Traditional Clothing Digitalization Technology: A Case Study of Three-dimensional Digital Restoration of the Leather Coat in Northern Wei Dynasty

With the development of artificial intelligence, big data and other information technologies, digital technologies have been widely applied. China has seen further enhanced ethnic co-hesiveness and core social competitiveness recently, as well as gradually deepened cultural interactions and communications with other countries. Digitalizing traditional clothing and accessories benefits the protection and inheritance of traditional ethnic culture, consolidation of their status, reshaping of national image and enhancement of ethnic and cultural identifi-cation. On this basis, this paper presents a case study of leather coat of the Northern Wei dynasty, a collection of the Xilin Gol League Museum, Inner Mongolia, where three-dimensional digital software was used to complete processes like clothing piece drawing, cutting, pattern development and grain effect production. After that, the Style 3D software was applied to fulfill a virtual try-on presentation, further enhancing the inheritance and protection of traditional clothing and accessories.
