WHAT IS YOUR SOURCE OF INSPIRATION?

Summary/Abstract: On designing and realization of aesthetic appearance of compound woven structures, each of us uses any visual sources that could inspire us. In this paper were generated new woven structures on the principle of communicating vessels as a metaphor, so that one structure helps the other and is complementary to it. For this purpose was used ArahWeave CAD/CAM textile software for dobby and Jacquard fabric design and weaving, which offers such innovative design possibilities and helps to create amazing patterns. ArahWeave has a special function for constructing multiple layer weaves with different densities in warp and weft layers. The maximum weave size is „limited” to 65520 by 65520 threads in ArahWeave Pro and 262080 by 262080 threads in ArahWeave Pro XL. In the Tools menu from Edit weave are advanced weave editing functions, which can be used both on dobby or Jacquard woven fabrics. As sample, in the Edit decomposed window from Tools, the weave area is split into „weave table”, where the number of columns is number of warps, and the number of rows is number of wefts. The „limitations” of a decomposed weave means maximum weave systems of 16 warps and 16 wefts. These so-called „limitations” are motivated only by deeper due to technical weaving reasons on dobby and Jacquard looms. By applying weave to fabric tool, the result will be immediately visible on fabric in the main window, in a selected mode of view (Weave, Integer, Shaded integer or Simulation), and appears at the desired zoom level. The hyper realistic woven fabric simulations in ArahWeave, ArahDrape, ArahView3D or Arahne online configurator mean cost and time saving and the best design solutions for a creative work.
