CLO Virtual Fashion has partnered with Substance by Adobe, tool for creating textures for 3D content, Jeanologia, Spain-based company which specialises in finishing technology solutions for denim, and ColorDigital, pioneer in faultless and expedient colour and surface communication, for the release of CLO 6.0. CLO is a leader in 3D fashion design software.
The integrations allow for brands and designers to achieve the flawless workflow they’ve desired by optimising the entire 3D design process from start to finish and enabling them to sustainably create digital designs that are an exact 1:1 representation of the physical end product.CLO Virtual Fashion has partnered with Substance by Adobe, tool for creating textures for 3D content, Jeanologia, Spain-based company which specialises in finishing technology solutions for denim, and ColorDigital, pioneer in faultless and expedient colour and surface communication, for the release of CLO 6.0.

Since CLO’s inception in 2009, they have been dedicated to cultivating a more creative and sustainable landscape for apparel industries. Each release, they get closer to their mission of virtualising every single garment on earth, transforming the way we produce and consume garments, and organising all garment related data to make it useful. With the software’s accelerated simulation engine and unique features, they offer users of CLO, Substance by Adobe, Jeanologia, and ColorDigital robust capabilities that will revolutionise their entire design process, according to a press release by CLO.
“By providing practical and seamless workflows with Substance by Adobe, Jeanologia and ColorDigital, CLO users can now extend their design continuity to its fullest with their beloved applications. We are extremely thrilled to work with accredited partners to bring augmented value to our users,” Simon Kim, CEO of CLO said.
“We are excited to collaborate with CLO and empower designers to push the fashion industry forward with 3D technology that expands the definition of what’s possible. The Substance integration unlocks the ability to iterate on materials instantly, present photorealistic designs, and discard unwanted prototypes without any waste. CLO designers are guaranteed an unprecedented level of control and realism and we are eager to see what they will create,” Francois Cottin, director of 3D & AR marketing at Adobe said.
The Substance by Adobe integration allows users to import Substance SBSAR files directly into the CLO software, expressing textures and materials more realistically than ever before through physical based rendering technology. These material properties can be customised and edited by the designer, taking true-to-life virtual simulation in 3D apparel design to the next level.
With the Jeanologia integration, brands and designers are able to apply a .jean file created in eDesigner directly onto CLO’s garments to visualise and render denim finishes, and then send it straight to a laser machine to begin production using eMark, Jeanologia’s software that is installed in the laser machine.
Developed by ColorDigital and supported by the German Fashion Institute, the DMIx Cloud is a cloud-based solution created to achieve hyper-realistic digitised materials. The DMIx Cloud allows global designers and suppliers to share information at the highest possible level in terms of colour and surface textures of fabrics. Through this new integration, designers and brands using CLO are able to drag and drop textures and colours from the DMIx Cloud that is accessible via web browser and apply these directly to their garments in the CLO software with all visual factors of the fabric taken into account.
“Today more than ever we need to implement digitisation in our industry. Design, digital collection and 3D virtual reality are going to be key to recovery. With the integration of eDesigner and CLO, we are able to make the dreams of designers a reality by connecting designers with wash developers and brands with manufacturers. It will be a complete transformation in the jeans industry,” Josep Maria Carbonell, software developer director at Jeanologia said.
“With this partnership we enable the 3D Artist to use the libraries of their suppliers by a simple drag and drop of the material from the DMIx Cloud directly on to their creations. This being done while keeping the full DMIx quality in terms of colour and PBR Standard based material. This enables a holistic approach of digital product development between brands and vendors on a common standard including master data, by using the most advanced raw material and trims solution in conjunction with the leading 3D garment technology,” Gerd Willschütz, COO of ColorDigital said.
