Virtual Simulation Design of Mazu Clothing Based on Digital Technology

Virtual simulation design revolutionizes the way clothing is created and developed, offering designers greater flexibility, efficiency, and creativity in bringing their ideas to life. This study delves into the virtual simulation design of Mazu clothing, a traditional Chinese fashion style, utilizing digital design tools such as Corel Draw, clothing CAD, and CLO 3D. The research aims to preserve cultural heritage by meticulously examining the design aspects of Mazu attire, including style, structure, color, and material. Through literature review and analysis, the fundamental characteristics of Mazu culture and attire are elucidated. The study employs CorelDraw X4 for sketching Mazu attire’s style structure, and rich peace clothing CAD software for pattern drawing, based on standard female body size data. The pieces are decomposed according to the attire’s structural composition to finalize the pattern design. CLO 3D software is utilized for 3D virtual stitching and simulation design, simulating the clothing production process with commendable accuracy. The study demonstrates that dynamic and static virtual displays of Mazu attire can be swiftly achieved, laying the groundwork for digital design and application of traditional attire. Overall, this research provides a detailed and systematic approach for creating virtual versions of Mazu clothing, confirming the accuracy and practicality of the virtual design method while offering insights for future research on digital simulation and virtual display of traditional attire.
