Mix & Match Your 3D Styles
Starting from version O21.0, you can create a Mix & Match of your colorways and garments for Line and Range reviews, and create Photo Realistic images of all combinations.
You can save each style & colorway as a separate CLT file and then
simply drag & drop on your avatar to create outfit combination.
The following workflow demonstrates how to create pants and t-shirt combinations with different colorways.
Note: Pick the Avatar pose that you want to use for your final Mix & Match combinations. Use the same pose to simulate
Creating the first 3D Style (pants):
-
Open PDS and load the Avatar in 3D.
-
Open the pants PDS file and then simulate the pattern.
-
Create different variants/articles according to the required pants colorways.
-
Select the first colorway, then save the cloth as a CLT file. Do the same for each colorway that you want to use in Mix & Match.
Creating the second 3D Style (t-shirt):
-
Clear the 2D and 3D workspace leaving the Avatar only.
-
Use the same Avatar and pose that was used to create the first 3D Style.
-
Load the CLT file you created earlier (pants). You can either use the Load icon from the 3D toolbar in the 3D window ,or drag & drop the CLT file to the 3D window.
-
Open the t-shirt PDS file and then simulate the pattern.
Note:Clear Cloth / Refresh 3D does not remove the previously loaded CLT file (pants).
-
Create the different variants/articles required for the t-shirt colorways.
-
Select the first colorway, then save the cloth as a CLT file. Do the same for each colorway that you want to use in Mix & Match.
Creating Mix & Match combinations of the pants and t-shirt in various colorways:
-
Open PDS and load in 3D the Avatar that was used to create the Styles (CLTs).
-
Drag & Drop one of the pants colorways (CLT file) to the 3D Window.
-
Select one of the t-shirt colorways (CLT file), press and hold CTRL thendrag & drop to the 3D window.
Now you can create Photo Realistic images. -
To create the next Mix & Match combination, remove one of the styles and bring in the new colorway.
To remove the 3D style (CLT) from the 3D Window, select a piece and click twice with Left Mouse Button or press CTRL+Left Mouse Button. -
Click the Delete button.
-
Now you can drag & drop another colorway of the 3D Style, using the same method as described in step 3 above.
-
Do the same for each colorway and style combination you want to create.
Examples of possible combinations:
You can do the same for more than two styles, for example by adding a jacket.
