Draw and Simulation

Innovative solution to draw and rendering for the fabric Simulation with a very realistic effect

Solution that allows to simulate a large variety of stitches with the possibility to choose the yarn type, having many different combinations such as single jersey, double jersey, jaquard also with transfer jaquard, structure and cable, fully fashion, rib with tuck, and many other stitches. It’s moreover possible to see realistic stretch, creases, distorsions based on the kind of Simulation you would like to have

Advantages of using this technology

Thanks to the simplicity with which the knitting simulations can be generated, it can also be used by people without a high level of knitting know-how behind them, thus allowing companies to quickly include new professional figures in their production staff

Digital solution towards sustainable fashion

This digital solution offers a path towards sustainable fashion by allowing a completely digital decision-making process, bringing significant savings in costs, time and a big advantage from an environmentalist perspective as today there is a lot of waste as we are not able to see a simulated preview but have to go to produce sample garments on the machinery every time

PaintKnit and Selftryon

Sampling done on Paintknit is streamlined and ideas come through Tryon to the style department, stores and showrooms faster

Simulation with realistic effect

It’s possible to draw in an easy and intuitive way, to simulate the result with a realistic and accurate effect, used in flatting machines

Paintknit is suitable for:

PaintKnit is userfriendly and good for many kind of users, like CAD 3D fashion designers to realize simulations as rendering, fashion designer and stylists,, technical programmers for flatting and circular knitting machinery, technical designer

Export and Import

It’s possible to export and import file for 3D CAD most known, including CAD for flatting and circular machinery

Color variants

With a sophisticated tool it’s possible to generate various different colors for the Simulation. From a palette with suggestions about most recents cloud color trends, but also from internet images, it allows you to adjust the color harmony, ensuring correct balance and explore color, hues and tints in a useful and intuitive way.

You can see how various colors look, based on different kinds of yarn too, like with knots, mohair and others

3D Technology

It’s possible to rotate the camera and have both front and back view of the Simulation, being a true 3D

Innovative solutions

For PaintKnit we used advanced technologies like AI – ML – AR – VR

Real Time Rendering

It was very important for us to develop PaintKnit to be very userfriendly and with a high rendering speed; in fact, all functions like color variations, image panning, change yarn are calculated in real time also with very big and complicated patterns

Fashion stylists and designers

Pattern PaintKnit

Some pattern examples

These are only some examples of what it’s possible to realize with PaintKnit, like particular tuck to create creases and distorsions from stitches

Difficult stitches' combinations

You can see how the result is very realistic, using special algorithms the various stitches simulated are influenced by characteristics of used motifs and pattern density

Create new Patterns

From a sketch or a draw directly to the Simulation

PaintKnit allows to obtain from a simple sketch an image simulated that represents for real what users would like to draw

Advanced Instruments

The advanced instrument to draw and a very big stitches’ gallery already prepared, can guide al kind of users (less experts too) to create very complicated Simulations

Technical 2D pattern generation

By using codes and automated processes with knit language user create the 2D technical pattern for knitting machineries in general

Stitches Gallery

Extended stitches’ gallery

PaintKnit is supplied with an extended stitches gallery. Stitches are divided in different categories(like Jaquard, structure, Intarsia…) and by using filters it will be easy to find stitches desired

Stitches Gallery

User can easily create and add new stitches and combinations

Apply Yarn

Yarn’s gallery

PaintKnit allows (by a sofisticated algorithm) to simulate a stitch with different kind of yarns, like mélange, with long or short hair, and many other kind of yarns

Yarn Gallery

Vast gallery with the possibility to be extended by users, by easily adding and creating new yarns and combinations

Color variations

Sophisticated Tool for the yarns’ color variations

You can see how various colors look, based on different kinds of yarn too, like with knots, mohair and others

Yarn's color variations

It’s easy to assign a different color to any yarn used on the pattern, and see in real time a realistic result on the simulation

PaintKnit Tryon

Visualization of textures on selftryon totems

PaintKnit Tryon, the display of SelfTryOn totem and its full set of features allow you to create designs and take them to the next level with a realistic view of the garment being worn. The tools present allow you to rotate, enlarge, move and interact with Tryon, choose the animations, the various types of models, the scenes and then apply the textures in real time, enhancing the colorway and photorealistic rendering characteristics.

Style department, shops...

Sampling is thus simplified and ideas get to the style department, shops and showrooms faster

PaintKnit and Metaverse

Digital fashion industry

PaintKnit can be used by 3D fashion designers, character artists, animators and fashion professionals to create collections and knits directly in the METAVERSE platforms that feature realistic clothing options

Metaverse

Create photorealistic textures to Metaverse

Knitting Technicians and Programmers

Paintknit for technicians

Programmers for flatting machines

PaintKnit is very useful for knitting machines’ programmers, because allows to create pattern very complicated too; in fact, it allows to have a real preview of the final result without material producing pattern with machine. Simulation clearly shows any kind of eventual programming errors

2D e 3D Approach

Technicians have the possibility to work on 2D technical graphicsand see the 3D Simulation in real time and viceversa

3D Technology

PaintKnit can be used by different kind of knitting machines’ programmers, for example flatting machines, fully fashion, integral garment… so for a many different users, without having a specific knowledge of machines. PaintKnit allows to generate a compatible file with the most common knitting machines CAD, this allows to intensely reduce time to produce and realize pattern, simplifying collaborations betweek stylist, designers and technicians

Export and Import

PaintKnit can be used also to import pattern realized with the most common knitting machines’ CAD, to then applicate simulation and see the realistic result. This import allows to test pattern and see any kind of stitch like Jaquard, Integral garment, Intarsia, cables and many others
