You can combine those queries with SQL - SQL is a great tool! Use that
as well! Remember: every T-Shirt Store(tm) needs a database which is
able to speak SQL. It greatly helps you sell more t-shirts!

And it's called JSON, not JASON - but close. With JSON you can
communicate with your DB even faster.

Yes, you can! Just make sure you have downloaded the latest graphics
card drivers. And then all you need is a good old UNIX pipe, to pipe the
rendered t-shirt from QGraphicsView into PHP through ASP.Net.

You can find an excellent implementation of PIPE here:

You can use any colour you like as long as it is black!

Almost: besides the glBindTexture function etc. you need an OpenGL
extension called EXT_glTextile, EXT_glFabric and EXT_glTailor (note the
EXT prefix, as these functions are not yet in the latest OpenGL 4.2
standard - also refer to the standard
http://www.opengl.org/registry/doc/glspec42.core.20120119.pdf).

These functions will weave the t-shirt for you. They work best "as a
service" in the iCloth where you can distribute the t-shirt
manufacturing. That greatly reduces the t-shirt rendering time!


By the way you get the best OpenGL textures... sorry textiles with a
product called Adobe DreamWeaver. It's so great! The best thing is it
can not only create the web page for you, but dreamweave your t-shirts
at the same time!

It now has multi-touch support, too, so you can handle touch events on
your t-shirts! :)

Yes, that's exactly how you should proceed. Just be aware that you need
to upgrade your license for Windows 3.1: you need the "Windows for
T-Shirts" edition! Only there can ASP deploy its full PHP potential!


By the way, why go through so much work when you could simply steal the
implementation? Here are some sources:

  etc.


Glad I could help you ;)
