We were contracted by Digital Draping to create detailed digital assets for use in an online configurator. We translated the sewing patterns into Marvelous Designer, created detailed sewn assemblies and simulations. The final simulations were exported as high density models and imported into Modo for lighting, texturing and rendering. Each model was able to be rendered out with a large variety of fabric options, offering a much more flexible pipeline than traditional photography.

We designed the annual Bursill Ski Clothing catalogue for many years. When they first came to us artwork was being produced using their clothing concept sketches. The process was tedious and gave only a vague hint to the actual colours. In the first year time was short so we autotraced all the sketches and coloured them by hand in Macromedia FreeHand. This gave them a more colour accurate result but the autotraced sketches were a bit untidy and took a long time to save and print. The following year we suggested design time could be intelligently redistributed and enable us to provide a much improved result for the same conservative budget. The following years we redrew and coloured all the rough sketches, providing a really clean and consistent result.
