Style3D User's Talk with Elen Kimi: The Story of a Talented 3D Designer
By: Style3D Updated on: 19 Apr. 2024
"Since January 2023, I have ONLY used Style3D in my daily work. My clients are very satisfied with the quality", said Elen Kimi, who is such a talented 3d designer creating thousands of stunning 3d works. Let's dive into her inspiring story with Style3D and learn valuable insights on mastering Style3D and leveraging it to generate income as a freelancer!
Q: Tell us your story
A: I'm a pattern maker and architect. I began 3D clothing in May 2022. Because of the war in my country, all my architectural design projects stopped one day, and I spent 3 months looking for something that could work remotely for me in Kyiv.
The best skill that helps me now to make beautiful works is pattern making, which allows me to create realistic 3D models. I try to make them as similar as possible if they were sewn in a studio.
Q: What are your main sources of income?
A: My main source of income is pattern-making for garment production, especially on the Femif brand. Sometimes I get requests from different brands from different countries, such as the UK, Jamaica and Germany. But it's not the whole collection, just one or two things.

Q: To what extent do you utilize Style3D in your commissions?
A: Since January 2023 I have ONLY used Style3D in my daily work.
Q: How do your clients react?
A: My clients are very satisfied with the quality of my work. Even those who ask to do the work in other software, I still do it in Style3D and they like the quality very much.
Q: How did you first learn about Style3D?
A: I found Style3D from a Twitter post. A 3D artist was talking about the advantages of this software, and I was very interested as I had only been working on other softwares for a few months.
Q: How long did it take you to learn and master Style3D?
A: Thanks to the tutorials on the stylist3d.com platform, I was able to work on the software after two days of watching them.
Q: What do you think are the key benefits of Style3D?
A: The most physically correct simulation of the fabric. For example, if I assign jersey knitwear in the software, and make a pattern of a dress, then the dress looks exactly the same. It is very important for clothes production.
Correctly working layers, which makes the work easier and faster. It supports symmetrically arrangement of parts in the 3D window. Easy render settings, and its quality. With the release of the new version, there is Ray Tracing: the fastest and most stable video renderer. Extensive library, avatars, trims, fabrics, zips... All these allow me to speed up the process of creation with high quality.
And very qualitative mesh for 3D models when switching from triangles to squares.
