Design Software Modules
You can use textile design software modules to
create designs faster and more accurately. The Clicdesign
series provides functions for drapery, repeats, weaves, and coloring,
all packaged in Adobe Photoshop plugins. |
| |
| Fabric Drapery
- You can create design samples and apply them directly to an existing
model using the Clicdesign StyleDraper
module. The drapery process involves three main steps: (1) drap-and-drop
the edges of a grid mask onto the existing model, (2) create and load
a fabric pattern, and (3) apply the pattern to the model. The StyleDraper
module makes all of these steps easy and convenient from an Adobe
Photoshop plugin.
|
| Image Repeats
- Repeating a fabric design image and customizing the repeat pattern
are basic functions of textile design provided by the Clicdesign
QuickRepeat module. The
QuickRepeat module makes
it easy to repeat images, perform rotations and overlays, and invert
images horizontally and vertically, all from an Adobe Phoshop plugin.
|
| Weave Creation
- You can create new weaves with up to eight colors in warp and weft
with the Clicdesign PlaidMakerPlus
module. The process is easy: set the repeat size and base weave, choose
the yarn color for warp and weft, and set the image size in resolution,
then apply the settings and the PlaidMakerPlus
module creates the weave design. All from a single control panel in
an Adobe Photoshop plugin.
|
| Fabric Recoloring
- Building a library of colorways and customizing existing fabric
colors are basic textile design functions provided by the Clicdesign
ColorVision module. The
ColorVision modules lets
designers recolor imported fabric images in new hues, while working
from a simple control panel in an Adobe Photoshop plugin.
