Garment simulationusinga physics engine

Abstract

The online market expands by the popularization of the Internet year by year. The products include many variations, and garments comprise a large percentage among them. In comparison with the purchase at the store, the advantage of the online purchase is that customers can choose a favorite one from a wider range of garments. However, the problems are that they cannot get an impression in wearing the garment because it is not possible to try it on before purchasing and that they cannot confirm the coordinates with their own garments. This study focuses on the second problem and proposes a virtual fitting system in which photo images are efficiently translated to the garment model and a physics engine, PhysX, is employed for realistically rendering the garment coordinates.
