Marvelous Designer Support

Objective

Change the range, unit, and appearance of Garment Fit Maps.

Location

Main Menu ▶ Settings ▶ Garment Fit Properties

Operation

1. Check the following before using Garment Fitting Maps:
   
   
   • Fabric: Apply the fabric type that is appropriate for the design.
   • Avatar: Use an avatar in the right size. Adjust an avatar size according to your measurement chart or fitting model in the Avatar Editor. Main Menu > Avatar > Avatar Editor > Avatar Size
   • Pose: Choose an avatar’s pose according to your style. Library > Avatar > choose the correct avatar version > Pose
   • High Resolution: Use High Resolution and simulate after. 3D Tool Bar > High-Res Garment
   • Simulation: Change the Simulation Mode to Fitting (Accurate Fabric) or Animation (Stable) 
   • Simulate every time after you change a design / fabric.
     
     
2. Open the Garment Fit Properties window from the Location above and modify its properties:
   
   

   Fit Properties

   Properties	Description
   Stress	Range Color Count	Select 8 or 4 for the range count.
   	Range	kPa	Displays the force per unit area in kPa applied to a garment by external stress. Represents the internal stress and tension in the fabric itself when stretched.
   		gf/cm2	Displays the force per unit area in gf/cm2 applied to a garment by external stress. Measures the actual pressure exerted by the garment on the body surface.
   		mmHg	Displays the force per unit area in mmHg applied to a garment by external stress. Measures the compression pressure applied by the garment to the body.
   	Color	Individually customize the color of the maps.
   	Opacity	Individually adjust the opacity of the color.
   	Graph Type	Gradation	The colors will be applied through gradation.
   		Section	The colors will be applied through sections.
   		Mesh	The color map will be applied on the lines of the mesh.
   		Face	The color map will be applied on the face of the garment.
   		Point	The color map will be applied on the points of the mesh.
   	Show	Select or deselect Weft / Warp / Shear to be included in the fit properties.
   Strain	Range Color Count	Select 8 or 4 for the range count.
   	Range	% (percent)	The strain map is calculated through percentage.
   	Color	Individually customize the color of the maps.
   	Opacity	Individually adjust the opacity of the color.
   	Graph Type	Gradation	The colors will be applied through gradation.
   		Section	The colors will be applied through sections.
   		Mesh	The color map will be applied on the lines of the mesh.
   		Face	The color map will be applied on the face of the garment.
   		Point	The color map will be applied on the points of the mesh.
   	Show	Select or deselect Weft / Warp / Shear to be included in the fit properties.
   Pressure	Range Color Count	Select 8 or 4 for the range count.
   	Range	kPa	Displays the force per unit area in kPa applied to a garment by external stress. Represents the internal stress and tension in the fabric itself when stretched.
   		gf/cm2	Displays the force per unit area in gf/cm2 applied to a garment by external stress. Measures the actual pressure exerted by the garment on the body surface.
   		mmHg	Displays the force per unit area in mmHg applied to a garment by external stress. Measures the compression pressure applied by the garment to the body.
   	Color	Individually customize the color of the maps.

   		Face	The color map will be applied on the face of the garment.
   		Point	The color map will be applied on the points of the mesh.

Workflow guide

※Notes: 

• Only one map can be activated at a time
• When clicking on a point of a garment in the 3D window, the measurement appears.
• Try to raise the percentage value for very stretchy fabrics and to lower percentage value for non-stretch / low-stretch fabrics to get more accurate results. It applies to all three Garment Fit Maps.
• Blue (100%) shows areas where fabric is not stretched, while red shows the most stretched areas. Red areas in the Strain Map are not necessarily a critical issue, but they have to be investigated
  further by using the Stress Map.
• Try different poses such as standing, sitting, or running for checking the fit of the garment.
