Abstract

The article discusses the process of intellectualizing the computer-aided design of stage and art costumes by introducing the author's methodology for parametric modeling of clothing parts of complex shapes - on the example of sleeves in products made of different materials. The necessity of transition from traditional image sketches to technical drawings in theater production is substantiated. Five basic algorithms for modeling the armhole-sleeve assembly are identified and the parametric characteristics that affect the external shape and functionality of the sleeve are systematized. The structure of the information description of the parametric modeling process with options for intellectual support of the designer-automated system dialog is proposed. The advantage of the proposed method of virtual design is the formalization of the creative stage of the designer's work and the reduction of the material-intensive stage of fitting product models. The proposed algorithm integrates parameterization, digital mannequin construction, stage image modeling, automated grading and pattern output, and technical preparation for sewing within a unified design workflow. Recommended sleeve parameters are differentiated according to the properties of suit fabrics, dense knitwear, natural and artificial fur, and materials used in 3D printing. The results provide a methodological basis for further software implementation of the algorithm and for expanding the parameter database to other types of garments.
