Class Lab of Virtual Environments for Fashion I

The curricular unit aims to provide students with skills applied to fashion product visualisation in virtual environments, by mastering the production processes present in this type of project: working methodologies, project organisation, and the method capable of designing 3D garments based on digital 2D patterns with efficiency and precision, thus complementing the creation of 2D content for application in a 3D environment.

Not applicable

1. Introduction to fashion virtual environments: Theoretical and practical notions for fashion product presentation 2. Integration of 2D contents in virtual environments: techniques and processes of integration in 3D vector objects software 3. Introduction and Fundamentals of 3D software 4. Introduction to 2D digital pattern-making development with 3D software: Creating base patterns, transforming patterns, Dressing garments in avatar 5. Development of 3D virtual clothing applied to fashion design and production: Definition/characterization of the virtual avatar, measurements of avatar and garments, virtual fabrics (creating textures and applying patterns), virtual trims (zipper, buttons, thread color, etc.) 6. Project development: Fashion product presentation, author clothing in 3D/virtual environments

This theoretical-practical curricular unit combines expositive interventions of the programmatic contents with the elaboration of exercises in creating software and virtual environments. Two practical projects will be developed throughout the semester, with respective follow-ups and presentations in class.
