But then all they could do with them, it seemed, was just make a rendering of the clothes. I could see all these creative people making cool garments in Clo3D and similar programs. Simulating different types of cloth / fabric in real time in a convincing way is definitely at the hardcore end of algorithm design and optimisation. It produces professional industry quality results whilst solving some very difficult maths and programming problems. It’s even possible to design garments in the 3D preview view, and then convert back to 2D patterns, for printing and making the clothes for real.Īs a programmer, Clo3D impressed me a lot. Clo3D effectively simulates the folds and drapes of the cloth in real-time, meaning designers can see how their creations will look and move around on the wearer, before ever needing to cut and stitch a single piece of real material. But, it’s real power lies in then giving preview of how those clothes will look in 3D, as worn by an avatar. On the one hand, it lets designers sketch out the traditional 2D patterns (templates) used to make and manufacture clothes.
Soon after the workshop started, I was introduced to a program called Clo3D, which allows fashion designers to create digital garments. Could technology provide a bridge between these worlds? How was technology changing and being used in this different, but highly creative industry? Here’s what I found. So when the chance came up to attend a Digital Fashion workshop in Prague at the start of the summer, I was intrigued. It often makes games look monochrome and unimaginative by comparison.īut the fashion world is also distant and disconnected from games. A place full of lurid colours and fantastical designs springing off the pages of glossy magazines and posters. Coming from a video games background, the world of fashion appears otherworldly.
