Fashion Design Enters the "Virtual" Age

The two-dimensional garment cad technology based on graphic design has matured, but there are also some deficiencies: style design and pattern design are separated, visually poor, whether the pattern is suitable to be repeated proofing production, high technical requirements for the playing board personnel.

In recent years, with the development of 3D computer graphics, 3D cad software based on three-dimensional cropping has become more and more practical, allowing fashion designers to carry out “virtual” design on computers, that is, using computers on virtual models. Style design, then produce 2d patterns, as well as virtual fitting, model catwalk and so on.

Virtual mannequin/human body model

The three-dimensional human/human model is the basis of the three-dimensional garment design. The 3D garment cad stores a human/human body model based on three-dimensional measurement technology, and the designer can select the model size according to the number type. The size of the model can also be modified in accordance with the actual size of the human body through parameterization to meet the needs of personalized customization.

Virtual style design

On the virtual mannequin, the gentleman becomes the basic style of the clothing, and then on this basis, the style line is drawn interactively to obtain different styles. Like the three-dimensional cutting, after the drawing of the style line is completed, the three-dimensional clothing piece can be automatically unfolded into a two-dimensional piece, and corrections can be made, and further grading and nesting work can be performed. That is to say, the connection between the style and the pattern is established. As long as the style design is completed, the pattern design work is completed, thereby greatly reducing the workload of the pattern design.

Virtual fitting and virtual model catwalk

The generated 2D tablets can also be further "virtual stitching" so as to be worn on the model body and the effect of wearing it intuitively. You can also set the action to achieve a virtual model dynamic catwalk.

With the development of apparel production from mass customization to personalized customization, traditional design methods have become increasingly unsatisfactory. Virtual design has provided designers with great convenience. The use of 3D virtual design in fashion design work is imperative. .
