“Digital Clothing: A New Paradighm for Fashion” by Martin and Ko

The study of physically based reproduction of clothing has made striking improvements over the past decade. Digitally simulated versions of clothes, generated with a single personal computer, now look more real than most people would expect for computer-generated animations. In the past, clothing simulation remained in the realm of movie and game production. Now, thanks to additional fashion-specific developments, the technology is on the verge of leading a revolutionary change in the fashion industry.

This talk summarizes the current state of the art of digital clothing technology: a collection of modeling, animation, and rendering systems targeted to fashion and animation production. The Studio features hands-on-experience classes associated with this presentation: the short class Creation of Your Own Digital Fashion Show (two sessions) and the long class Advanced Creation of Your Own Digital Fashion Show (one session).
