#displaed ar-pattern-project
The project solves a problem I have. I have created a parametric pattern with Seamly2D and I want to transfer markings onto fabric. I do not have a large format printer.
- Use Seamly2D to create my shirt pattern pieces.
- In Seamly2D generate a layout and export it to SVG.
- Load the SVG into Inkscape and manually adjust pieces if necessary.
- Load the SVG into ar-project-pattern.
- Calibrate the AR world to your surroundings and adjust the pattern to lay exactly over your fabric.
- Mark the pattern onto the material with chalk.
- Cut out the pattern and sew it up.
Post processing Seamly2d looks like this for me:
A screenshot of the calibration pattern
The left thumbstick will translate the patten plane. The right thumbstick will rotate the pattern plane using left and right. Up and down on the right thumbstick will translate the pattern plane in the vertical direction. The pattern plane is always projected horizontally. Take time to position the plan perfectly on the fabric.
When the ar-pattern-project has AR mode enabled without loading a costom pattern SVG file a 'reference' pattern is shown. This pattern includes a 1M reference square. Use this square to verify that the projection is correctly calibrated. Use known measurements on your SVG pattern to ensure the chalk pattern that you transferred onto the fabric is correctly calibrated.
- Use some tools to convert the large SVG into multiple A4 pages for printing. Print them and then tape them together.
- Use a projector to project the pattern onto fabric. This requires calibration of the projector.
- Use a flatbed laser cutter.
