ABSTRACT
Knitwear rendering presents a significant challenge because of the many detailed characteristics of knitwear, such as the microstructure of yarn fibers, variations in stitch patterns, and shape irregularities. In our SIGGRAPH 2001 paper, we address this rendering problem by introducing a modeling primitive called the lumislice, which represents a yarn cross-section. By propagating a lumislice over a knitwear skeleton and adding soft shadow effects, we are able to synthesize realistic images of knitwear over various levels of detail while capitalizing on transparency-blending hardware. The results of our technique are exhibited in this video and compared with real footage. Copyright held by creator.

Realistic Rendering and Animation of Knitwear
We present a framework for knitwear modeling and rendering that accounts for characteristics that are particular to knitted fabrics. We first describe a model for animation that considers knitwear features and their effects on knitwear shape and ...
Photorealistic rendering of knitwear using the lumislice
SIGGRAPH '01: Proceedings of the 28th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniquesWe present a method for efficient synthesis of photorealistic free-form knitwear. Our approach is motivated by the observation that a single cross-section of yarn can serve as the basic primitive for modeling entire articles of knitwear. This primitive, ...
