• Abstract: To make 3D human avatars widely available, we must be able to generate a variety of 3D virtual humans with varied identities and shapes in arbitrary poses. This task is challenging due to the diversity of clothed body shapes, their complex articulations, and the resulting rich, yet stochastic geometric detail in clothing. Hence, current methods to represent 3D people do not provide a full generative model of people in clothing. In this paper, we propose a novel method that learns to generate detailed 3D shapes of people in a variety of garments with corresponding skinning weights. Specifically, we devise a multi-subject forward skinning module that is learned from only a few posed, un-rigged scans per subject. To capture the stochastic nature of high-frequency details in garments, we leverage an adversarial loss formulation that encourages the model to capture the underlying statistics. We provide empirical evidence that this leads to realistic generation of local details such as wrinkles. We show that our model is able to generate natural human avatars wearing diverse and detailed clothing. Furthermore, we show that our method can be used on the task of fitting human models to raw scans, outperforming the previous state-of-the-art.

  We propose Design2Cloth, a high fidelity 3D generative model trained on a real world dataset from more than 2000 subject scans. Under a series of both qualitative and quantitative experiments, we showcase that Design2Cloth outperforms current state-of-the-art cloth generative models by a large margin.

  We propose a new adversarial generative model of realistic 3D people from 2D images. Our method captures shape and deformation of the body and loose clothing by adopting a holistic 3D generator. We experimentally find that our method outperforms previous 3D- and articulation-aware methods in terms of geometry and appearance.

We demonstrate that SCARFs clothing with higher visual quality than existing methods, that the clothing deforms with changing body pose and body shape, and that clothing can be successfully transferred between avatars of different subjects.

  Currently it requires an artist to create 3D human avatars with realistic clothing that can move naturally. We show that a 3D representation can capture varied topology at high resolution and that can be learned from data. We train a neural network with a novel local clothing geometric feature to represent the shape of different outfits.

• Neural 3D Clothes Retargeting from a Single Image [91.5030622330039]
  We present a method of clothes; generating the potential poses and deformations of a given 3D clothing template model to fit onto a person in a single RGB image. The problem is fundamentally ill-posed as attaining the ground truth data is impossible, i.e. images of people wearing the different 3D clothing template model model at exact same pose. We propose a semi-supervised learning framework that validates the physical plausibility of 3D deformation by matching with the prescribed body-to-cloth contact points and clothing to fit onto the unlabeled silhouette.
