Research on the Flattening Method of an Energy-Based Fabric Deformation Model in Garment Design

Surface flattening plays an important role in the whole process of garment design. We proposed a novel method by using three-dimensional triangle mesh this study. First, is flattened to two-dimensional plane approximate original surface. The initial results are then used as preliminary guesses for subsequent optimizations. Considering that deformation energy real woven fabric related tensile or shear deformation, simplified model based on update distribution determine best pattern. An innovative unified axis system obtain energy, and relaxation local release distortion flattening. Finally, experimental show complex surfaces such garments could achieve better results. Compared with other energy-based methods design, our more flexible practical.
