All kinds of knowledge applied here are abstracted from fashion design, where a complicate object is divided into several simple parts according to the body parts. And then a mathematical model of the display for real fashion illustration is elucidated.展开更多

文摘A computer-aided design system, which is base on the knowledge of draping and frame-producer methods, is put forward. All kinds of knowledge applied here are abstracted from fashion design, where a complicate object is divided into several simple parts according to the body parts. And then a mathematical model of the display for real fashion illustration is elucidated.
