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,

wherein the step of creating a body further comprises a step of incorporating a skeleton and a rigging,

wherein the step of creating a body further comprises a step of incorporating a plurality of body landmarks,

wherein the plurality of body landmarks comprises body landmarks in head and neck of the body for a vertex, a glabella, a sellion, an occiput, an inion, a tragion, a menton, an inferior thyroid, a lateral neck, a anterior neck, and a cervicale,

wherein the plurality of body landmarks comprises body landmarks in shoulder body for a midshoulder, a mesosternal, a suprasternal, an acromion, a lateral shoulder, a posterior axilla, an anterior axilla, an axilla, a posterior midaxilla, an anterior midaxilla, and an axillary level at midspine,

wherein he plurality of body landmarks comprises body landmarks in torso of the body for a nipple, an interior breast, a tenth rib, a midspine tenth rib, a lateral waist, an anterior waist, a posterior waist, a projection of nipple on waist line, a later waist omphalion, an anterior waist omphalion, and a posterior waist omphalion,

wherein the plurality of body landmarks comprises body landmarks in a hip of the body for an iliocristale, an anterior superior iliac spine, an anterior high hip, a posterior high hip, a lateral high hip, a buttock protrusion, an anterior hip, a posterior hip, a lateral hip, a crouch, a gluteal fold, and an abdominal protrusion,

wherein the plurality of body landmarks comprises body landmarks in legs of the body for, a tibiale, a superior patella, a midpatella, an inferior patella, a midthigh, a posterior juncture of calf and thigh, a calf protrusion, an inferior leg, a medial malleolus, a lateral. malleolus, an anterior knee sitting, a posterior juncture of calf and thigh sitting, a metatarsophalangeal I, a metatarsophalanqeal V, an acropodion, and a ptenrnio,

wherein the plurality of body landmarks comprises body landmarks in arms of the body for a deltoid point, biceps, a point radiale, a center olecranon, a rear olecranon, a bottom olecranon, a lateral humeral epicondyle, a radial styloid, a ulnar styloid, a metacarpale V, a motacarpale II, and a dactylion III,

wherein the step of creating a body further comprises steps of;

controlling visibility of the body landmarks;

editing name and location of at least one of the body landmarks;

creating a new body landmark by setting a name and placing the new body landmark at a desired location of the body; and

deleting an existing body landmark.

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

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

providing a number for setting a parameter value.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising a step of measuring the body to obtain a plurality of body measurements.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the body measurements comprise:

a plurality of lengths measured between two body landmarks; and

a plurality of girths.

6. The method of 5, wherein the body measurements comprise body measurements for:

stature;
