Optitex chooses Iray+ for unparalleled render quality of fabrics and avatars

By SilviaP

Today, tech designers and patternmakers alike can benefit from unparalleled render quality, true-to-life validation for designs and save on multiple production samples, shipping time, and costs.

All can be done in real time, with a simple and intuitive GUI from the Optitex Pattern Design Software 3D window, powered by Siemens’s Iray+ high-end visualization libraries.

The Iray+ Software Developer Kit (SDK) allows to easily integrate highly performant photorealistic rendering into 3D software applications. It is a mature solution that builds on NVIDIA’s original Iray® technology, made openly available by Siemens to other software vendors.

Supported by Siemens Iray+, Optitex PDS 3D enables designers to present superior quality rendering of their style with all the material and trim details on a photorealistic avatar, in a scene of their choice. Avatars’ skin and hair look exceedingly realistic, and end-users can experience a seamless visualization workflow, without the need for rendering expertise.

High-end 3D visualization of pattern designs enhances the entire design process, from conception to presentation, leading to better outcomes and greater satisfaction.

Optitex’s decade-long integration of Iray® technology  has amplified the company’s core strength in digitizing development, with particular focus on fit and accuracy. It continues to help meeting the surge in design quantities, streamlining them to production, and reducing brands’ mass returns, while preserving quality, reputation and trust.

Excellent rendering performance is a key feature in all Optitex verticals: apparel, bags and accessories, transportation interiors and furniture.

Graeme McBean, Director of Open Tools, Siemens Software, said, “We are proud to partner with Optitex, to enable them to harness the power of Iray+ and optimize apparel tech designers’ user experience. Working closely with Optitex, we have learned how apparel visualization has its unique challenges and complexities, matched with meeting Optitex’s high standards, not only to make rendering realistic, but to also strictly adhere to precision and accuracy in a fabric’s physical properties, draping, and fit.”

Frank Maeder, President of Optitex and NedGraphics, added, “We are thrilled to partner with Siemens for their Siemens Iray + Software Developer Kit and provide a high-quality visualization solution to our customers. High-end 3D visualization of pattern designs enhances the entire design process, from conception to presentation, leading to better outcomes and greater satisfaction.”
