Preserving cultural heritage through virtual simulation design of traditional clothing styles: a study of Mazu clothing

Abstract

This study focuses on the virtual simulation design of Mazu clothing, a traditional Chinese style of clothing, using a combination of general design software, clothing CAD software, and clothing 3D design software. The study begins with an introduction to the development and shape of Mazu clothing and analyzes the design elements such as style, structure, color, and material of the clothing. Typical styles of Mazu clothing are then selected, and graphic designs for these styles are created using Corel Draw. The study then moves on to the virtual simulation design process, where the size and specifications of Mazu clothing are set based on the 160/84A standard female body data. Richpeace clothing CAD software is used to draw the pattern of Mazu clothing, completing the pattern design process. Finally, the plate file is imported into CLO 3D software to complete the 3D virtual stitching and simulation design of Mazu clothing. The study finds that the standard error and error probability after design were both below 5%, demonstrating the accuracy of the virtual simulation design method. The research plan presented in this study provides a fast and efficient way to achieve three-dimensional virtual simulation of Mazu clothing, which lays a foundation for the digital design and application of Mazu clothing. Overall, this study provides valuable insights and practical guidance for those interested in virtual simulation design for traditional clothing styles.
