Pressure and Tension Maps in Stylezone

With the release of Stylezone 7.3 and VStitcher 2026.1.4, you will now be able to view your style's pressure and tension maps, without having to leave Stylezone.

You will see a new "Fit Review" toggle when opening a style, here you can switch between the tension and pressure maps:

You must have included the BW file in your upload to Stylezone. If a BW file was not included, the tension and pressure maps will be unavailable.

How to generate pressure and tension maps in Stylezone

Stylezone generates pressure and tension maps for styles shared from VStitcher 2026.1.4 or later, and the VQS preset used included a 3D object (GLB) in the upload.

If a style was shared from an earlier version, use one of these options:

  • Option 1 — Reshare the style from VStitcher
    ​Open the style in VStitcher 2026.1.4 or later and share it to Stylezone again as a new version. The updated style will include pressure and tension maps.

  • Option 2 — Re-upload the .bw file to Stylezone directly
    ​Upload the style's .bw file directly into Stylezone. Maps are generated automatically during upload.

​If you're not sure which VStitcher version your style came from, or you need maps generated for a large number of existing styles, contact support

FAQ

Can I adjust the drape inside Stylezone to see updated pressure and tension maps?

  • No, the tension and pressure maps will be unable to be changed. If you need to update the drape of your garment, you will need to open the file in VStitcher and re-simulate before re-uploading to Stylezone.

Will my previously uploaded styles get a tension and pressure map?

  • Any style uploaded using a VStitcher version and build prior to 2026.1.4 will not have a tension and pressure map visible in Stylezone.
