“Simply Cloth Pro 3” is an add-on that simplifies fabric-related work such as clothing using Blender | CGinterest

Introducing the Blender add-on “Simply Cloth Pro” by Vjaceslav Tissen, whose latest update was released on November 17, 2023 (local time).

Simply Cloth Pro

Simply Cloth Pro is a tool to speed up fabric-related tasks in Blender.

This add-on is designed to simplify and simplify the setup process for a faster and more user-friendly workflow. Since you can simply choose from the presets and customize them easily, you don’t need extensive knowledge of physical canvas settings, and even beginners can use them.

It’s also designed to speed up your workflow more than the simulation itself, and is a useful tool for quickly setting up and testing canvas objects in Blender.

You can see how the addon works in the following video.

The latest update, Simply Cloth Pro 3, brings features like drawing fabric clusters, skin stretching, and geometric knots to help you add detail and precision to cloth objects without sculpting or simulation.

Main characteristics

Simplify parameters

Many parameters have been simplified and reduced to basic parameters such as: These parameters will give you exactly the desired effect.

Bake to the main frame

You can convert canvas simulations to keyframes and make the animation a keyframe animation.

Pin layer system

Create and control pin layers in real time. You can create multiple pinned layers and pin or unpin each layer individually using the slider.

Drawing an intersecting set Face set extraction

You can easily draw on your character, extract that drawing as an object from the canvas, and modify it using Canvas Enhancement.

Paste on the cloth

You can select things like pockets and stick them on fabric objects

Tight skin | Tightened skin of the selected area

You can set selections directly in edit mode as narrow objects. This feature is ideal for tight clothing such as swimwear and shorts.

Create clothes directly without modeling by drawing the desired area on your character or any object and choosing a marker. All of these functions are also available through the Crossset feature.

Optimal fabric

Optim Cloth creates a copy and attaches it to the simulation object. It accepts simulation data but does not calculate it itself, so you can make objects high-resolution and add a lot of detail without affecting the speed of the simulation. This optimized canvas helps you maintain the canvas’s performance for basic-resolution objects and apply that information to high-resolution objects.

Cloth improvements

A new feature that uses geometric nodes, Fabric Enhancements, allows you to add detail to clothing and fabric objects. Additional adjustments can be easily turned on/off. This feature can be used during or after the simulation and does not edit the mesh.

Sculpting brush presets

Easy access to Blender’s canvas sculpting brushes.

sewing

■ Sewing assistance
Count the number of picks needed to make a clean stitch.

■ Automatic sewing (scanning)

After you finish sewing the fabric, just press this button to automatically close the seams of simple items. If multiple layers intersect, it can cause network problems.

■ Cut and sew edges (wipe)
Select an edge in edit mode to cut and sew directly with one click.

Convenient editing functions

■Forex wind

You can add wind effects to the canvas.

Over 150 patterns to cut and sew (optional)

An optional library of over 150 patterns for cutting and sewing is available.

Installation method

Pricing and system requirements

Simply Cloth Pro 3 is available for Blender version 2.9-4.0. Although not specified, functions that use geometry nodes appear to require the latest version of Blender.

Pricing is $36 for the add-on only, and $45 for the additional cutting and sewing pattern library.

A full commercial license (up to 5 seats) that allows you to use the add-on with all related assets in any commercial product costs $420.
