Last week I presented my first immersive art composition in @unrealengine - greatly inspired by physical garments of excisting Fashion brands.

After many hours of studying and applying complex and detailed garment setups in @marvelous designer - I feel I'm ready for the next step; introducing my own design concepts for MetaVerse Fashion items. Mixing (street)art, architecture and techwear with emotional- raw -and surreal storylines.

This mix will require an 'unconventional' use of software packages like Marvelous Designer - creating the shapes of hard surface 'deconstructed' 3D patterns - materialising these with soft tactile cloth - to be simulated and worn as a realtime protective cloak.

Below is the result so far - starting with hand sketching my first ideas - adding some visual references and layering in Photoshop - translating the 2D concept to 3D volumes - doing some very early material- and lighting tests in @substance

Next step is to convert these 3D volumes to 2D garment patterns - sewing them together and simulate towards the hard angle appearance - in short: massively raising the complexity bar in Marvelous Designer😉

Stay tuned and let me know what you think!
