Weaving the future of fashion design through AI
Style3D has been deeply involved in the textile and clothing industry. Based on its structural data accumulation and industry demand mining, it has created generative AI model and combined AI and 3D in various links of the industrial chain to truly empower fashion research and development, giving digital clothing more controllable, strongly editable, and producible advantages:
- Self-developed Style3D Generative AI Model: With underlying processing capabilities covering clothing, fabrics, models, home textiles, etc., it achieves fine-grained, high-precision, and high-quality industry understanding.
- Self-developed Style3D physics-based simulation engine: Bridging the data domain gap between 2D and 3D, it generates clothing with controllability, editability, high fidelity, consistency, and other features.
- Self-developed Style3D AI Deploy architecture: Supporting distributed, containerized, clustered, elastic computing, and efficient management of computing resources for better engineering landing of industrial models.
The improvement of efficiency must be overall digitalization. All iterations of Style3D products are co-created with industry partners. They have constructed an end-to-end (E2E) full-link digitalization solution of AI+3D, providing a full-link toolchain from design conceptualization, sample making, collection display, and marketing promotion to mass production.
Style3D iCreate & iWish: Catalyzing creativity with AI
Style3D launched the iCreate & iWish modules, which assist designers in the collection planning stage of clothing, using AIGC deep learning capabilities. Through text-to-design, design-to-design, sketch-to-design, fusion creation, AI partial editing, AI try-on, and other functions, designers can quickly create, restore, and modify design ideas, accelerating the burst of design inspiration.
This AI-powered product module’s ability to offer area-specific modifications and respond to multiple prompt types is a testament to its versatility. Designers can modify specific areas of a garment and change colors or textures with ease, allowing for rapid prototyping and customization. This level of control and precision ensures that the final product is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also tailored to meet the specific needs and preferences of the target market.
R&D excellence: Advancing cloth simulation on GPUs
Style3D’s commitment to research and development is exemplified by their recently unveiled breakthrough on introducing: “Automatic Digital Garment Initialization from Sewing Patterns“ at SIGGRAPH 2024 in Denver, Colorado.
With the rapid advancement of digital fashion and generative AI technologies, there is a growing need for an automated method to convert digital sewing patterns into well-fitting garments on mannequins. One of the key challenges in this process is how to arrange the initial configuration of the sewing pieces to prevent folding and overlapping. In this endeavor, Style3D addresses this issue by employing AI classification, heuristic methods, and numerical optimization, ultimately developing an innovative automatic garment initialization system.
This research system has already been partially integrated into Style3D products and is expected to be further enhanced to reduce the workload of technical designers in creating digital garments.
Computational performance is a cornerstone in the evolution of digital fashion. Every fundamental element of digital fashion – be it reliability, fidelity, or efficiency – is deeply rooted in the efficiency of computation. Since the founding of Style3D Research, they have been fervently engaged in crafting next-generation simulation algorithms.
Style3D Research has introduced a new simulation method of a GPU-based Multilevel Additive Schwarz Preconditioner for Cloth and Deformable Body Simulation, a critical advancement for the industry.
In this paper, they wish to push the limit of real-time cloth and deformable body simulation to a higher level with 50K to 500K vertices, based on the development of a novel GPU-based multi-level additive Schwarz (MAS) pre-conditioner. Similar to other preconditioners under the MAS framework, the preconditioner naturally adopts multilevel and domain decomposition concepts. But contrary to previous works, they advocate the use of small, non-overlapping domains that can well explore the parallel computing power on a GPU.
The research’s integration into Style3D’s Physics-based simulation engine is particularly exciting. It promises to enhance the overall user experience by offering faster simulation speeds, which can significantly improve the workflow for designers and animators. The ability to execute these simulations efficiently on GPUs also means that this technology can be more widely adopted, potentially becoming a new industry standard for cloth simulation.
Style3D’s achievements in AI innovation and R&D reflect its role as a trailblazer in the digital fashion industry. By integrating cutting-edge AI technology into their value chain, launching intuitive design platforms, and pushing the envelope in R&D, the company is setting new industry trends.
