Abstract

The fabric digitization is the way to input a material to the 3D software as data. in the virtual environment, the high reality of the simulated garment result is a main priority. sampling wastes time and resources. The collaborative effort in this project concludes the means of bringing the fabric properties of a clothing item. The technique is an experiment to mimic the way clothing is draped on the human body.

Six fabrics were collected from the Egyptian market randomly, from different material and weights, they are categorized in 2 structures groups. The under-study fabrics were tested by the FAST system, and their own fabric drape coefficient were measured traditionally. For the research procedures, the fabrics were digitized to CLO3D software through its standard procedures.

This study was established virtually using flared skirt as fabric samples. The flared skirt sample was assembled through angle flared skirt assembled method in two angles 180 and 90 degree, with 54cm and 67 cm of length. In CLO3D software the virtual assembled flared skirts were captured and rendered in three different poses (front, side and bottom view). All skirts that were caught had the same simulation and render attributes. As a holding item for the fabric sample in the shape of the flared skirt, a virtual dummy was employed. Finally, the study concluded that the flared skirt can be used to a common method can be used to assess and to digitize the textile fabrics to 3d garment simulation software.
