Mudpie partner with software house Generation Digital

Creative trend company Mudpie has recently formed an alliance with software house Generation Digital to provide Mudpie’s in-house design team with a Computer-Aided Design solution incorporating Photoshop and Illustrator. Generation Digital Solutions specialise in developing software especially aimed at Computer-Aided Design artists who use these programs in their daily work. Available for both MAC and PC based users, the software includes tools such as:

Vector Repeat Pro which allows the designer to produce repeats of a pattern in a streamlined process.

Vector Weave Pro which is capable of developing complex dobby woven products and which enables the designer to develop intricate woven patterns. It also allows the designer to output the design as a technical specification for the manufacturer.

Fashion Sketch which allows the designer to see both sides of a garment whilst drawing; any lines drawn can be adjusted at any time and be drawn symmetrically, and stitch lines can be automatically generated.  Once the design is complete, a copy can be created to fill and create specifications.  The fashion measurement tool enables the designer to do call outs within an image.

The associated benefits for Mudpie include the ability to improve on professional, complex weave designs, use different types of repeats creatively and utilise a variety of colourway options. Mudpie designers will have the ability to perform tasks that will benefit the overall standard of Mudpie’s products and services for their customers.

A corporate subscription to the software which includes installation, training, support, new modules and upgrades is currently US$3,000 per annum (freelancers US$1,000).
