Three Professional Certificate Programs

The first of their kind to be offered at OSU, three new certificates in 3D Digital Product Creation. Each certificate pathway will teach students 3D skills and provide general knowledge of the overall 3D landscape in the fashion industry. Coursework will provide knowledge in navigating Browzwear software, allowing students to learn to use avatars and dress forms in a 3D space as well as pattern making in 3D, along with other industry utilized software. Determining appropriate materials for use and understanding placement of seams, artwork and trims helps to translate design into a 3D garment to be used for samples, fitting and testing fabric drapes. These simulations can be applied to different lighting environments and much more. 

Designed

with Industry in Mind
This certificate series was ideated through the 3D Retail Coalition (3D.RC) Education committee comprised of dedicated industry professionals and educators who have met over the past seven years to determine the skills, skill level and knowledge needed in order to pursue a position in 3D Product Creation.
Each certificate pathway has four courses to complete with each requiring the completion of six or more modules that include instruction, assignments and practice.

 

 

 

Led by Experienced Instructor

These courses will be led by instructor Diane Limbaugh who has taught at OSU for more than a decade and provides industry insight and experience as a technical designer and owner of her own fashion brand.

"3D Digital Product Creation is transforming the world of fashion for both students and the industry alike. As a student, learning to work in 3D has been a valuable tool that helped me become a more informed designer. I am able to visualize, validate and approve a digital twin before ever sewing a stitch. The program has been user-friendly, intuitive and allowed me the flexibility that I needed to create what I want in 3D. This software has presented me with new opportunities, and I am excited to see what's next."
