Production talk: curve-based garment authoring workflow

Contributions

• Demonstrates an expanded, standardized curve-based fabric authoring workflow with simplified artistic controls
• Handles complex woven patterning and varied fiber thicknesses, from fine threads to thick yarns
• Supports common finishing techniques such as hems and stitches, used for the costumes in Strange World

Context

Continues Disney's curve-based cloth and fiber authoring practice, building on the Encanto embroidery and cloth fiber workflows (Velasquez 2022).Builds on: Embroidery and Cloth Fiber Workflows on Disney's Encanto

Correctness

Studio practice, not peer-reviewed; results are production-proven on Strange World, where the handmade-costume look was a deliberate creative goal, so transferability to other pipelines is not the claim.

Clarity

Accessible and practitioner-oriented; a single read conveys the workflow intent, with detail living in the demonstrated tooling.

How to read it

Read for the artist-facing controls and how weave patterns and finishing are authored from curves; one pass suffices unless you are replicating the fiber-authoring approach.
