OptiTex, the industry leader in 2D/3D CAD/CAM design technology for cut-fabric related industries, has further improved its fashion software, 3D Runway Designer 10, by enhancing its remote collaboration tools.
Tex 3D Runway fashion software is a realistic cloth simulation/cloth modeling software system based on accurate CAD patterns and real fabric characteristics which can be used by designers, pattern makers, and retailers to visualise pattern modifications instantly in full 3D.
“We’ve integrated several new features into Runway 10 and primary among them is an open chat room, which allows production and image files in 2D and 3D to be exchanged between those involved in the design process. The user can easily modify these images with the help of the new chalk tool, thereby allowing the design and production staff together to draft on-screen, in real time from remote locations.” states Ran Machtinger, President and CEO of OptiTex Ltd.
The improved software also offers new features and options, which allow designers the freedom to change textures, materials, colors and stitches or add logos on screen without using a single piece of fabric. The garment can then be seen “in action” on OptiTex’s 3D models, which are fully adjustable to reflect any body type.
OptiTex 3D Runway fashion software reduces product development time, cost of multiple iterations of sample garment production, and enhances quality of products due to use of accurate modeling system software, besides analysing fabric behaviour, proof-fitting assumptions, and providing a graphical collaboration tool for all involved in the product development process. It also acts as an excellent tool for sales and merchandising, with easy to use virtual storyboards.
