Abstract

This paper presents customer participating 3D garment design methods for mass personalization. Complex fashion design is separated into garment surface modeling, pattern designing and texture mapping. Based on the modularization of the garment, we propose a component option sheet to describe the Garment surface Style (GS). Customers can choose components flexibly to construct a basic GS fast. Individual GS can be further modeled by editing the contour curves. Thus, we encode contour curves to save GS information and construct a GS library. The user can drag a favorite GS onto a 3D mannequin model and recover it by decoding the contour curves as a prototype for individual surface design. The users can also draw or drag style curves freely on a 3D triangular garment surface to design individual 3D pattern styles. Total or partial style curves encoding/decoding methods are proposed to store the 3D Pattern Style (PS), and to form a library. Customers can also choose a favorite PS and decode them on another garment surface as a prototype for individual pattern design. Through flexible choices from the garment component library, GS library, PS library, and simply dragging or drawing of contour curves and style curves, customers can easily and conveniently participate in 3D garment design for mass personalization.
