interview, Miao Shengai told reporters that after she learned about virtual clothing When designing clothing, a friend happened to recommend her a simple modeling software, Nomad, and she entered the door of "Metaverse Costume" design.

As for modeling software, Miao Shengai can be said to be "self-taught", and for design, she considers herself an "improvisationalist"," Every time I talk about inspiration, I don’t know how to describe it, because it is true that a finished product is made slowly and slowly, and it is possible that you don’t know what the design looks like until the end. "

I personally feel that the sales are good because my price is relatively cheap, and the design is more popular. Personally, I still like it best when I wear it The purple Galaxy Landing piece on sale on want. "
In the future, she may choose to major in digital media.
Continue the "metaverse design fantasy"

Currently, because she is busy with her studies, she has temporarily put aside designing virtual clothes. “After the art training, I rarely make new works, or optimize and renovate some previous works."
Miao Shengai's works include many national-style designs
. However, in the future, she may go further in this direction and continue her "design fantasy" in the metaverse. "In the future, she may want to apply for fashion design or digital media, but she still wants to make a specific decision based on the school she is finally admitted to. The digital media major is still the major I want to choose first. "
It is worth mentioning that Miao Shengai, like some netizens who do not agree with virtual clothing, thinks it is "just a P-picture" because she sees that the most beautiful form of virtual clothing on people is pictures. In this regard, she said: "The AR effect is not as good as pictures. I can only say that we must try to make the pictures the best and most realistic. "
However, she still likes the art form of virtual clothing and is happy to buy and collect it. "I often use the money I earn to buy other people's virtual clothing works. If I like it, I will want to buy it. "
She also has her own opinions on virtual clothing and believes that it will continue to serve the fashion field in the future, "Because after all, the current public interest in virtual clothing is not very high. Some time ago, Xiaohongshu's virtual clothing became popular and it was only a trend for a while. I personally think that the popularity of virtual clothing and its fashionability may still be developed separately. ”
