Practical Extension of Tensegric-Modeling-Based Soft Tissue Deformation

Abstract

Soft tissue deformation based on tensegric modeling is extended. This modeling is developed to apply for human females to reform/alter their body shape using tailor-made undergarments. A tensegric model is generated based on body data scanned from real female humans and covers around the bust and hips of the body. It simulates a physically-based deformation of the body shape based on pseudo forces. Variations of the undergarments are represented by different types of constraining lines, which behaves like rubber-bands. When an excessive constraint is imposed to the real body shapes, vibrations of deforming calculation are not negligible small comparing to that of a mannequin shape. Here, it is suppressed by controlling pseudo forces to perform stable calculation. Finally, the deformation result is correlated with a scanned body shape wearing an undergarment. © 2007 by CAD Solutions.
