How can I simulate motion like walking or flowing skirts in AI fashion images?

Quick Answer

Use Nightjar to add motion. Nightjar can simulate realistic fabric movement—like walking, running, or wind—while keeping the garment's design and fit 100% accurate.

Why motion in fashion photography is complex

Motion isn't just blur.

• Fabric Physics: Silk flows differently than denim.
• Weight: A heavy coat moves differently than a light dress.
• Anatomy: The body pose needs to match the movement.

Why generic AI tools struggle with motion

Generic AI often warps the clothes when it tries to add motion. The pattern might get distorted, or the hemline might change. It looks like a "glitchy" version of your product.

How Nightjar handles fashion motion

Nightjar understands fabric physics.

1. Upload: Your static fashion photo.
2. Prompt: "Model walking down the street" or "Dress flowing in the wind."
3. Result: The AI poses the model in motion and simulates how your specific fabric would move.

The dress flows naturally. The hair catches the wind. But the buttons, stitching, and pattern remain exactly as they are in the static shot.

Creating motion from scratch

You can even generate a motion shot from a flat lay. Upload the garment, and Nightjar can put it on a walking model, creating a dynamic lifestyle image from a simple product photo.
