• Background
• Preliminary Experiment
• Goal of Research
• 2D Patterns  3D Garment
• Our approach
Background

• For fashion industry

‒ Develop a virtual production line
‒ Design, stitch and modify 2D patterns
‒ Preview the 3D garment
‒ …
• For customer
‒ Virtual try on the garment
‒ …
2D 3D Simulation
Preliminary Experiment

• Experiment—Fashionizer 2.1
‒ Step1: 2D pattern design
‒ Step2: Place 2D patterns around 3D body model
Preliminary Experiment

2D Pattern  3D Garment

• 2D3D Prepositioning
‒ Manual Prepositioning
‒ Semi-automatic Prepositioning
▪ Method 1 based on bounding surface (by Germany scientists)
▪ Method 2 based on offset mannequin (by Italian scientists)
▪ Method 3 based on figurine (by French scientists)
‒ Automatic Prepositioning
▪ Need to be developed
2D Pattern  3D Garment

• Method 1: based on bounding surface

‒ This method was proposed by Clemens G., Arnulph F. in 2003.
‒ Geometric method for pre-positioning the cloth patterns around a
virtual figurine.

Arranging Patterns

Flatten Bounding Surface

Body Segment

• Method 2: based on offset mannequin

‒ This method was proposed by Fontana M., Caterina R. in 2005
‒ 2D3D mapping procedure
▪ 2D patterns can be folded
▪ 2D patterns cannot be subjected to in-plane deformation
‒ Based on developable surface partitioning

Tight-fitting positioning
2D Pattern  3D Garment

• Method 3: based on figurine

‒ This method was proposed by Le Thanh, T. Gagalowicz, A. in 2009
‒ Geometric solution
▪ Assign the interaction part to the designer
▪ Produce a pre-positioning for client
