Patchwork3D

Patchwork3D is a post-modeling software tool for industrial CAD and is complementary to existing CAD systems on Windows PCs. The user can import 3-D shapes designed with this traditional CAD system. Interactive testing and digital mockup exploration allow for real-time editing of visual characteristics, such as transparency and refraction, grain, colors and textures, refractivity, complex scene illumination and 2-D unfolding of complex 3-D surfaces for fabric simulation. Users can import and clean up CAD models, improve and optimize geometry, unfold complex surfaces for texture mapping, and present the models using 3-D real time realistic rendering.
