Browzwear’s C-Me system
PAD system Technologies has integrated the Syfle-Cloth Simulator into its Haute
Couture 3D software, to enable highly realistic cloth animation. The Syflex
Cloth simulator plugs in to 3D animation software such as Maya XSI and 3D Max
and is already being used by animation studios.
One of the biggest challenges faced by software developers dealing with the
fashion industry is the fact that we are working with a fluid material, with
totally different characteristics and properties depending on the type of fabric,
which is then placed on a figure that is also not rigid like steel, glass or
wood for example.
A number of 3D-visualisation software packages are available for the fashion
industry. In terms of visualising individual styles, these include V-Stitcher
by Browzwear (which has links with Gerber, Investronica and Tex-Data), OptiTex
Runway and PAD 3D Haute Couture, for example.
Approval times can be shortened significantly through improved communication.
Teams no longer have to wait for the garment to be cut, sewn, pressed and modelled
before it can be evaluated. Plus, it is now possible to hold meetings via the
Internet, where everybody involved in the project is looking at the same virtual
sample. So it is no longer always necessary to have face-to-face meetings to
evaluate, modify and approve a product.
