Abstract
Systems and methods for digital rendering items with designs incorporate therein are disclosed. According to certain aspects, an electronic device may support a design application that may modify a digital image using an identity texture and a texture map, resulting in the modified digital image taking the shape or form of a portion of a digital model of an item. The electronic device may generate a digital rendering of the item using the modified digital image and the digital model of the item, and may enable a user to review the digital rendering and/or place an order for a physical version of the item according to the digital rendering.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method of digitally rendering items, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- accessing, by a processor, a digital image and an identity texture;
- generating, by the processor, a texture map by modifying the identity texture based at least in part on a digital model of an item;
- encoding, by the processor, visual content of the digital image by applying the texture map to the digital image;
- modifying, by the processor, the digital image using the visual content that was encoded;
- generating, by the processor, a digital rendering of the item based on (i) the digital image that was modified, and (ii) the digital model of the item;
- and
- displaying, in a user interface, the digital rendering of the item.
A system for digitally rendering items, comprising:
- a user interface;
- a memory storing a set of computer-readable instructions;
- and
- a processor interfacing with the user interface and the memory, and configured to execute the set of computer-readable instructions to cause the processor to:
- access a digital image and an identity texture,
- generate a texture map by modifying the identity texture based at least in part on a digital model of an item,
- encode visual content of the digital image by applying the texture map to the digital image,
- modify the digital image using the visual content that was encoded,
- generate a digital rendering of the item based on (i) the digital image that was modified, and (ii) the digital model of the item, and
- cause the user interface to display the digital rendering of the item.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a set of instructions, executable by at least one processor, for digitally rendering items, the instructions comprising:
- instructions for accessing a digital image and an identity texture;
- instructions for generating a texture map by modifying the identity texture based at least in part on a digital model of an item;
- instructions for encoding visual content of the digital image by applying the texture map to the digital image;
- instructions for modifying the digital image using the visual content that was encoded;
- instructions for generating a digital rendering of the item based on (i) the digital image that was modified, and (ii) the digital model of the item;
- and
- instructions for displaying, in a user interface, the digital rendering of the item.
