Whether it is a material with
the flowing smoothness of silk or the crisp stylishness of cotton, clothes
of the same design can look completely different depending on the fabric.
One can easily see how materials take on a different shape merely by holding a swatch of each in the palm of one's hand. When fabrics flow in the breeze as you walk down the street, and through various designs, the appearance of the material can appear completely different. DressingSim is the name for this technology that can simulate the movement and silhouette of clothing without actually having to try anything on. |

This technology
can be largely broken down into two separate technologies. The first is
using computers to create three-dimensional clothing forms from two-dimensional
paper patterns. The second technique involves creating movement by transferring
the physical properties of a material onto clothes programmed into the
computer. We have combined these two technologies and in a computer environment
have been able to convey how clothes move as if they were being worn and
walked in by an actual human being. In other words, before the actual assembly and sewing of material after a pattern has been decided upon, people can now confirm with their own eyes through the computer what sort of silhouette and movement these clothes would have. Furthermore, by trying silk, cotton, wool, or any other materials in the simulation, it is possible to choose the fabric that is appropriate for each design. We believe that this technology in which the computer can simulate silhouettes beforehand is indispensable in the apparel industry, where numerous articles are designed each month and there is no room for compromise on the selection of materials. |

 Based
on actual material traits, DressingSim
illustrates a very realistic view of how clothes look when humans walk
in them by simulating the movement of different fabrics. The clothes simulation
images of DressingSim can now be
easily accessed as they run on specific computer graphics software that
is currently available. In recent years "How close can it get to
the real thing?" has been becoming the valued standard of the world
that is computer graphics. In this eclectic world covering fields such
as games, movies, and animation, DressingSim
is looking to play a big part in this expression of virtual reality with
its own cutting-edge technology. |
