3D visualization tool for digital costume design

Digital costume is clothing for performer which consists of lighting devices and clothing materials. It can provide stronger visual effects than traditional performer costume. Because the digital costume is hard to modify after built, design of the digital costume is one of the most important procedures. This paper proposes Digital costume visualizer, which visualizes digital costume in 3D virtual space. The visualizer creates virtual digital costume based on the costume model and luminous pattern which created by a user. To create a visual appearance which similar to the real digital costume we applied Bloom effect to the luminous patterns. By applying several control values to the Bloom effect, the visualizer can provide various visual effects. As a result, the visualizer provides enough functionalities and effects for design process of the digital costume.
