🧵 How to Make Your Designs Look Realistic Using Fabrics
Want your Studio designs to look real and full of volume? The secret is in choosing the right fabric and using its settings wisely. Here’s how to achieve a realistic effect:
🔸 1. Use fabrics with strong texture
Materials like corduroy, suede, faux fur, tweed add visible depth — especially if you increase the texture slider.
> 💡 Tip: Use these for thicker clothes like coats, jackets, or pants.
🔸 2. Smooth fabrics = light and clean look
Cotton, silk, synthetics appear sleek and simple. They’re great for tops, dresses, and summer styles.
> ✨ Perfect if you want to focus on color or shape without too much detail.
🔸 3. Play with transparency settings
Texture opacity adjusts how visible the fabric pattern is.
➤ Higher texture makes the outfit feel more “touchable.”
Color opacity affects how intense the color appears.
➤ Lowering it creates softer, more natural tones (great for light cotton or wool).
🔸 4. Don’t be afraid to mix fabrics
Real clothes often combine different materials. Try contrast for a realistic look:
A leather corset + a flowing silk skirt
Wool top + denim bottom
This adds visual interest and realism.
📌 Remember:
Realism isn’t just “pretty” — it’s about making your design feel natural. And Studio gives you the tools to make it happen!
