3D Garment Prototyping from 2D Drawings

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to transfer the designer’s 2D drawings into 3D virtual garment. The designer is required to provide minimum two silhouettes for the front view and the back view of the original design. The silhouettes are triangulated to form a mass-spring system. The virtual sewing of the silhouettes generates the initial shell of the 3D garment. The following drape simulation finalizes the 3D configuration of the original design. Euler integration and Verlet integration are employed for sewing and draping respectively. Various experimental results validate that this method is an effective approach in fast prototyping 3D counterpart of the original design.
