Israeli developer of software for the fashion and textile industry OptiTex has released the latest version of its flagship 3D Runway software product including a new suite of tools designed for the textile, home furnishing, upholstery and other sewn products industries. 

Aimed at enhancing workflow and collaboration, the new package is said to reduce product development time from design through to production. The fabric simulation software system allows for instant visualisation of pattern modification using 3D on-screen models with adjustable body measurements. It also enables several simulated posture positions and continuity of movement with the garments while enabling the customer to evaluate and comment on the final product before any production material is used. Moreover, it is also said to provide “the perfect tool” to fully present animated current or future collections in a 3D environment with diverse backgrounds and offers the possibility of preparing a full fashion show with more than one avatar on screen.
