Overview The Optitex Sample Pack is a separate package that can be installed during the Optitex installation process.

The Sample Pack files are located in your Optitex Project folder (depending on the type of installation):

C:\Program Files\Optitex\Samples

The Sample Pack includes a variety of 3D accessories that can be used to enhance your 3D samples as well as 2D patterns that were already stitched for you.


3D Content includes:

Color Pallets: These are ACO files that can be used when you are using the Shader Manager and you want to change the color palate.

Mannequins: These are MOD files that include different mannequins for men, women, and children. They can be animated with poses or parametric.

Props: These are rigid parts which are broken down into two types: Button Shapes and Segment Shapes and can be added to your pattern as accessories, different stiches, etc.

Textures: These are PNG files that can be used as textures in the Shader Manager.


Rigid Parts/Props Rigid Parts can be used when you want to add accessories to your 3D samples.

There are two types of Rigid Parts:

There are two types of file types available in the categories.

• MOD files: These files were created via a 3D software and can be opened in the PDS. These files are editable: position, color, scaling, etc. All Button Shapes are MOD files.
