OptiTex's latest 3 Dimensional avatar will soon be walking the catwalk.
Israeli based OptiTex, a leading provider of software for the textile and fashion industry, recently announced the release of Jasmine, a 3D supermodel that makes it possible for clothes to be modeled tried and visualized before being transferred to production. Jasmine is now able to model clothing in various poses, and is expected to make her debut within the next few weeks.
Jasmine is a parametric avatar that can be modified to change the proportional size and dimensions of one or more body parts at the same time. The image and appearance of the avatar can also be changed to create a different face or body structure according to personalized adaptations, enabling the simulation of real-life models.
The avatar makes it possible to alter almost any virtual measurements and then refine the garment measurements and make the required adjustments with no real production needed. It also enables the user to visually and instantly review the final product before it is being transferred to production.
The avatar can also be used as a marketing tool for the manufacturer/designer's online and off-line clothing collections. Not only does this cut down on the time invested in planning and production, but also significantly reduces customer costs.
Jasmine, which joins ranks with Eve, the original model used by OptiTex, is more shapely and slimmer than Eve, while rotund Eve was upgraded to take advantage of the technical abilities that were developed for Jasmine. Jasmine and Eve are not alone; they join OptiTex's large family of male, boy, girl and baby avatars.
“2006 has showed a clear trend of companies moving more to Virtual Sampling and automated procedures than ever before,” says Ran Machtinger, CEO of OptiTex Ltd. “We anticipate that the market will rely more on such computer generated solutions in 2007 and 2008, expanding the solutions to industries using apparel solutions outside the apparel box,” adds Mr. Machtinger.
