Smocking Effect
This video was recorded using version 2021.1.
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.
