  Fabricating and designing 3D garments has become extremely demanding with the
increasing need for synthesizing realistic dressed persons for a variety of
applications, e.g. 3D virtual try-on, digitalization of 2D clothes into 3D
apparel, and cloth animation. It thus necessitates a simple and straightforward
pipeline to obtain high-quality texture from simple input, such as 2D reference
images. Since traditional warping-based texture generation methods require a
significant number of control points to be manually selected for each type of
garment, which can be a time-consuming and tedious process. We propose a novel
method, called Cloth2Tex, which eliminates the human burden in this process.
Cloth2Tex is a self-supervised method that generates texture maps with
reasonable layout and structural consistency. Another key feature of Cloth2Tex
is that it can be used to support high-fidelity texture inpainting. This is
done by combining Cloth2Tex with a prevailing latent diffusion model. We
evaluate our approach both qualitatively and quantitatively and demonstrate
that Cloth2Tex can generate high-quality texture maps and achieve the best
visual effects in comparison to other methods. Project page:
