Part 3 The Best Tool for Creating Apparel Texture Maps

Part 3 The Best Tool for Creating Apparel Texture Maps
When it comes to the apparel industry, APEXFiz®, developed and offered by Shima Seiki, has earned an outstanding reputation.
What sets APEXFiz apart is its unique ability to create texture maps without requiring physical materials. Instead, you can design the material from scratch in a virtual environment. By scanning actual yarn and building a digital fabric, the software automatically generates all the necessary texture maps as part of the process. That means you’ll have access to all six types of maps we covered earlier—ready to be applied to your 3D models for ultra-realistic results.®
 
Fabriccreation
 
Normally, creating texture maps requires physical materials, which are scanned or processed using specialized software to generate the maps. However, with APEXFiz, you can complete the entire 3D modeling process without preparing any physical materials. This approach not only streamlines the workflow but also contributes to more sustainable production in fashion and apparel design.®

In addition, APEXFiz supports the creation of a wide range of materials—everything from woven fabrics and circular knits to towels and embroidery. This makes it possible to build highly realistic 3D models for virtually any type of apparel product.®

 
Various materials
 
Note: In the example shown here, we’ve only displayed three types of texture maps for simplicity. In reality, APEXFiz automatically generates all six: Base Color Map, Normal Map, Displacement Map, Alpha Map, Roughness Map, and Metalness Map (with the Metalness Map output as a solid black image by default).®
