Tang Dynasty Hanfu - Digital Garment Simulation & Cinematic Lighting Study (Marvelous/ 3ds Max)

Digital reconstruction of a Tang Dynasty garment inspired by historical reference material.

This project focused on layered garment construction, fabric weight calibration, and silhouette preservation within Marvelous Designer. Special attention was given to achieving natural drape behavior and structural balance across multiple fabric layers.

Texturing was developed using a PBR workflow, followed by shader refinement and lighting exploration in 3ds Max. In addition to neutral presentation renders, a stylized lighting setup was created to emphasize color harmony and evoke a festive atmosphere inspired by traditional lantern aesthetics.

Key Focus Areas:
• Layered garment simulation
• Fabric behavior refinement
• PBR material development
• Cinematic lighting variation
• Final rendering & presentation
