Abstract

Techniques for three-dimensional garment simulation are presented herein. An access module can be configured to access a three-dimensional garment model of a garment. The garment model can include garment points that represent a surface of the garment. Additionally, a three-dimensional body model can be generated based on body measurements, body scanning, or garment information. A processor can be configured by a garment module to position at least a portion of the generated three-dimensional body model inside the garment points, and calculate one or more simulated forces acting on a subset of the garment points. Moreover, a rendering module can be configured to generate an image of the three-dimensional garment model draped on the three-dimensional body model based on the calculated one or more simulated forces. Furthermore, a display module can be configured to present the generated image on a display of a device.
