2D/3D Fashion Product Development Prototype Flamingo Pua III
- Garment pattern development in OptiTex, garment sketch development, engineered garment pattern surface design development, OptiTex 3D simulation test.
palette, print pattern and garment sketch development.
Garment patterns were quickly developed and simulations were visualized using OptiTex PDS.

Ideas for graphics were added to basic silhouette sketches (above) and used as a guide to develop final surface patterns/graphics (below).
Garment patterns were exported from OptiTex and imported into Adobe Illustrator full size (above). All garment pattern lines were set to invisible except perimeter cut lines. Graphics and surface patterns were developed inside the cut lines for each full size garment pattern piece.
Engineered garment surface patterns were tested in the OptiTex PDS 3D application (above).
