A study of replication of Qing Dynasty dragon robes based on CLO3D technology

Abstract

So far, the research on Chinese historical costumes has stayed on the discussion of culture, shape, pattern and social background. There is a big gap in the research on the reproduction of historical costumes. In this paper the clothing characteristics of Qing Dynasty dragon robe pattern, craftsmanship, shape and structure are analyzed by referring the literature, with the purpose of realizing the digital virtual display of ancient traditional clothing, and it carries out a comparative analysis of clothing CAD pattern, 3D virtual fitting and replication of samples, which put forward the detailed problems and solutions in the traditional dragon robe virtual simulation process. The research shows that the three-dimensional virtual simulation model can accurately restore the fabric, pattern, color and structure of the dragon robe of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, this paper provides a reliable patterns and simulation modeling method for the research about the dragon robe, which offer an innovative research method for inheritance of traditional Chinese clothing.
