A computer implemented method for rapid creation of patterns for apparel, accessory and footwear, the method comprising:
- Encapsulation:
- wherein, a preset pattern element is provided for at least each of the anatomical extensions from the human torso, namely Neck, Arm hole (Scye) and Leg hole (Stride), comprising the Encapsulated Components.
- Intersection:
- wherein, a plurality of basic geometry such as rectangle, circle, path, arc and line are intersected with each other and the Encapsulated Components to create Composite Components.
- Abstraction:
- wherein, each Component includes a Defining Attribute for at least one of its points, the attributes chosen from a list consisting of Neck point, Shoulder point, Chest point, Waist point, Hip point, Thigh point, Bicep point, Elbow point, Wrist point, Knee point, Ankle point, Head Point and Body Height.
- Coupling:
- wherein, one or more Components are linked together, such that changes to the length or shape of one, automatically changes the corresponding shape or length of the other.
