ESPRIT 6534 3D-Fashion, “Distributed and Cooperative 3D Fashion and Modelling Design System”. (1993-1994)
The objective of the 3D-FASHION project is to develop a common database through which clothing designers and engineers can cooperate in designing garments in 3D and in preparing patterns for cutting.
The approach was to:
– develop distributed cooperative capability for virtual mannequin dressing with virtual garments, based on new geometrical and physical models for garment surfaces and mannequins, and including true-colour image synthesis of dressed mannequins
– integrate this design system with existing 2D tools for garment design and engineering through a common database
– identify and specify broadband services to support communication between geographically dispersed fashion and modelling studios and clothing plants.
A pilot demonstrator was envisaged in which several separate teams cooperated in the design, engineering and manufacture of a garment dressed on a virtual mannequin.
