News

[April, 2025] GarmentCode online configurator demo is temporarily unavailable. We are working on bringing it back onlin!

[Nov 20, 2024] GarmentCode configurator demo is now ONLINE 🥳 Check it out: https://garmentcode.ethz.ch/ (not for mobile)

[Sept 4, 2024] We release a new version of the dataset with a few fixes and updates: GarmentCodeData (v2). See documentation for new data version for more details.

[Aug 30, 2024] Major release -- implementation of GarmentCodeData in pygarment v2.0.0, new GUI, and other updates and improvements. Basic JSON representation classes are now part of PyGarment library! See CHANGELOG for more details

[July 1, 2024] GarmentCodeData is accepted to ECCV!

[May 29, 2024] First release of GarmentCodeData dataset!

[Oct 18, 2023] First release of GarmentCode!

Library

PyGarment is the core library described in the GarmentCode paper. It contains the base types (Edge, Panel, Component, Interface, etc.), as well as edge factory and various helpers and operators that help you design sewing patterns.

See Installation instructions before use.

Examples

• assets/garment_programs/ contains the code of garment components designed using PyGarment.
• assets/design_params/, assets/bodies/ contain examples of design and body measurements presets. They can be used in both GarmentCode GUI and test_garmentcode.py script.

NOTE: assets/design_params/default.yaml is the setup used by GUI on load. Changing this file results in changes in the GUI initial state =)

Change Log

[2.0.2] - 2025-04-18

Fixed

• UVs are now preserving the aspect ratio of the garment panels
• When fabric_grain_texture_path is null or unspecified, the second texture is not generated
• @phucph11's fix of UV connected components evaluation: deriving component indices of vertices from face ids

[2.0.1] - 2024-09-12

Fixed

• Allow disabling frame timeout in simulation through setting None (null in .yaml) as max_frame_time config value. This fixes #15.
• Fix erroneous duplication of frame timeout value for all frames. Timeout is only prolonged for the first frame -- initialization requires more time compared to the following frames. Sim property files are updated to reproduce earlier behavior with erroneous timeout duplication

[2.0.0] - 2024-08-30

Major update with release of GarmentCodeData, new GUI, and a number of other improvements and library changes. For technical details, see our papers.

Added

• [Mesh generation] GarmentCode library can now generate box meshes for the sewing patterns.
• [Simulation] We integrated our version of NVIDIA warp to support simulation of GarmentCode sewing patterns. It can be run from command line and from GUI.
• [Desing Sampling] We support random sampling of sewing pattern designs from the designs spaces. Sampling can be controlled though setting probabilities of sampling default values.
• [Generating synthetic 3D data] Combining the new capabilities allows for creating diverse synthetic datasets of 3D garments. We provide high-level scripts to create such datasets from the GarmentCode-provided garment programs.
• [Labeling] We added support for assigning labels to pattern elements (edges and panels) in both GarmentCode objects and JSON serialized pattern representation. These are currently utilized to guide the cloth simulation process, but can be assigned to enrich the data labeling.
• [Stitch orientation] GarmentCode now allows explicit specification of whether a stitch should be connecting the right side of the fabric on one side to the right side of the fabric on the other or right side to wrong side. It gives explicit control to developer on resolving the stitching direction. Most stitches require the default (right-to-right) setting, hence only a few need explicit update of this parameter. Internally, the right-to-right direction is found following the manifold property of connecting two panels with specified normal direction indicating the right side of the fabric.

Changed

• [Architecture] We updated the structure of pygarment library. It now includes new mesh generation and cloth simulation routines, as well as the pattern serialization modules (pattern library) and the Maya + Qualoth routines for backward compatibility. This greatly simplifies the installation process and reduces module import issues.
• [GUI] We re-wrote our GUI from PySimpleGUI to NiceGUI following the change in PySimpleGUI licensing scheme and desire for better UI look. GarmentCode GUI now runs in browser. Dependency on PySimpleGUI is removed.
• [Interface matching] In addition to stitch orientation labels above, we removed extra heuristics involved in the matching of the edges in two interfaces connected by a stitch. We found that these heuristics behaved unintuitively in some cases, and it was difficult to determine the correct way to fix erroneous matched. The process is now fully controlled by the developer, making it more intuitive. As before, the default matching process should work in most cases, and only a few complex stitches require intervention.

Fixed

• [Sewing patterns quality] We have made numerous improvements to the quality of sewing patterns produced by our garment programs. They now showcase better fit, balance and 3D alignment
• [Design space] We have updated the quality of the parameter interaction in our garment programs introducing better parameter ranges, parameter dependencies, interaction between design and body shape parameters, etc. Design space now has fewer invalid parameter combinations making the exploration of parameter space more reliable.
• [Other] numerous small bugs where discovered and fixed.
