software truly is impressive and the session gave attendees, including FC Designer Workspace designers and students, the chance to see how it all works and ask questions.

Harry currently runs a Style3D 3-day beginners course at Fashion-Enter’s Styleverse Innovation Center in Haringey. Over the 3-days attendees can explore how the software can inform design processes and shape the development of digital garments. Harry guides step-by-step so that attendees learn how to create their own bespoke avatar, learn how use garment blocks and adapt them, as well as how to select digital fabrics and apply them to projects. As demonstrated the course shows how to use a range of digital sewing tools, including adding zips and pockets, and how to present final designs on the catwalk.

Previous Style3D learner, Ankita said: “Harry’s Style3D training offered a captivating exploration of pattern adaptation, providing me with a profound understanding of visual representation. The insights gained in this session are invaluable, especially in the context of developing garments or creating promotional material for a campaign.”

At the end of the session attendees asked questions on pattern grading and importing digital databases, all were impressed and thanked Harry for the preview.

The 3-day course is held in small groups to ensure individual attention and for those that sign-up there is the additional bonus of free, exclusive Style3D Studio access for up to three months.
