AR Lens
Wedding Dress
Cloth Simulation Try-On Lens
Unlike a regular garment fitting, finding dresses that I liked from a room full of dresses that are tightly hung on racks, bringing all the bulky dresses that I selected to the fitting room, and actually trying them on -- something that I needed to get physical help with -- every step took a very long time.
Using a full-body try-on lens, finding one's favorite dress is much easier. This is useful for both online shopping and in person try ons.
Idea Sketch
I picked 2 styles from here and developed the assets in Blender.
At this phase, I drew the details as well and at the next stage, I simplified them.
Lens Creation in Lens Studio
My initial goal was to separate the top and bottom dress and let the user choose them separately with button clicks.
However, that resulted in too many buttons on the screen and all the buttons did not function well. So I changed it to tapping the screen to switch out to an entirely different dress.
Assets Creation in Blender
First, I transformed the imported body mesh from Lens Studio's asset library into a female body. I wanted the dress top to fit the body tightly, so I copied and pasted the body mesh and scaled it up just a tiny bit. Then I transformed it into the torso.
I created 2 patterns for the torso and 2 different skirt shapes.
