Dynamic Garment Texture Editing via Interval Parameter Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current garment simulation technologies lack flexibility in editing and generating repeating patterns or designs, specifically in adjusting the spacing and orientation of texture tiles, which limits the dynamic display and application of these patterns on both 2D and 3D representations.
Innovation Solution
A method for editing texture images on a canvas by determining interval parameters for spacing or overlapping instances, applying user inputs for iteration counts, shift indices, and modifying the size or orientation of the texture image, allowing for dynamic display and application on both 2D and 3D garments, with graphical user interface elements for moving, scaling, and rotating the texture.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional garment simulation uses fixed texture tiles, then the basic pattern display is maintained, but the flexibility in editing and generating repeating patterns is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The texture tile is segmented into multiple image instances that can be independently positioned and configured. Each instance can be individually manipulated while maintaining the overall repeating pattern structure, enabling flexible editing without requiring complete redesign of the texture tile.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from static fixed texture tiles to dynamic configurable instances. Users can dynamically adjust the position, spacing, and arrangement of individual image instances within the texture tile, allowing real-time modification of repeating patterns while maintaining system manageability through structured configuration.
2Adaptability or versatility
If texture images are repeated with fixed spacing, then the pattern consistency is maintained, but the ability to adjust spacing and orientation is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables dynamic adjustment of key parameters including spacing between instances, orientation angles, and positioning coordinates. By allowing these parameters to be modified while maintaining the underlying repeating structure, the system achieves both adaptability in design and precision in pattern generation through configurable parameters.
3Productivity
If manual editing of each texture instance is required, then precise control is achieved, but the editing efficiency and productivity are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides universal configuration capabilities that work across multiple image instances simultaneously. A single configuration action can affect multiple instances according to defined patterns, enabling users to efficiently edit repeating patterns without manually adjusting each instance individually, thus improving productivity while maintaining precision.
4Adaptability or versatility
If texture patterns are designed in 2D only, then the design process is simple, but the application to 3D garments is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system bridges 2D texture design and 3D garment application by maintaining configurable image instances that can be mapped to three-dimensional surfaces. The same instance configuration framework used in 2D design can be extended to 3D contexts, allowing seamless transition from flat pattern design to curved surface application without increasing fundamental system complexity.

AI summary
A simulation method for editing a texture of a garment may include displaying a two-dimensional (2D) canvas corresponding to a basic region of the texture, displaying a 2D texture image on the canvas, receiving a first user input for repeating and displaying the texture image on the canvas, determining an interval parameter between the texture images based on the first user input, a size of the canvas, and a size of the texture image, and displaying the texture images on the canvas based on the determined interval parameter.
