TUKAstudio - Knits

Print simulations at the click of a button that look so good you haveto touch to be sure theyre not real fabric.

Knits has all the drawing tools you would expect from the bestgraphics packages, but because it also thinks in terms of stitchesand repeat, it has all the tools you could want for these too.

As the basis of your design, you can import an image in 256colors created in almost any other graphics program. You can alsouse an image scanned from photographs or sketches andprocessed using the ColorSeparation module of TUKAstudio. Youcan then change the colors at will.

You can import any number of motifs to a motif base, and add themto your design at will. Whats more, you can create and modify

motifs within Knits and then export them again. If terms such as gauge and course count are second nature to

you, you can set the parameters for your project directly. If not,Knits takes care of all the technicalities, allowing you to modify yourknit visually, using a life-size simulation, to obtain precisely the formyou want.

Design 3D - Texture Mapping

Drag and drop your designs on the image to create fascinating andrealistic 3 Dimensional texture Mapping.

With tools like wrap around you can move the draped texture to set itat the right angles.

Dimension of the 3 D object can be defined so that the fabric sizemapped is in proportion and number of repeats are automatically

managed. An intelligent Library management feature, ATLAS graphically

categorises the 3dp images into unique themes such as interior,curtains, beds, models, men or women wear, table linen, etc.

Atlas also manages various parameters of fabric designs as differentcollections - plaids, stripes, floral, historic, geometric, abstract,modern, etc for subsequent retrieval.

Smart Slider hosts additional functionality to enhance the presentationpost-draping and visualise the effect online in the 3D enviromentimage.

You can change the dimension of the design

Heighten visual effects by fine tuning lightness of fabric, textures, etc...

You can instantly try out different color ways of the design online.

Advantages of Design 3D Efforts, time and money

involved in sampling mockupsand preparation of presentations are considerablyreduced.

Parity on design concepts ismaintained duringpresentations

Mapped images can be printedfor internal evaluation andgenerating sales portfolios/slide presentations.

Can be sent to customers overthe net / posted on your WEB

server. Easy decision making for the

customers resulting inimproved your sales.
