Abstract:
In this talk, we discuss the knitting system we incorporated into our proprietary woven fabric generation tool, Weave. To make our system production-usable for a large number of characters, we implemented several tools to automate the generation and placement of knitted patterns. This allows artists to create knitted garments with a few simple steps using techniques they are already familiar with, while taking advantage of features in our existing cloth tools.
