A spring-mass model-based approach for warping cloth patterns on 3D objects

Abstract

This paper presents a general method for transformations of an object between 2D and 3D which can be used efficiently in computer‐aided garment design. A uniform triangular spring–mass‐based deformable model is employed. Both 2D‐to‐3D and 3D‐to‐2D transformations can be implemented in the same model. An efficient collision detection method is also discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A survey on CAD methods in 3D garment design

“…Usually the 2D-to-3D transformation is treated as an elastic deformation process with large displacement but small stretch deformation. In [36], a physical based deformable model is proposed for 2D-to-3D sewing and fitting. In this model, the cloth patterns are modeled by a triangular mesh composed of mass nodes and massless edges: edges works as springs.…”

“…Lagrange mechanism is used in [36] to drive the sewing and fitting process. Each node position is determined by the motion of equations:…”

“…The collision reaction forces penalize cloth patterns from penetrating into the body or other cloth patterns. The forward Euler method is used in [36] to numerically solve the Lagrange equation of motion.…”

“…Recent advances in geometric methods can make realistic fine details in almost real time [26,39]. During the last decade, the methods using the principles of mechanics have attracted much interest and a diversity of physical models are proposed, e.g., the mass-spring models [79,36], the particle models [13,14,31] and the elasticity-based models [4,33,93]. A classic work in this class is presented by Baraff and Witkin [9] in which a computational framework for cloth simulation based on an implicit integration method with a large time step is proposed.…”

Modeling Wrinkles on Smooth Surfaces for Footwear Design

“…Gravitational and even inertial forces can be incorporated into such models. An older survey of such modeling techniques can be found in [1], with more recent research being reported in [2,3,4,5]. A general shape deformation operator tool that could also be used to define wrinkles was discussed in [6].…”
