CGVista uploads a curated collection of map sources dedicated to clothing patterns and textile surface detail — the layer of a garment that gives it identity before it’s ever worn.

In fashion and costume design, pattern is everything. Two garments with identical silhouettes become entirely different objects the moment their surface changes — a bold geometric print reads one way, a fine embroidered motif reads another, a subtle woven jacquard reads another still. The pattern isn’t decoration applied to the garment. It is the garment. Getting that surface right is what separates a convincing digital fashion piece from something that reads as obviously CG.

This collection focuses on the details that define textile character: the dimensional quality of embroidery, the crispness of screen-printed graphics, the organic rhythm of woven structures. Each map has been selected or produced to capture not just the visual pattern, but the physical behavior of the material beneath it — how it catches light, how it reads at distance, how it holds up in close-up detail shots.

Every texture is built with seamless tiling and pattern continuity in mind. Clothing patterns are uniquely unforgiving — a misaligned repeat or a visible seam breaks the illusion immediately, especially in lookbook and product visualization contexts where the camera can go anywhere.

Albedo, normal, roughness, and displacement maps are included where available, giving you full control over embroidery lift, print depth, and fabric grain across any rendering environment.

Choose the pattern that speaks for the garment — and let the surface tell the story.
