Abstract
In one embodiment, a garment includes a garment substrate and a pattern formed on the substrate that emulates the contours of an ideally proportioned body so as to give observers the impression of the ideal proportions.
Claims12
A method for providing anatomy shading on a garment, the method comprising:
- generating a brightness gradient that emulates contours of an ideally proportioned part of a body;
- and
- forming a pattern on a garment based upon the brightness gradient that gives observers an impression of the ideal proportioned part of the body,
- wherein generating the brightness gradient comprises:
- generating a three-dimensional brightness gradient, and wherein
- generating the three-dimensional brightness gradient comprises generating a three-dimensional avatar having the ideal proportioned part of the body, and
- wherein generating the three-dimensional brightness gradient further comprises illuminating the three-dimensional avatar to form shadows on the avatar that highlight its contours.

A method for providing anatomy shading on a garment, the method comprising:
- generating a brightness gradient that emulates contours of a part of a body;
- and
- forming a pattern on a garment based upon the brightness gradient that gives observers an impression of the part of the body,
- wherein generating the brightness gradient comprises:
- generating a three-dimensional brightness gradient, and wherein
- generating the three-dimensional brightness gradient comprises generating a three-dimensional avatar having the proportions of the part of the body, and
- wherein generating the three-dimensional brightness gradient further comprises illuminating the three-dimensional avatar to form shadows on the avatar that highlight its contours.
4 more elements
A method for providing anatomy shading on a garment, the method comprising:
- generating, using a three-dimensional avatar having first proportions and contours associated with a first body shape, a brightness gradient that emulates at least a portion of the first proportions and contours;
- and
- forming a pattern on a garment based upon the gradient that gives observers an impression of the first body shape.
