Fully Fashioned Sweaters & Seamless garments
Has anyone had luck doing this in CLO? I'd love your feedback.

Please share some images of what you have in mind. I have worked with knitted products which are seamless but have different types of weaving.

pablo.quintana Here are a few images. They are knits made on Shima Seiki machines (circular knit), and fully-fashioned sweaters. All seamless (for the most part). The t-shirts would have the same "fully fashioned" or body mapping variable knit to mimic armholes, necklines, etc. in order to fit the body.

Well the way I have somewhat successfully approached circular knits is by still having seams in the right places so that the changes in knit direction or type makes use of the seam. Then, the intensity of the actual 3D seam in CLO is turned to 0 so there is no normal map applied and then you can't see the seam in there.
As for the knitting, you will have to export the outline of your patterns into Photoshop and then, using height maps (grayscale were 126,126,126 is flat, lighter is raised and darker is sunk) you can "draw" the knitting. You can use actual knit scans and then assemble the knitting in the right places.
Once the maps are completed in Photoshop you should extract the PBR textures (normal, diffuse, roughness, displacement) from the grayscale. A great tool for that is Shader Map which I've seen being used here. Also, baking it in Blender or Maya is possible, but a bit more complicated.
You could then use those maps to be added to each piece and re-positioned them with the T tool which is the UV Map positioning. You could add displacement to increase the depth.
Here are some examples.
1. The work in Photoshop and Illustrator. Which then is used as a grayscale map as input into a PBR maps extractor like Shader Map:
2. The actual render after applying the maps in CLO:
Here is where the displacement can play a significant role in a sweater. These are tights, were the depth of the knitting is not as extreme as the pieces you showed.
