Abstract

This paper presents a computer system for garment designers to realistically augment photographs of a person with virtual garment designs. We show that the accumulation of existing garment modelling and computer graphics techniques can be used to produce realistic images of clothes in the context of a real scene. Effects of natural light interactions and fabric properties are taken into consideration. The system consists of a 3D scanner a garment CAD extension, a garment simulation interface and a natural global illumination system. We describe how the components of the system are integrated and discuss a collaboration with a fashion designer who worked with the system.
