3D Distance Field-Based Apparel Modeling

抄録

This study aims to design an apparel item by converting a polygon model of the human body obtained through a 3D scan into a volume model. From the model, we can quickly generate a curved surface that retains a constant distance from the surface of the body, thus being able to design an apparel item that ensures accurate allowance by defining the distance field for the surface of the body. The curved surface, which would be an ideal garment that can envelop the body, can be generated by tweaking the threshold value for an isosurface from the surface of the body. Furthermore, by drawing design lines on the curved surface, the pattern required for actual sewing can be designed in 3D space. The curved surface trimmed by the design lines is converted into a polygon mesh. A dynamics simulation is applied to smooth the curvatures so that the desired flat surface pattern can be obtained. As a result of actually sewing the virtually designed pattern and trying it on, it was shown that we can generate clothes with the appropriate allowance and proportions.
