Patchwork 3D

Patchwork 3D is a 3D creation software designed by Lumiscaphe that aims to bring CAD models to life in photorealistic environments. According to the vendor, the software is targeted at small to large companies and is commonly used by professionals in industries such as product design, industrial design, architecture, automotive design, and furniture design.

Key Features

Real-time 3D rendering software: Patchwork 3D offers real-time rendering capabilities, allowing users to optimize their CAD models and make real-time adjustments throughout the project. The vendor claims that this feature provides a faster and more efficient work experience.

Photo-realistic materials: According to the vendor, Patchwork 3D enables the creation of photo-realistic materials and stickers in metric scale. The software offers a variety of multilayered materials, textures, and patterns, allowing users to create visually appealing designs.

Unfolding workshop: Patchwork 3D includes an unfolding workshop feature that allows users to unfold 3D models and visualize them in 2D. The vendor states that this feature prepares the surface for precise material application using metric UV adjustment, ensuring accurate representation of the final product.

Billions of configurations: Patchwork 3D allows users to customize their products by creating shape and color variations in real-time. According to the vendor, this feature enables the presentation of products with different configurations and customization options.

Stitching Workshop (Exclusive to the Enterprise version): The Stitching Workshop simplifies the creation of seams on soft materials. The vendor claims that this feature offers two modes, "free draw seam" and "follow surface boundary," making seam design easy and efficient.

Iray: Patchwork 3D utilizes Iray, a physics-based rendering engine that produces photo-realistic images. According to the vendor, Iray simulates the behavior of light and materials, resulting in visually immersive and realistic visualizations.

Embossed materials: According to the vendor, Patchwork 3D provides a feature that allows users to add depth and geometric relief effects to materials with a single click, enhancing the visual appeal of designs.

Illumination: Patchwork 3D offers various illumination tools for creating studio-quality effects. The vendor claims that users can configure an infinite number of lighting scenarios via layers, allowing them to achieve the desired lighting effects for their designs.

Python Scripting (Exclusive to the Enterprise version): Patchwork 3D includes Python scripting capabilities, allowing users to automate tasks and create custom materials or lighting layers. The vendor states that this feature provides advanced functionality and flexibility for users to streamline their workflow and enhance productivity.

Measuring tools and clipping planes: Patchwork 3D provides measuring tools that display the distance between two points, facilitating precise measurements in the design process. Additionally, users can utilize clipping planes to create cross-sections and visualize internal structures, aiding in the analysis and evaluation of designs.
