Abstract:

3D body scanning, 3D body photography, and motion capture systems, along with Coveroid creation and ideation tools still have significant interoperability gaps and user interface shortfalls. As much as consumers want to trust virtual try-on platforms, and brands want a return on investment of 3d tools via industry key performance indicators like fit-related returns, the trade-offs brands made in repurposing creation tools from the gaming industry remain insufficient for designing Coveroids (virtual apparel or garments) to fit Humanoids (avatars) of consumers. Currently, mesh construction is a painstaking process, involving joint hierarchy definition, binding of mesh vertices to joint centers, and application of weights to each joint. Apparel landmarks are equally as challenging, with many landmarks located on soft tissues that slide over the underlying skeleton and bony references moved by the Coveroid and/or body movement. The most appropriate positions to associate with vertebrae and spinal sections (Cervicale, Thoracic, Lumbar, Sacral) for the rigged model are of discussion.
