· Parametric modeling and fabric behavior analysis
· Digital draping, sewing logic, and rendering pipelines
· Transitioning from AI sketch to simulation-ready pattern
Learning Output:
A complete 3D digital garment prototype with visual renderings, technical files, and AI-originated design documentation.
Module 3 (Weeks 9–12) — From 18 May to 13 June 2026 - Online
AI-Powered Fashion Imagery and Animation
Theme: Visual Storytelling and Motion in AI-Enhanced Design
Participants explore how AI expands the visual communication of fashion through advanced imaging, animation, and storytelling tools. The module focuses on integrating AI-driven visuals, 3D assets, and cinematographic direction to create immersive fashion imagery.
Key Topics:
· AI-powered photo rendering and lighting simulation
· Dynamic presentation through Krea.ai and Unreal Engine
· AI-driven walk cycles, cloth movement, and animated lookbooks
· Converting image sequences into cinematic short films
Learning Output:
A short animated fashion film or AI-enhanced visual campaign, combining generative imagery, digital garments, and creative direction.
Module 4 (Weeks 13–14) — From 15 June to 27 June 2026 - Online
From 3D Garment to Production-Ready Output
Theme: From Virtual Simulation to Technical Documentation
This module focuses on the transformation of 3D garments into real-world production outputs. Participants learn to extract, clean, and refine digital patterns, producing factory-ready documentation and technical packs.
Key Topics:
· Pattern extraction and flattening from 3D models
· Technical drawing, annotations, and grading
· Digital documentation and file export formats (DXF, AI, AAMA)
· AI-assisted quality control and precision adjustments
Learning Output:
A comprehensive production-ready technical package, including pattern files, spec sheets, and rendering documentation.
