Mode virtuelle - La Presse - Nicolas Ritoux
Les personnages de jeux vidéo devraient-ils faire un petit effort dans leur habillement? Sont-ils à la fine pointe de la mode ou totalement ringards? Sont-ils réalistes, excentriques, créatifs?

3D Garment Creator - Fashion Revolution
3D Garment CreatorAutomatically promote your 2D silhouettes to full 3D garment models.
By 2003 90% of our business was in the apparel and textile industry and so we rebranded as Fashion Revolution.In 2005 we sold our consultancy and web design business and moved exclusively online, establishing 3Dfashionrevolution.com, specialising in developing our 3D fashion tools for fashion illustrators.We now have almost 2000 users of our solutions worldwide, ranging from corporates right through to small business's, schools and individuals.
The 3D Garment Creator series of products has been the primary focus of Sky Blue Research, it has been exclusively commissioned by and developed in partnership with Fashion Revolution (previously known as Burneth Ltd.).
We are looking at rewriting our software that converts 2D garment drawings to 3D
models.1 - We need a program that will take a model out of Poser and automatically
create the appropriate data files and templates to enable garments to be drawn
and promoted to 3D to be fitted over the Poser model.2 - We need the 2D - 3D garment promotion process.3 - We need to be able to import the finished 3D garment back into Poser.
