PAD System has a ticket to Hollywood thanks to Andy Wilkes, our agent in L.A. who is also a well-known CAD designer
The following is an excerpt from an article in the Tech Notes section of the California Apparel News magazine, July 8-14, 2005 issue.
Andy Wilkes, PAD System's agent and the owner of Siren in Los Angeles, is one of several Los Angeles apparel designers who supply the entertainment industry with garments that are produced locally and quickly. He has 25 years of experience in the industry and he and his five-members staff can pump out the most intricate costume in a few hours by using PAD System Pattern Design and Haute Couture 3D software.
Recently, Wilkes provided the sexy corset Angelina Jolie wore during the dominatrix scene in 20th Century Fox's current release "Mr. and Mrs. Smith".
For his creations, Andy Wilkes actively uses Haute Couture 3D of PAD, as well as Maya and Syflex, and he recognizes that his work depends on the quality of the software tools which has disposal. Designing such garments on a computer allows Wilkes to make alterations with the click of a mouse. "3D is a new thing," he said. "It's a part of a new paradigm where you can view all the iterations before you make a sample. You can use it for display and merchandize by making a 3D model of your fit model. You can share it between designers and sales staff who might be on road. It's a new way of communicating."
The high quality of PAD System's software are also recognizes by the Hollywood entertainment industry with the use of PAD's pattern design program to design clothing for the characters of Disney/Pixar's movie "The Incredibles", the Oscar's winning animation film. "The Incredibles" broke ground because it was the first movies to use CAD and animation technology to make clothing more lifelike.
"The technology is a set of tools to help improve accuracy" said Andy Wilkes.
