# Nouns 3D-printed fashion collection by DANIT: milestones 3+4
# What's in this update?
1. Reporting on deliverables for my initial proposal (milestones 1+2)
2. New proposal for milestones 3+4
3. Potential opportunity with Metaverse fashion week
# Reporting on the progress on my initial proposal
### I have completed milestones #1 and #2 (Research + Design) for which I got funded in my [initial proposal](https://nouns.wtf/vote/26).
### Here’s the final sketch for the collection’s 7 outfits, each of them inspired by a different noun which I liked:
### I am making progress with patternmaking, modeling and rendering the outfits (milestone #3). Here is my process, if you’re curious:
### I have also started testing prints (milestone #4), which I think the community has been really excited about (check out this Twitter[ thread](https://twitter.com/danitpeleg3d/status/1486019979879358466)!):
## Roadmap & Progress:
1. ☑ **Research** - Inspiration board, material research, printing samples
2. ☑ **Design** - sketches
3. **STARTED**: **Patternmaking/Rendering/Modeling** - 3D modeling the sketches into 3D-printable files
4. **STARTED**: **Print Testing** - testing many different types of printers, configurations, materials etc
5. **-> NEW (potential) milestone: Participate in Metaverse Fashion Week (MVFW)**
6. **Printing finals** - printing the entire collection
7. **Assembling** - using different techniques (e.g. gluing, knotting, etc) to assemble the collection together
8. **Photoshoot** (with real-life models) - for press materials, websites, AR filter etc
9. **Runway show** - either invited to showcase at an event like nft.nyc, fashion weeks etc'
10. **Marketing** - prepare press kit, the collection get PR, is booked for events, and showcases galleries & museums
### 3DP research
I have a partnership with a lab where we create all kind of filaments for 3D-printing textiles. We will be developing special filaments for the collection’s color palette. More on this in the next update!
# New proposal for: milestone 3+4 - Patternmaking, Rendering & Modeling, as well as continued Print Testing
I am working with 3 different experts for this part of the project:
* **Patternmaking**: I have partnered with [Optitex](https://optitex.com/), a leading fashion design software company, who are working with me on patternmaking for the colleciton free of charge.
* **Modeling**: I am working with a very talented modeler to turn my sketches and the patterns into 3D files that are printable.
* **Rendering**: I am working with a brilliant 3D designer to create beautiful renderings of the collection, to be used in the Metaverse, or with potential 3D-printable NFTs, and generally to market the collection in the digital realm.
**Here is an example of what a model looks like (these files will be used for 3D printing):**
**Here is what Rendering looks like:**
Here's the budget for these milestones:
* **Modeling 7 outfits (15 items):** 7 ETH
* **Rendering 7 outfits (15 items)**: 2.3 ETH
* **Prints tests**: 1 ETH
* **My work (around 3 months)** 7.6 ETH
* **Total** = 17.9 ETH
This would bring the project up to now to a total spend of 21.05 ETH (3.15 + 17.9), which is approx $63K in USD value. I now expect the total cost of the project to be around $100-150K, depending on printing costs and marketing costs (mainly photoshoot/runway).
Thank you all for the support. This must be one of the most exciting projects I have worked on!
Stay Nounish!
