Develop polished fashion visuals from Modaris 3D garment prototype views.
Apparel patternmaking, grading, and 2D/3D prototyping software for garment development. Modaris supports the work from base pattern creation through approved patterns and 3D prototypes, helping product-development teams evaluate garments before production.

Lectra Modaris is used by apparel patternmakers and product-development teams to create and modify patterns, grade sizes, and examine garment prototypes in 3D. Its 3D workflow links production patterns with a virtual garment, so a useful source image for RENDERCAD is a deliberate prototype view showing the approved silhouette, fabric character, colorway, seam and style-line placement, and mannequin pose. After the team has reviewed fit and construction in Modaris, RENDERCAD can develop that view into a more polished fashion visual for a line review, merchandising story, buyer presentation, or early campaign concept. It is most useful when the goal is to communicate the design direction, not to make another technical sample. Keep the native Modaris pattern, grade, fabric properties, fit assessment, and production approval as the source of truth; a generated image should not be used to validate sizing, drape, construction details, or manufacturability.
First, use Modaris to refine the pattern and assess the 3D prototype with the intended material, color, and mannequin. Capture a clean, front, three-quarter, or detail view after the garment direction is approved, with the apparel large in frame and overlays, pattern pieces, and diagnostic views removed. In RENDERCAD, use the image as a visual reference and describe the desired presentation treatment, such as a restrained studio fashion image, an editorial setting, or a coordinated collection look. Compare outputs against the Modaris view so the garment identity remains clear, then use selected images in range reviews, merchandising decks, and concept conversations. Return to Modaris for every fit, grading, fabric, and technical decision.

RENDERCAD uses a maintained selection of image-generation models for different rendering tasks. Results can vary by model and input, so compare generated output with the source design before relying on geometry, materials, or dimensions.

Read the numbers. We trust you to know theirs.
Skip a separate local scene build. Pick a condition, material, and background while RENDERCAD handles the image-generation step. Image renders complete in 60 seconds.
Common solutions for Lectra Modaris users
Upload a clear image, choose the Realistic engine, and describe a large soft light source or overcast lighting. Generated shadows are visual approximations, not a physical lighting calculation.
Yes. Choose the Dolly In or Dolly Out camera preset in the Video panel, then review the clip for product and geometry fidelity.
No local NVIDIA rendering GPU is required. Use a supported browser to upload an image or a current capture tool to select a screenshot; generation runs on cloud infrastructure.
The Render History page lets you browse and download retained images and videos. Storage duration depends on the account plan, so download assets you need before they expire.
Use the web upload workflow, the current desktop capture app, or the browser extension to submit a selected 2D view. This is a screenshot workflow, not a native CAD-file or renderer integration.
The core workflow starts from a selected 2D view, so it does not require native CAD-file conversion or source-model upload.
Reuse a clear history image and change the color instruction or reference. Treat the results as visual options rather than color-managed proof.
Describe the finish, gloss, grain direction, and lighting, or provide an authorized material reference. Generated reflections are visual approximations rather than physically verified material behavior.
It uses generative image models with screenshot or image inputs. Models and features can change over time, so current product documentation is the source of truth.
Video jobs consume credits based on current duration and model settings. Check the pricing page for current costs rather than comparing with an assumed outsourcing price.
A material photo can communicate grain, color, and finish more directly than text alone. Compare the result with the intended material because scale and orientation can drift.
Use overlapping masked regions with separate references or instructions, then inspect the transition and iterate where a boundary is visible.
