1. A method to simulate appearance of textiles in computer-generated imagery, the method comprising:
obtaining an input pattern of a textile, the input pattern comprising a two-dimensional representation of a weave pattern of the textile;
determining ply curve geometry based on ply-level fiber details making up individual plys;
generating an image simulating a three-dimensional appearance of the textile based on the two-dimensional representation of the weave pattern and the ply curve geometry; and
wherein the determining the ply curve geometry comprises determining individual center lines of individual curves by taking a tension of the individual curves into account and computing a rest state of the individual curves.
