GLBKimono Style Outfit (CLOSED)
268
Hello, everyone!
Here is my work in progress (WIP) for the contest.
Unfortunately, I discovered this competition quite late, which limited the time I could spend using 3D tools to their fullest potential. As a result, I primarily relied on Clo3D, my favorite software, where I feel most confident.
I knew right away what kind of outfit I wanted to bring to life. As someone who is really into Japanese street style and gothic looks, I decided to create a reinterpreted kimono along with some complementary accessories.
Here is what my references looked like:
Creating the basics:
I edited preset properties to achieve the appearance of heavy silk, which is typically used for original kimonos, and to get realistic folds:
Sleeve jacket and knee socks were created in separate projects because it takes forever to simulate when the particle distance is so low:
Working on details:
1. The bow and the knot were also made in Clo3D. I saved them as a trim and added them to the original project file
2. The straps are made using ring trims and buttons
3. I stenciled the clasp using Clo3D and then made corrections in Blender
Approximate final look:
I decided to create the fabric material myself. The biggest challenge was choosing a color palette
Making basic heels in Blender:
For character I used DAZ Studio:
Outfit obj in blender, no retopo:
Final result and texturing (done in Clo3D):
Final render:
Preparing a runway, also in Clo3D, of course
Runway shots:
I hope you all will like it, and good luck to the other participants!

I love these outfits, great job.
Jobs like this keep pushing me to master Marvelous more and more.

Hello, I am 'that' person who feels strongly compelled to point out that it would seem more reasonable to call it a riff on a cheongsam than something kimono. The cut and fit has very little in common with kimono and the sleeves belonging to a separate bolero contributes to this (hairstyle is also a chinese stereotype). But I guess kimono is more algo-friendly than street qipao/cheongsam or whatever, do what you like of course.
Looks cute anyways, nice job!

Mon, Aug 07, 2023Hi, thank you! Yeah, it's a sort of mixture of different elements, and naming it kimono isn't authentically correct, but it gave me kimono vibes because of the belt and the wrap. I assure you there was no intention to cause any disrespect towards cultural clothing or traditions. I am actually really interested in traditional clothing and fashion development, so if you have any resources to explore, I would be happy if you share

I don't have any one perfect source, and as someone who has spent quite a lot of time researching the topic for a project I wish I could say to have found one. But a cursory look at a kimono pattern and a video/instruction of someone putting one on explains a lot. Modern fashions and western appropriation for hundreds of years don't necessarily respect [what is today viewed as] the customary way to wear it, but the kimono remains a wrapped garment. Anything else probably wouldn't make sense. Wrapping garments in MD/Clo can be a pain in the ass, so cutting and sewing them together to fake it totally makes sense. But in that case you shouldn't really end up with side seams, front darts wouldn't make sense/work, and revealing both legs symmetrically would probably get weird. None of this would be a problem on a cheongsam though, and your pattern is very close to a typical cheongsam in my view.
Since your pattern is so close to a cheongsam and so far from a kimono, it might look to someone like you think a cheongsam is a kind of kimono. I don't think you're at any serious risk of actually offending someone, but if you posted this on twitter ("X" lol) maybe someone would attack you! Just a friendly heads up. Wish you all the best

I have watched steam where artist explains everything about kimono construction and he made EVERYTHING from underwear and tabi to obi in MD, so there were 4 (!) layers, I would have so much patience...

But yeah haha, and then just tying an obi 'accurately' ends up being like 6 or so stacked fabric layers considering it should be folded over before being wrapped. Cue hours long simulation wrestling match... It should work damn it!
Stay sane
