Performance;Textile Image;Textile Simulation;Color and Pattern
Abstract
The expression ability of a commercial textile simulator was investigated by simulating textile images
taking into account the effect of yarn count, weave density, yarn types and weave. The performance of
the simulator was investigated by evaluating and comparing impressions of real textiles and simulated
images. The effect of pattern and textile color on the simulation performance was also studied. It was
found that simulated images of textiles with more complicated and multicolored patterns were perceived
to be more alike to the real textiles. Simulated images with large patterns were also evaluated and
found to compare favorably to real textiles. Color was observed to have no effect on the impression of
simulated textile images. Therefore, textile simulation in the textile trade is more effective on complex
variations of textile patterns and colors.
