Drape Evaluation of 3D Garment Simulations for Flared Skirts

Abstract

The virtual try-on technologies of the current level have limitations with material expression as well as somedifficulties with commercialization. There are differences in simulation results and subjective evaluations perceived byconsumers according to the types and physical characteristics of materials used in virtual try-on simulations. This studywere to analyze the exterior clothing shapes and visual images from 3D virtual try-on simulations with materials whosedrapability was differentiated and then test the accuracy of the expression of the drapability of the materials. The studycarried out 3D virtual try-on simulations by selecting flared skirts as an item to best express differences in drapabilityalong with five materials of different physical properties and offered some basic data for greater utilization of virtual tryonsimulations by comparing and analyzing them with the exterior shapes and visual images of actual flared skirts. Theanalysis results of hemline shapes between actual and virtual try-on according to the types of materials showed no matchamong the quantitative items of exterior shapes factors. There were no significant differences in the visual images exceptfor “soft” according to the simulation methods, which means that the items can serve as part of a scale for visual imagecomparison. It is necessary to reflect quantitative numbers regarding “drapability” proposed in the study simulation softwareand to continue to build a systematic database for virtual simulations by investigating and testing various materials.
