From 3D to 2D Imaging of the Surface of a Figure and Clothing

Abstract The article focuses on the principle of designing clothes based on obtained data and a method of measuring the surface of the human body using available technology in 2D and 3D applications and progressive methods and technologies. The first step in obtaining 3D data and the subsequent work in CATIA 3D program is achieved using MaNescan system. The procedure for creating what is known as a wrap of the human body in 3D is described in the article and the procedure for its unfolding is consequently explained. There is also an example of designing clothing layers on a body with the possibility for subsequent unfolding. The principles applied in this thesis can be used when unfolding any part of the human body and hence when defining and creating new model designs of clothing.
