Trace a Pattern from a Photo CLO

in this video I'm going to share with you tips and  techniques on how to import a pattern photo into   closed 3d then trace that pattern and export it as  a PNG file so you can turn that pattern into a PDF   sewing pattern hi I'm rose willing from encoder  fashions option 1 how to import a pattern photo   into clothes ready to import a photo into clothes  3d so we are here in cloak workspace I'm going to   object browser and below that is the fabric see  this fabric one I'm going to change that name   to texture then press ENTER to confirm after that  come down here you see under the property editor   I'm going to texture and click on this texture  icon then this window pop up I'm going to navigate   to my photo that I save it earlier so desktop  and under jacket pattern I'm going to click on   that pattern photo then come over here I'm there  open and click open now as you can see this is the   photo that I imported earlier as well us down here  in texture okay option 2 how to trace the pattern   from a photos to trace the pattern first I'm  going to create a square Bock and it's the pen on   the side of your pattern my pattern is a jacket so  I'm going to create a box that as big as my jacket   and to create a square Bock I'm going to go to  this you see right here if you hover your mouse   over this tool you will see polygon tool rectangle  tool and I'm going to select a rectangle tool okay   after that I'm going to click one on the workspace  and then this will bring the create rectangle   window pop-up and I'm gonna change the width to  300 centimeter then the height 300 centimeter   okay and if you guys don't have the centimeter  I have a video that how to chain the unit so go   to my channel in code of fashion and then you can  watch the video how to change the unit okay after   a chain the size of the rectangular to 300 by 300  centimeter I'm going to click OK so by default   the square box is feel that the texture that we  imported the photo earlier and next I'm going   to create a referent bulk this Reverend Bach  is referred to the actual side of the pattern   let me zoom in you just scroll your mouse field  forward to zoom in and let me show you what is   the reference to you see this number right here 27  centimeter before I took this photo I measure this   pattern and equal to 27 centimeter okay to get an  actual size I'm going to create a reference but to   do so I'm going to this rectangle tool click on it  to select then click one on the page to bring this   create rectangle window after that I'm going  to change the width to 20 centimeter than the   height to Phi centimeter the height doesn't really  matter that much but the whip you have to create   exactly the number that you label on your pattern  to get an accurate size okay after that I'm going   to click OK next I want to apply a new fabric onto  the square bar to do so I'm going to add you see   under object browser click on this Add button to  add a fabric and I'm going to change the name to   a reference ok then press ENTER to confirm after  that I'm going to transform pattern tool click   on it to select come back down here and click  on that reference book and go to the reference   rubric right here and you see this arrow just  click on it to apply the fabric next I'm going   to turn this back into a transparent surface to  do so I'm going to this menu right here and then   go to transparent surface click on it and click  on it again to get the effect that we won now   as you can see I can see through this pattern and  just zoom in as close as possible you can see see   right here we want it as accurate as possible to  the pattern itself ok next I'm going to scale this   pattern to fit with the reference box okay to do  so I'm going to this edit texture tool click on it   and after that you come to this page area just  click one to pay and while this grain line is   active we can come over here you see the gizmo  hover your mouse over and then slide it to the   right to make the pattern Baker and sly it to the  left to make the pattern smaller and if you want   to move this pattern around you can just click on  the page and then drag as you can see I'm moving   the pattern around this box in the square box the  pattern move around but the square but listen move   okay it's only affect the texture so I'm going to  zoom in a little more by scrolling the mouse wheel   forward because I want to get these accurate side  to the pattern itself okay and if somehow these   grain lines not act there you just go back to the  Edit texture tool click on it and then come back   click on the plate again and dandy gizmo symbol  will come back and then it's active again alright   so I'm gonna continue to scale it to fit the  pattern with the referent Bock okay and right   now as you can see the referent Bach is still a  little bit too big compared to the pattern so I'm   going to scale the pattern a little bit bigger  and to do so however your mouse or worthies you   see the yellow diagonal line when you hover your  mouse over and scale it to the right just click it   and then slide it to the right okay and now it's  almost there let me zoom in we want it as accurate   as possible guy because we one day to have exact  side we don't want to be ignored too small okay now as you can see we have it I'm going to click  on the pattern of cell I'm going to adjust the   texture so I can have the whole thing then I  can trace okay I'm going to pan the pattern up   a little bit press down all and then click  on the page to pan the pattern and you can   also adjust these window bigger and smaller  it's just hover your mouse or where it is and   then drag to the left to expand the 2d window  and now I'm gonna zoom in a little more just   scroll the mouse wheel forward and you see right  here I only need to do one scale to this pattern   then next I'm going to trace that pattern I have  back jacket front jacket and asleep I'm going to   begin tracing the back pattern the sleeve and the  front pattern to do so I'm going to internal see   right here internal polygon / line tool click  on it then I'm going to zoom in a little more   and begin by click 1 then click it again this  is important guy you see this curve right here   this am hole I'm going to click and drag to  create that curve okay do it again and then   next I'm gonna repeat this step on the waist  of the jacket as well as on the hip and come   down here clicking click it again this tool is  amazing guy then on the neck I'm gonna click drag next I'm gonna zoom in closer to adjust if  anything that I can fix for example right   here in the next look I kind of make a mess here  okay instead of create a curve I create a two   point so to fix that I'm going to you see these  Edit pattern tool click on it and then you come   back and click on here just click on one then I'm  going to press a Delete key on your keyboard to   delete that point next I'm going to delete both  of the points next I'm going to select this edit   curvature tool click on it and then you come  over here click on one and then just drag it   to create the curve okay after that as you can see  closely you see I did not do a good job on placing   all these line on top the pattern but that's okay  what we can do go to this edit pattern tool click   on it to select and come back here click on the  point you see right here be sure only the point   you selected right now I can tell only the point  is selected because only the point is highlighted   ok after that I'm gonna click on it and then just  drag it to fit the pattern okay and I'm gonna do   the same with right here click on just a point and  then get it to fit the pattern and press down all   and click on the page to pan your pattern around  next do the same thing click on to the point and   then adjust the pattern to fit choose me adjust  the internal line to fit the pattern and we're   gonna do the same right here and add these curves  just need a little help here after that press down   all click on the pay to drag and don't be trying  to zoom in close because we want it as accurate   as possible okay it's you know designing making  code is a lot all about detail let me see so I'm   gonna go back to edit pattern tool click on it  and then come back here and to it just a point   just click on each point and adjust it again zoom  in again and come back here and just a just a lil   bit to get it all fed after that just zoom in in  this area and then look right here we don't want   to adjust this line we want a just just a point  it right here also not is highlight yellow we're   not gonna just we're gonna just click over here  on the point and then adjust just a point okay   looks like we're doing a good job with adjusting  and creating the pattern so next this is the fun   part okay we're going to clone this internal line  to a pattern to do that now I'm going to go to   this pattern tool transform pattern tool click on  it after that you come back over here click on the   internal pattern that we trace earlier and then  click on it and right-click and we're gonna clone   as pattern ok now you can just you know click on  the on any place in the page just click 1 now we   place this pattern okay next we're gonna repeat  the step with
