ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for designing garments including the following steps: a) providing, via computer, at least one garment mold (13) made up of a basic three-dimensional surface, personified by a body (2) enveloping cover. The above mentioned garment mold (13) has to be defined by parametric coordinates. b) adapting, via computer, the garment mold (13) to the above mentioned body (2) loosening and/or tightening different selected areas (15) of the garment mold (13) with respect to the body (2), according to the desired design. c) cutting and removing, via computer, selected areas of the garment mold (13) according to the aforementioned desired design. Additionally the method includes the possibility of applying textures and color attributes to the garment mold and digitally animating the body (2) along with the garment mold (13). The method may include as well an additional step to design via computer patterns starting from the information as defined in the garment mold (13), modeled according to the desired design.
