A step-by-step on how to fix why auto-grading does not work in CLO3D. Yes, grading can be daunting and complicated. However, CLO3D software and some basic understanding would make grading much simpler and more accurate with only a few clicks away. This video will show you, some tips that make grading easy and efficient. Hi, I’m Rose from Encoder Fashion. Are you ready, let’s do it? 

To get a better understanding of the sizes, I have links below that have these Alvanon’s size charts where CLO3D uses for all their Avatar sizes from children, petite, missy, etc.

If you are new to grading and feel frustrated please see these size chart links below and prints them out to see how the sizes shift from one to the next. This will help to clarify some confusion and it will come in handy later when you started to customize your avatar sizes.
