THE COURSE
Johnnie Maneiro
With over thirty years of experience in the world of computer graphics, Johnnie Maneiro is one of the leading figures in the digital transition of the fashion industry. His career spans the evolution of CG itself, allowing him to combine deep technical knowledge with a pioneering vision of three-dimensional design. Founder of The Render, Johnnie has been working for years as a consultant and lead designer for international brands, with a vertical specialization in the sportswear sector. In this field, where technical performance of materials and precision of fit are fundamental, he has been able to exploit the potential of physical simulation to redefine design and prototyping workflows. His constant commitment to innovation and his mastery of industry software have earned him recognition as CLO3D Ambassador and Style3D Ambassador, roles that see him playing a leading role in the global dissemination of the best textile simulation technologies. At BigRock, Johnnie draws on his thirty years of experience to guide students in learning 3D modeling for fashion, teaching not only how to use the tools, but also the methodology necessary to excel in an ever-changing market.
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM
The program replicates the professional workflow, from pattern construction to final rendering.
module 1
Project foundations (Human & Matter)
- Digital anatomy. Study of avatars, measurements, and poses.
- Physics in digital materials. Geometry, texture, and sampling.
- Vector Design. Pattern drafting, technical flats, and introduction to professional Tech Packs.
- Drapery. Experimentation with wearability and dynamic fabric management.
module 2
Image, production, and AI integration
- AI inspiration and 3D prototyping. Modeling and volume manipulation (CLO3D).
- Digital workflow and production output, Study of the transition from 3D model to physical prototype. File optimization for industrial cutting and data management for automated production.
- Photography and Art Direction. Rendering, composition, lighting for e-commerce/editorial and styling. Image enhancement via AI.
- Brand Language and Visual Curation. Conceptual mood boards, typography, and layout for digital and print publications.
module 3
Professional integration
- Strategic storytelling and fashion marketing.
- Sustainability and Circular Design. Design for end-of-life, upcycling, and circular economy strategies.
- Business Planning and Collection Management. Market analysis, costing, and distribution channels.
- Final portfolio and runway simulation. Presentation of the collection via digital lookbook and professional pitch.
WHY THIS PATH
Learning 3D modeling for fashion means acquiring a language that combines design and production. Using CLO3D allows you to visualize the final result before even cutting the fabric, reducing development time and allowing for creative experimentation without physical limitations.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
REQUIREMENTS
The course is also accessible to those with no previous experience in 3D. A basic knowledge of technical drawing or elementary tailoring concepts is recommended to facilitate understanding of the patterns.
OBJECTIVES
At the end of the 72 hours, you will have learned the basics of 3D modeling and will be able to use CLO3D independently to create and present your fashion design project.
