This research investigates how textural information can be transferred between digital and tangible mediums, focusing on how different scales of fabrication, wear, and interaction impact our understanding and perception of textiles. By combining digital material capturing and procedural texturing, the study creates dynamic, re-scaled fabric transformations that bridge the physical and digital realms, offering new methods for engaging with textiles and exploring the continuous transformation of their materiality.
