Diamond-shaped shaded weave series created by transforming small twills to enrich the surface texture of woven Jacquards

摘要

Digital Jacquard textiles have been introduced through various approaches to the capability enhancement of colorudexpression and novel design proposition in modern weaving. Because of its a wide scope of weave colors with audsmall number of fillings, the basic weave structure of satin is widely adopted in the creation of shaded weave series,udas they are highly reliable in presenting the natural color shading with maximized luster. However, its surface texture isudlimited with consistent traverse lines attributed to regular stitching points in their structure combination. Therefore, audnew silhouette of shaded weave series is proposed and explored with twills to enlarge and vary the woven textureudeffects. The shading effect with single twills will be presented in a linear and contrasting way; when small twill lines are cutudand replaced, the converted format will enable the creation of a varied surface touch. By finding the base marks whereudthe total interlacement of a repeat is proportionally divided, small twill lines are transformed by adding interweavingudpoints to build into a series. Furthermore, the basic principles received from satin-based shaded series are applied to theudachievement of gradient shading effects. In terms of weave pattern design, each color layer is individually designed withudlevels of grayscales and defines each color region and color density to achieve a high-quality color presentation, as well asuda unique texture.
