Overview

In 3D View, users can bring 2D Patterns to the 3D space and simulate them.

Operation Method

Screen rotation

Move while holding down the left mouse button.

Move screen

Move while holding down the right mouse button.

3D view pinching

During simulation, hold down the Ctrl key and click and drag the mouse.

Pinching point

Pinch point displays the mouse picking point in both the 3D view and the 2D view.

Components

3D Viewing Toolbar

On the 3D Viewing Toolbar, users can change options for the 3D View.

• Wireframe

  Wireframe is an option to show or hide the triangular mesh that makes up the Surface.

• Smoothing

  This option temporarily breaks up the mesh to appear smoother than the mesh quality used in the simulation. This option applies only when the simulation stops (e.g. Pause, Reset).

• Thickness

  The Thickness option determines whether or not to express the thickness of the pattern.

  While all patterns have a thickness, turning the thickness option off will show the pattern as a thin sheet of paper as shown in the left figure.

• Thickness Types

  Thickness type is an option that determines the thickness type of a surface, z-weave supports 4 thickness types (Flat, Round, Double and Outline).

  Pattern thickness type can be set via UI Panel > Fabric > Physical Properties.

• Measurements

  Measurements is an option to show major body parameters on an Avatar.

• Avatar Lock

  Avatar Lock is an option that can be locked to prevent users from selecting an Avatar.

• Pressure Map

  Pressure Map is an option to show the pressure on a garment.

  A darker blue means less pressure, a darker red means more pressure.

  

• Darken backside

  Darken backside is a function to distinguish the front and back of the fabric.

  The front side will keep the original color, and the back side will be darker than the front.

• Sewings

  Sewings is an option to show the sewing lines in 3D View.

• Gizmo

  Gizmo is an option to change Gizmo types.

  Users can switch Move Gizmo to Rotate Gizmo and vice versa.

Render Toolbar

• High-quality render

  The V-Ray Render function is used to create high-quality rendering images.

• 3D Capture

  3D Capture is a function that saves the image and video shown in 3D View.

Simulation Toolbar

On the Simulation Toolbar, users can control Simulation actions.

• Start/Pause

  Start/Pause is a function to run and stop the simulation.

• Step

  Step is a function that runs the simulation frame by frame.

• Reset

  Reset is a function to reset the simulation state to the arrangement state.
