Description

Utilizing validated blocks, such as carryover styles, Lotta enables the creation of endless new designs featuring various styles, graphics, fabrics, trims, and color combinations. Effortlessly transfer all-over patterns, logos, and other elements between your preferred Adobe applications and 3D modeling, creating a seamless workflow. Lotta is designed to be user-friendly, so even beginners in 3D design can quickly get started. It offers a comprehensive toolkit that includes draping, styling, and synchronized 3D/2D tools, ranging from 3D drawing to 2D flat pattern creation, along with controls for fabric color, repeat patterns, and logo placement. You can manipulate elements by scaling, rotating, and adjusting seams, trims, buttons, and draw cords with ease. Moreover, you can model prints and logos in various sizes, facilitating well-informed decisions regarding positioning and cropping. The platform allows for the instant visualization of multiple colorways and diverse fabric types within each colorway, enhancing the design process. Additionally, you have the option to explore an extensive library of built-in fabric samples or even upload your own unique fabrics into the system for further experimentation.

Description

Pointcarre is a complete professional textile CAD software that runs natively on both Mac and PC within a single application, a unique combination found in no other solution on the market. It covers the full spectrum of textile design: Jacquard and dobby weaving, digital, rotary and screen printing, jersey knitting, tufting, carpet design and 3D mapping to visualize fabrics realistically on photographs. All modules are integrated into one program, so designers move seamlessly from one discipline to another without switching software. The software ships with more than 4,000 weave structures and includes Pantone, ColorCSI and the Archroma Color Atlas color libraries free of charge. It connects directly to the main industrial machines on the market: looms from Stäubli, Bonas, Itema, Picanol and Dornier, tufting machines from CMC, Tuftco, Vandewiele and Modra, and knitting machines from Stoll and Karl Mayer. Pointcarre is the only textile CAD software with built-in artificial intelligence. Design Maker generates patterns from an inspiration image while respecting the designer's style, Repeat Maker turns any motif into a seamless repeat automatically, and AI Upscaling enhances the resolution of small designs. Jacquard Maker, which builds a complete Jacquard construction instantly, and Natural Blend Color, which simulates ink blending on rotary machines, are exclusive features available nowhere else. With 40 years of experience, Pointcarre is used worldwide by mills, design studios and freelancers in more than 120 countries, and is taught in leading textile design schools and universities, including every NIFT campus in India and NC State in the United States. The company is known for its world-class support, available by phone, chat, email and remote control.
