GarmentPainter: Efficient 3D Garment Texture Synthesis with Character-Guided Diffusion Model

Automated generation of production-ready 3D garment assets from a single image is a central challenge in digital content creation. While recent generative models have significantly advanced 3D geometry reconstruction, synthesizing high-quality textures remains a bottleneck. Existing methods often bake environmental illumination and shadows directly into the texture map, or they fail to maintain global structural coherence, making the resulting assets unusable for physical simulation and relighting. In this work, we introduce OmniFabric, a novel approach that synthesizes globally coherent texture maps directly within the 2D sewing pattern space. Given a single reference image, our pipeline utilizes an estimated 3D mesh and generative priors of powerful Vision-Language Models (VLM) to establish a complete but coarse texture initialization across the unwrapped sewing patterns. We then leverage a specialized diffusion transformer, trained via an automated synthetic data engine and conditioned on 3D positional features, to refine this initialization directly in the canonical UV domain. This effectively removes distortion and baked-in artifacts to extract a clean and normalized texture map that preserves the original garment design. Extensive experiments demonstrate that OmniFabric significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, yielding photorealistic 3D garments with high-quality textures.

AI-generated content (AIGC) has made significant progress, with 2D generative models becoming ready-to-use tools for the digital fashion industry. However, 3D garment generation remains in its nascent stage, where in the realm of fashion, the semantic information of diverse design elements exhibits intricate coupling relationships in 3D representations, posing substantial challenges for generating diverse 3D garments. In this work, to handle the above problem, We introduce Fashion-3DLR, a novel 3D garment generation framework that utilizes diverse design elements to create high-quality, versatile 3D garment assets. Specifically, to bridge the semantic gaps between different fashion elements, we propose a Garment Feature Fusion Diffusion Transformer (GFF-DiT) module to integrate 2D fashion design elements, e.g., sketch and texture, into latent space. Within the latent space, we then employ a rectified flow transformer to generate geometry latents, which can be decoded into various 3D garment representations, including 3D Gaussians and meshes. Furthermore, we integrate Fashion-3DLR into downstream tasks, achieving the 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS)-driven cloth physical simulation and mesh-based virtual try-on. Experimental results indicate that Fashion-3DLR surpass the previous state-of-the-art methods, which verify that the proposed work can generate well-structured, non-watertight garments capable of physical simulation and virtual try-on, underscoring its potential as a versatile 3D garment design tool.

Realistic and efficient 3D garment generation remains a longstanding challenge in computer vision and digital fashion. Existing methods typically rely on large vision- language models to produce serialized representations of 2D sewing patterns, which are then transformed into simulation-ready 3D meshes using garment modeling framework such as GarmentCode. Although these approaches yield high-quality results, they often suffer from slow inference times, ranging from 30 seconds to a minute. In this work, we introduce SwiftTailor, a novel two-stage framework that unifies sewing-pattern reasoning and geometry-based mesh synthesis through a compact geometry image representation. SwiftTailor comprises two lightweight modules: PatternMaker, an efficient vision-language model that predicts sewing patterns from diverse input modalities, and GarmentSewer, an efficient dense prediction transformer that converts these patterns into a novel Garment Geometry Image, encoding the 3D surface of all garment panels in a unified UV space. The final 3D mesh is reconstructed through an efficient inverse mapping process that incorporates remeshing and dynamic stitching algorithms to directly assemble the garment, thereby amortizing the cost of physical simulation. Extensive experiments on the Multimodal GarmentCodeData demonstrate that SwiftTailor achieves state-of-the-art accuracy and visual fidelity while significantly reducing inference time. This work offers a scalable, interpretable, and high-performance solution for next-generation 3D garment generation.
