Collections of 3D models are becoming increasingly prominent, with sites such as Google Warehouse and Turbo Squid offering hundreds of thousands of models to the public. While these collections can help accelerate the pipeline of building a 3D game or a virtual world, the collections can be daunting to use with available tools. Our goal is to make the task of 3D modelling using these publicly available collections easier for everyone. The main challenges are to efficiently search the collections for relevant 3D models and to enable the use of these models or their parts for modelling tasks with little manual manipulation.

Predictive rendering is becoming a powerful tool in many areas (architecture, car design etc.), but for some applications, the current fidelity is not high enough yet. The goal of our project is to develop techniques to provide fashion designers with photorealistic renderings of possible cloth designs made out of existing materials.
