Image File Settings

In the Impostazioni file di immagine dialog box you make the following settings for the export of the fabric view:

Origine immagine

Origine

Select image source

  • Intero disegno
    Exports a complete fabric piece.
  • Zona selezionata
    Exports only the desired, selected section of a pattern.
    This function is helpful in case cycles are to be used in a 3D apparel software.
  • Sezione dell'immagine corrente
    Exports only the area that currently appears in the document window of the fabric view.

Dimensione immagine

Dimensione

Select size specification format

DPI or Pixel

Enter DPI value

Altezza in pixel

Enter height in pixels

Larghezza in pixel

Enter width in pixels

Mantieni proporzioni

The size ratio of the pattern is maintained

Aghi

Width of the image file in needles

Ranghi

Height of the image file in rows

Larghezza

Width of the image file in cm

The specification corresponds to the set stitch density

Altezza

Height of the image file in cm

The specification corresponds to the set stitch density

Densità delle maglie

Specification, in the Proprietà del disegno selected stitch density

Impostazioni file

Nome file

Display of the pattern name

Formato immagine

Select image format

PNG
JPEG or
TIFF

When selecting PNG:

Canale alfa PNG

PNG with or without transparency
Export the fabric view for further processing to a 3D apparel software always as PNG with enabled transparency (Canale alfa PNG).

Compressione

Le immagini vengono ridotte a 256 colori. Può risultarne compromessa la qualità delle immagini. Le dimensioni del file vengono tuttavia notevolmente ridotte.

When selecting JPEG:

Qualità JPEG

JPEG with specification of the quality
The fabric view as JPG is always exported with a black background.

Independently from the selection of the image format:

Esportazione come file U3M

Export as U3M file

U3M is a standardized format for 3D visualization.
This includes physical properties data and texture maps, all combined into one ZIP file (U3MA).

Esportazione come file U3MA (archivio)

Exports the files compressed in a U3MA zip file.

Esportazioni

So-called Maps are used for the 3D visualization and 3D simulation to assign two-dimensional images to the three-dimensional surfaces of the models.
The different types of Maps give a more detailed and realistic appearance to the computer generated 3D models.

Mappa di base

Export Base Map

Base Map is the basic texture with the visible colors.

Mappa alfa

Export Alpha Map

An alpha Map contains information about transparent areas of a texture.
In a 3D software it is required to define the transparent space.

Mappa normale

Export Normal Map

The Normal Map, also called Bump Map, specifies the angle, with which virtual light is reflected over a digital surface.

With it the appearance of the texture depth is simulated.

The Normal Map is a necessary part of digital textures in a 3D software.

Mappa spostamento

Export Displacement Map

A Displacement Map, also called Height Map, can artificially generate an additional height of a digital texture.

This way, a more realistic appearance of three-dimensional surface structure results within a 3D model.

Lato anteriore

Export the corresponding selection as the front side

Lato posteriore

Export the corresponding selection as the rear side
