Abstract

The appearance of cloth is the result of complex light interactions within the structures present in textile materials, particularly challenging due to their multi-scale nature. In addition to the inherent complexity of cloth rendering, there is a lack of connection between computer graphics techniques and manufacturing processes followed in industry. We discuss existing techniques and pose questions about which are the right paths to follow for a better synergy between CG and textile research, including (but not restricted to): defining a standard set of properties required to predict the appearance of cloth to be manufactured; developing both acquisition techniques reliable and suitable for industrial processes and other frameworks more focused on inexpensive capturing (e.g. based on single pictures, Pantone labels); finding material representations that are robust in absence of several low-level parameters; creating a standard for color depth depending on the dye type and dying technique; developing a standard to account for post-process steps (washing, chemical treatments, etc) on the mechanical and optical properties of the textiles.
