Super TEX‐SIM: Interactive textile design and simulation

Abstract

This paper presents an interactive tool for designing and simulating textile images. It comprises a yarn editor, a textile editor and a texture mapper. These subsystems share a colour editor that can modify the colours of yarn and textile images interactively. We describe how yarn and textile images are generated, and how they are mapped to a target picture read from an image scanner. The user interface in the tool has many useful functions so that users can design textile images without knowledge of computer graphics and programming languages. Several examples of texture mapping are included. KEY WORDS Textile design Textile image simulation Texture mapping Yarn image Graphics user interface CCC 1049-8907/94/O40265-15 0 1 9 9 4

Smart Textiles: A Review and Bibliometric Mapping

“…The oldest paper related to smart textiles published in the Scopus database dates back to 1989. A detailed review of the ten earliest articles [84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92][93] showed that the research…”

“…A detailed review of the ten earliest articles [84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92][93] showed that the research topics of these publications had little to do with smart textiles as they are defined today, yet indirectly provided the seeds for smart production of smart textiles in the future. They dealt with computer-aided design and technology in the garment industry [84,85], the use of powerful measurement technologies for fabric properties during sewing [87,90,91,93], and the simulation of textile images through the joint use of a yarn editor, a textile editor, and a texture mapper [89]. These approaches to developing and integrating new technologies led to improvements in production efficiency, flexibility, quality, and design features in the garment industry.…”
