Garment Maker Modifier 599
Reset—
Removes the deformation of the selected
panels (restoring the flat state).
Reset All—Removes the deformation from all
panels.
Use Preserv ed—Turn this on to override the None
or Curved deformation options. When on, the
panel gets its shape from the preserved mesh
instead of the deformation options.
None—Makesthispanelflat.
Curved—UsethevalueintheCurvaturefieldto
bend the panel.
Curvature—Sets the amount of curve or bend of a
panel. The hig her this value is, the more the panel
will curve.
X-axis—Sets the axis for the curvature to the
panel’s local X axis.
Y-axis—Sets the axis for the curvature to the
panel’s local Y axis.
Panel Position—Moves the selected panel to the
position specified by the button you click. These
locations are determined by the software based
on the posit ions you set w ith the
Mark Points On
Figure
controls at the Garment Maker object level.
The positions are:
• Front Center
•FrontRight
•FrontLeft
•BackCenter
•BackRight
•BackLeft
•RightSide
•LeftSide
•RightArm
•LeftArm
Note: ThetermsFront,Back,Right,andLeftrefer
to the character’s orientation.
Level —Sets where the top of the panel should go.
Garment Maker derives these locations from the
locations you specify with the
Mark Points On
Figure
controls. The choices are:
•Topatneck
•Topatshoulder
•Topatunderarm
•Topatwaist
If you change the setting here, it affects the
subsequent Panel Position results.
Adjusting Texture Coordinates
When Garment Maker is in Flat Panels mode
(that is, the Main Parameters rollout >
Flat Panels
option
is chosen), the texture coordinates are
defined by the positions of the panels. Imagine the
panels are being cut out of a large piece of fabric.
The location and orientation of a panel in that
large piece of fabric determine how the texture is
aligned on it. By moving and rotating a panel, you
canchangeitstexturecoordinates. Remember,
youmustbeinFlatPanelsmodetodothis.
Seams rollout
At t he Seams sub-object le vel, you can define and
edit seams and their properties. Seams have the
same functionality as cur ves, but at this level the
mesh is displayed three-dimensionally instead of
inaflatlayout.Also,atthislevelthemeshisalways
