So today, I gave a short presentation on the Black Panther suit in my program. It was totally just meant to be a short demo but I ended up wanting to take it further and decided to develop the suit pattern.
There's a lot of work that went into the construction of the suit, a texture and design layout was printed onto pieces of fabric, then during the second phase after it's all sewn up and enveloped over the muscle suit, the rubber parts were molded cut and embedded over its corresponding pattern.
Like the Ant-Man Civil War suit, there's an undersuit that has a "vest piece" that covers it which allows for full range of motion in the arms.
Texture:
One of the most amazing things about the suit that I got my hands on is the texture, it's a weave of pairs that creates the illusion of a weave. The texture is printed on thin spandex fabric that allows the fabric to contour and accentuate the under muscles, much like the Batman DoJ and Man of Steel suit.
I commissioned a graphic texture from a friend of mine, and even sent him the dimensions of the fabric swatch I had, and he whipped out for me an exact to scale texture that I can use to screen print later. In addition to that, I found out I can upload textures to the folks who invented this patterning program for my own use.
