Automatic pre-positioning of virtual clothing

In this paper we present a method for dressing virtual humans using CAD cloth data. Our method is based on the idea of geometric pre-positioning and physically-based simulation for end-positioning. The geometric pre-positioning algorithm places several pieces of clothing automatically and simultaneously around the human body in such a way that the final fitting can be computed efficiently by a physically-based cloth simulation. The dressed virtual humans look realistic and our dressing method can be used in applications like a virtual boutique.
