Draping
Simulate fabric fall and light interaction on 3D meshes. Move beyond flat previews to volumetric validation.

Mockup sign-off after landed cost is clear
- Lock landed cost in the calculator
Combine price per meter/m²/kg, waste % and piece count in the Fabric Cost Calculator. Align oz/yd² mill quotes with the GSM converter, then copy summary into purchasing notes.
- Upload approval designs to Mockup Studio
Once cost and meter need are clear, move the same repeats into Mockup Studio as PNG/JPEG. Follow scale/rotate steps in the mockup guide — buyer approval should precede PO signature.
- Validate collection cost with a mockup pack
For multiple designs or colorways, batch mockups into one buyer pack. Landed cost per piece comes from this calculator; visual sign-off from Mockup — together they cut PO risk.
Fabric weight prep before buyer mockup sign-off
- Lock weight in the tech pack and cost sheet
Convert oz/yd² quotes to g/m² in this tool and paste into the GSM field on the Fabric Cost Calculator. Roll-weight estimates and landed cost should sit on the same PO line — wrong weight skews mockup scale.
- Pick mesh and drape for the GSM
Heavy GSM drapes differently on scarf vs tee templates. Choose the template in Mockup Studio after weight lock-in — lighter fabrics show fine motifs more cleanly; heavier fabrics need wider repeats for natural drape.
- Render photoreal mockups after cost is clear
Once landed cost and waste % are locked, upload the same repeats into Mockup Studio as PNG/JPEG. Buyer approval should precede PO signature — follow scale/rotate steps in the mockup guide.
