Digital Fashion in 2 Mins | The Power of Garment Auto Rigging
By: Style3D Updated on: 6 June. 2024
Garment auto rigging is like giving your character's clothes a skeleton. It's a magic that lets the fabric move with the character, ensuring that when your character runs or dances, their outfit behaves just as you expect in real life.
Traditionally, rigging was a painstaking process. Without garment auto rigging, animators would have to manually adjust bone weights of each vertex, which is not only time-consuming but also challenging.
Besides, existing rigging tools are not developed for garments. They do not consider the physics models of fabric and collision response. As a result, the rigged garments may have issues with distortion or penetration.
But with garment auto rigging, it's a different story.
At the heart of our Auto Rigging feature is a physics inspired machine learning approach. We use our powerful physics engine to capture how garments should move and drape in any pose.
Then the data is used to train our auto rigging model. During the training process, we integrate physics constraints into our loss function, which is very different from existing tools. Finally, our auto rigging model can produce results that rival those of manual rigging. What once took weeks can now be done in a matter of hours.
