NU MOTIF Studio

From a single AI-generated print to a published fashion campaign — patterns, garments, photoshoots and film, all in one studio.

An AI-powered creative studio for fashion designers and brands. It takes a single seamless print all the way from idea to a finished season campaign — generating repeat patterns, dressing them onto 3D garments, art-directing AI photoshoots, turning stills into motion and packaging everything into a shareable lookbook — without a designer ever leaving the browser.

The challenge

Bringing a fashion print to market normally means juggling separate tools and specialists — a textile designer for the repeat, a 3D artist for the garment mockup, a photographer and models for the campaign shoot, and a layout designer for the lookbook. That workflow is slow, expensive and hard for small or independent labels to access. Brands needed a single place to move from a blank idea to publish-ready campaign assets.

What we built

We built an end-to-end fashion creation platform with a guided project flow: create a project, generate or hand-build a seamless pattern, preview it on a 3D garment, then use AI to shoot the garment on a chosen model, backdrop and lighting. Approved stills can be animated into short films and assembled into a multi-page lookbook. A credit-based account system, secure asset storage and per-user project isolation sit underneath it all.

Key features

  • Guided project-to-campaign flow

    A single walkthrough takes one motif through pattern, garment, shoot, film and lookbook, so users always know the next step.

  • AI & manual pattern design

    Generate seamless repeat prints from a prompt — with palette, composition and real-world motif sizing in centimetres — or build them by hand, with up to four versions per pattern.

  • Production-ready export

    Patterns export as high-resolution TIFF files at print DPI, ready to hand to a manufacturer.

  • 3D garment preview

    See a print wrapped onto a garment in an interactive 3D viewer before committing to a shoot.

  • AI photoshoots

    Composite the garment with a chosen model, backdrop and lighting into campaign imagery at multiple aspect ratios, including custom backdrop uploads.

  • Stills to film

    Animate an approved campaign still into a short branded video.

  • Lookbook builder

    Assemble pages into a shareable, exportable lookbook, ready for PDF.

  • Accounts, credits & secure storage

    Email-verified sign-up, a starting credit balance, and every project scoped privately to its owner.

Engineering highlights

  • A true idea-to-publish pipeline

    One seamless motif flows through five creative stages — pattern, 3D garment, AI shoot, film, lookbook — inside a single connected product, not a bundle of disconnected tools.

  • Design meets manufacturing

    Patterns are defined in real-world units, with motif and tile sizes in centimetres, and export as print-grade TIFFs — bridging creative work and factory-ready output.

  • Real-time 3D in the browser

    Garments render and update live using WebGL, so designers preview prints on clothing with no specialist software.

  • Resilient, ownership-safe architecture

    Long-running AI jobs self-recover from interruptions on restart, and every project, pattern and asset is strictly scoped to its owner so data is never exposed across accounts.
