Research into parametric curved surfaces
Digital tools in fashion are an innovative area of research to explore new possibilities in constructing garments, use digital visualisation to speed up the creative process and reduce the usage of materials in the development of new products.
Digital simulation of clothing can be used to evaluate the fit, to prototype garments with less fabric waste and allowing for quicker creative iterations.
A key component of such digital tools is being able to represent complex fabric shapes in three dimensions and render such high-res curved surfaces. This project explored generative algorithms to parametrically create and animate 3d surfaces.

A key component of digital tools for fashion is being able to represent complex fabric shapes in three dimensions and render such high-res curved surfaces as is shown here.
This is an intermediary step in the development of full physical fabric simulation. Work on a full implementation for fabric and clothing simulation in the hyperobject toolkit is in progress.
