Abstract
This paper proposes to use expert systems and the technique of 3D modeling to realize intelligent design of 3D garments. The advantages of this new approach, compared with conventional ones, are discussed. The new approach includes several steps: First, set up the 3D garment prototype by using the method developed in this paper. Next study the relationship between the parameters of the 3D garment prototype and different garment styles. Based on the relationship, the algorithms and production rules for transferring style requirements to the parameter values of the garment prototype are developed. As such, the knowledge base can be constructed, and the intelligent design system of the 3D garment style is built. Using the system, various 3D garment styles can be designed automatically to satisfy various style requirements.
