Knit goods simulation device and knit goods simulation method

Abstract

A knit goods simulation device converts design data of knit goods to myoneme data that express loops by myonemes. The knit goods simulation device expresses the loop by polygonal columns, divides side surfaces of the polygonal column into polygons, and stores the polygon apical coordinates in a polygon memory. The knit goods simulation device extracts loops in a simulation image displayed on a monitor, processes them at a graphic CPU, and limits the processing scope. Further, the knit goods simulation device stores a part of the apical data in a graphic memory so as to make its transfer from the polygon memory unnecessary. The knit goods simulation device can process a three-dimensional image at high speed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a simulation of knitted products. Background technique [0002] The present applicant has developed a technique for converting design data of knitted products into a 3D simulation image (Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-242611). This image realistically represents the individual loops of the knitted product, hence the name 3D loop simulation. Furthermore, according to this technique, a 3D simulated image obtained from design data can be used as a virtual sample usable for trade of knitted products. However, processing time is required to obtain a high-quality analog image, and processing such as reduction, enlargement, viewpoint change, and translation also makes the user wait. [0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-242611 Contents of the invention [0004] The object of the present invention is to shorten the time required for the simulation of knitted products, and to perform ...
