Abstract

The present invention relates to textile design, more particularly to a method and an apparatus for textile design using a three dimensional textile design program. The present invention can solve the problem of the pattern or color designed by the textile designer on two dimensional cloth being deformed in three dimensional clothes. Using the textile design program of the present invention, the textile designer may perform designing on the three dimensional clothes form, which is automatically expressed in two dimensions on a computer, making it possible to print the design and make clothes through cutting and sewing.

Claims

1. A method for textile design of clothes using a computer, which comprises the steps of:

inputting the body size of a model into a computer;

selecting a basic silhouette suitable for the body size;

modifying the selected silhouette through pattering; and

drawing a textile design on the silhouette,

wherein a display screen of the computer displays at least a first divisional window which displays the three dimensional image of the silhouette and a second divisional window which displays the two dimensional development image of the silhouette,

the step of pattering and the step of textile design drawing are performed using one of the first divisional window and the second divisional window, and

the three dimensional image data of the silhouette displayed on the first divisional window and the two dimensional image data of the silhouette displayed on the second divisional window are linked to each other, so that the change of one of the three dimensional or two dimensional image data is reflected on the other data and results in the display of the modified image on the corresponding divisional window.

2. The method for textile design as set forth in claim 1, wherein the step of inputting the body size into a computer comprises the step of inputting a digital image data of a human body and computing the body size from the image data.

3. A computer-readable storage medium storing a textile design program for textile design of clothes using a computer, wherein the textile design program is executed by the steps comprising:

inputting the body size of a model into a computer;

selecting a basic silhouette suitable for the body size;

modifying the selected silhouette through pattering in response to a user'"'"'s command input; and

drawing a textile design on the silhouette in response to the user'"'"'s command input,

wherein a display screen of the computer displays at least a first divisional window which displays the three dimensional image of the silhouette and a second divisional window which displays the two dimensional development image of the silhouette and the user'"'"'s command input is input through one of the first divisional window and the second divisional window and

the three dimensional image data of the silhouette displayed on the first divisional window and the two dimensional image data of the silhouette displayed on the second divisional window are linked to each other, so that the change of one of the three dimensional or two dimensional image data is reflected on the other data and results in the display of the modified image on the corresponding divisional window.

4. The computer-readable storage medium storing a textile design program as set forth in claim 3, wherein the step of inputting the body size into a computer comprises the step of inputting a digital image data of a human body and computing the body size from the image data.
