Interview with Ezgi Yürekli | Stylized Western Fringed Jacket | 3D Artist

Artist Introduction

My name is Ezgi Yürekli, and I’m a 3D artist working in the game development industry. I graduated from the digital game design department of Bahçeşehir University this year. I love playing games and wanted to be a part of game development. I met with 3D modeling softwares like Maya, zBrush, Marvelous Designer and loved the idea of creating 3D assets for games. I like the aesthetic of stylized art, so I develop myself to create stylized props for games and learn the pipeline of game ready assets in my free time.

Can you give us a quick overview of the different tools used in your pipeline?

For this challenge, I decided to use Marvelous Designer mainly. I wanted to create a fringed jacket. I collected my references from a movie called Bronco Billy (1980) and started making the jacket itself. I tried different fabrics to achieve the look that I wanted. The best part of using Marvelous in this project was making the fringes. Marvelous helped me a lot with its physics simulation when it comes to it. It would take a massive amount of time if I were to model them by hand. Also, I can change my avatar to what I want easily, so I didn’t have an issue using the chair that I made for my jacket to hang from. Also, after finishing the jacket I retopologized it inside Marvelous.

How can you describe your overall experience of the use of the Marvelous Designer?

When I first saw Marvelous Designer I loved it because I didn’t see any software like that before. The idea of creating digital clothes with physics simulation sounded awesome. So I jumped right in, tried different tools and I made my first t-shirt. Also I like to discover the softwares by trial and error but sometimes if you want to achieve even a simple thing you have to watch some tutorials. In this case, it didn’t take a lot of time to find my way around Marvelous Designer all by myself. It was so much fun and easy for me to create something, it was like a game to me. I would often open Marvelous and try to do something just for fun. Also Marvelous Designer has really elaborate tutorials too. It is easy to follow and informative. I can easily suggest it if you are looking for tutorials as a new user.
