6 Experiment and Iterate : Customizing a 3D model is an iterative process. Experiment with different tools and
techniques, undo changes if needed (Ctrl + Z), and save your progress regularly.
7 Finalize and save : Once you’re satisfied with the customization, go back to Object Mode (Tab), navigate to
the “File” menu, and save your changes as described in the previous section.
By following these detailed steps, you should be able to efficiently open, save, and customize 3D models using
Blender or similar 3D modeling software

Procedure

Objective
The primary objective of integrating a cloth draping exercise into the curriculum is to equip students with
comprehensive skills in manipulating fabric and understanding its behaviour
when draped over a form. This exercise specifically targets the mastery of single draping techniques, emphasizing
the symbiotic relationship between cloth and form in fashion design.

Materials required
1 Diverse selection of cloth pieces encompassing various textures, weights, and draping properties.
2 Mannequins or dress forms to serve as the foundational structures for draping.
3 Essential draping tools including pins, scissors, and measuring tape to facilitate the manipulation of fabric.
4 Optional: Additional tools such as fabric weights or rulers for advanced draping techniques.

1 Place cloth
- Begin by instructing students to meticulously select an appropriate fabric based on the desired aesthetic,
functionality, and design concept.
- Guide them in placing the chosen fabric onto the designated mannequin or dress form, ensuring a smooth
and even surface for draping.
2 Clear cloth
- Prioritize the elimination of any wrinkles, folds, or imperfections present in the fabric that may impede the
draping process.
- Emphasize the importance of meticulous preparation in achieving optimal draping results.
3 Single draping
- Provide comprehensive demonstrations and instructions on the intricacies of single draping techniques,
focusing on specific areas such as the bodice, skirt, sleeves, or other design elements as per the curriculum
requirements.
- Encourage students to experiment with various draping methods including pinning, folding, gathering, and
pleating to sculpt the fabric into desired shapes and silhouettes.
