Smocking effect can be added using one of the following methods:
-
Method One
Add an additional pattern piece with an image of smocking over existing shirring done on a garment. This is more suitable for simpler smocking effects.
-
The pattern created must be 100% transparent so that you will be able to see the shirring details below.
-
The smocking embroidery must be edited and added in as a separate image.
-
Lock the shirred patterns before simulating the new patterns above to maintain the shirring effect created.
-
-
Method Two
Use depth maps like normal and displacement maps for both shirring and smocking effects. This is more suitable for complicated smocking effects.
-
Create the normal and displacement maps in external image-editing or 3D software or by scanning using a Vizoo scanner.
-
Apply these maps on a flat pattern piece.
-
Displacement map effects are visible in ray trace rendering output.
-
-
Method Three
Apply the smocking detail as an edge assignable trim for curved patterns. This method also utilizes depth maps applied on flat pattern pieces.
-
Create a seamless trim image in external image-editing software.
-
Use auto-generate depth maps to create the raised effect, or create a normal and displacement map externally.
-
Displacement map effects are visible in ray trace rendering output.
