Abstract

A method comprises steps of: providing body-outlining parameters; editing the body-outlining parameters; creating a body with the edited body-outlining parameters on a window for the digital clothing; and visualizing the created body on the window for the digital clothing. The step of providing the body-outlining parameters may comprise steps of providing: a stature; a crotch height; a head length; an arm length; a bust girth; a waist girth; a head girth; a upper arm girth; a lower arm girth; a knee girth; and a lower leg girth. The step of editing the body-outlining parameters may comprise steps of editing: providing a number for setting a parameter value; and sliding a visual bar on the window for the digital clothing.

Claims

1. A method for measuring a body in a digital clothing, the method comprising steps of:

providing body-outlining parameters;

editing the body-outlining parameters;

creating a body with the edited body-outlining parameters on a window for the digital clothing; and

visualizing the created body on the window for the digital clothing.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of providing the body-outlining parameters comprise steps of providing:

a lower leg girth.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of editing the body-outlining parameters comprises steps of editing:

providing a number for setting a parameter value; and

sliding a visual bar on the window for the digital clothing.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of creating a body comprises a step of describing the body with triangular surface mesh.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the step of creating a body further comprises a step of incorporating a skeleton and a rigging.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the step of creating a body further comprises a step of incorporating a plurality of body landmarks.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the plurality of body landmarks comprises body landmarks in head and neck of the body for;
