1. Introduction

Welcome to the PI Apparel training course 'How to Win in 3D - and Rock Your Implementation!'

In this first module, Christian explains what 3D for apparel means, how it can be used to replace 2D and samples, as well as the benefits to consumers.

We also look at some of the major 3D software providers and some of the differences between garments and simulations.

2. Bodies

In this module, we look at avatars and digital bodies. Areas covered include:

• How bodies are represented in a digital environment
• Some of the solution providers in the 'body' space
• Parametric bodies
• Digital dress forms
• Body scanning

3. Fabrics

In this module, we look at cloth in the virtual world. Areas covered include:

• Fabrics in the physical vs the virtual world
• Simulation engines
• Some of the material solution providers
• Challenges and benefits of fabrics in the digital space

4. 3D for Design

In this module, we look using 3D as the design tool - taking the design team from illustrations to simulations.

Areas covered include:

• How to transition your team into a 3D environment
• The benefits of migrating from 2D to 3D design
• How to phase the transition from 2D to 3D
• The language gap

5. 3D for Fit

In this module we look at the differences inherent in fit in the virtual vs physical environments.

Areas covered include:

• Fitting a simulation
• Tools for fit
• Fitting on an avatar

6. Understanding your Organization

In this module we look at the human aspects of starting a 3D implementation, and the importance of identifying your 3D champions.

Areas covered include:

• Who's doing what?
• Who can do what?
• How do your factories and manufacturers play their part in the process?
• Finding your champions

7. Understanding Solutions

In this module we look at how to evaluate and pick the right software solutions for your business.

Areas covered include:

• Picking the right solution(s)
• Getting the most out of a product demo
