“…By smoothly modifying the entire garment surface our method is able to preserve the source design (Figure 3, top). To preserve the design Meng et al [2012] introduce an interactive transfer system where users correct a skinning generated garment by manually tracing the desired garment outlines in a number of views. Instead, we aim for a fully automatic design-preserving solution.…”

“…Applying a similar process to virtual garments can be especially challenging since the characters to be dressed often have non-standard body proportions for which no rule-tables exist. While skinning-type garment transfer techniques [Cordier et al 2003;Wang et al 2005] adjust the garment to fit the target character's proportions reasonably well, they often fail to preserve the original design, requiring manual editing to recover it [Meng et al 2012].…”

We present a fully automatic method for design-preserving transfer of garments between characters with different body shapes. For real-life garments, such transfer is performed through a knowledge intensive and time consuming process, known as pattern grading. Our first contribution is to reformulate the criteria used in professional pattern-grading as a set of geometric requirements, respectively expressing shape or design preservation, proportionality, and fit. We then propose a fully automatic garment transfer algorithm which satisfies all of these criteria while ensuring the physical plausibility of the result. Specifically, we formulate garment transfer as a constrained optimization problem and solve it efficiently through iterative quadratic minimization. As demonstrated by our results, our method is able to automatically generate design-preserving versions of existing garments for target characters whose proportions and body shape significantly differ from those of the source. The method correctly handles the transfer of multiple layers of garment. Lastly, when source 2D patterns are available, we output graded patterns suitable for manufacturing the transferred garments. Our fully automatic design-preserving transfer method leads to significant time savings for both computer artists and fashion designers.

The research was set out to explore the effective integration of Digital Prototype in the product development process of the TCF industry, investigating the level of implementation of new digital technologies and especially 3D visualisation and virtualisation of a garment product comparing the enthusiasm, vision, scepticism, evangelism and restrained optimism between technology providers-vendors, entrepreneurs-independents, professional & experienced users and academicsresearchers of clothing/fashion courses. A combination of primary and secondary sources was used. First hand interviews to investigate the level of technology implementation in the early adopters, the vision of the big corporations, entrepreneurs and professional users as well as the involvement of academics. Analysis of the collected primary and secondary data showed that on the one hand the traditional process of sample making has not changed but on the other hand fashion companies although using it, are facing many problems: time spent in developing and approving samples, lack of standardization of software solutions, and willingness to adopt new technology are some of them. It has been found that there has been a lack of research in the new dimensioned digital prototype of clothing at the product development level in a qualitative manner and from a perspective not so engineered-focused. Technology is revolutionary and overturning traditional processes. Therefore, the analysis of the effective integration of Digital Prototype in the product development process of the TCF industry is a key original factor of this paper.

Design, Development and Production have largely relied on the same, often manual, methods despite all the technological advances happening in the world outside of fashion and apparel. Ten years ago, academic research (by contrast to the existing 3D virtual software solutions) posited about clothing companies complaints' on the lack of effective garment-oriented CAD packages to design directly in 3D and provide the model list with tools for shape modelling and cloth behaviour simulation. Although, common place in other sectors, 3D virtual prototyping in the apparel industry has been slow and complex. A qualitative research investigating the level of the technology implementation in the early adopters, the vision of the big corporations, entrepreneurs and professional users for the global clothing and fashion industry as well as the challenges, opportunities and barriers that need to be overcome in order for digital prototype to accelerate business processes on an integrated basis.
