Running simulation of GarmentCode patterns in Autodesk Maya + Qualoth

GarmentCode serializes sewing patterns in a JSON format that extends the file format introduced in our previous project Garment-Pattern-Generator. We modified the corresponding tools for Autodesk Maya & Qualoth to support the GUI designed for an pipeline.

Installing dependecies

NOTE: Obtaning the code for Garment-Pattern-Generator is not needed.

1. Install Maya and Qualoth

2. Install pygarment into Maya python environment following the Installation instructions for python packages for Maya. This will look something like this:

   mayapy -m pip install pygarment
   

   NOTE: since Maya UI won't use warp simulator and use Qualoth simulation instead, installing warp is not necessary

Running GarmentViewer

GarmentCode supports the garment_viewer -- GUI script for Maya that loads and simulated sewing patterns from JSON.

To use it, simply run Autodesk Maya and copy the contents of ./gui/maya_garmentviewer.py to the Python scripting console.

For more info on the GUI, check our precious project docs: Garment Viewer

Material properties

Material properties for garment simulation (in Garment Viewer) that were used for the figures in the GarmentCode paper are located in assets/Sim_props
