Really glad it helped! Thanks!
I do believe that thanks to Anny and Sam3D it will get better, cheaper and more accessible than in tools like CLO3D. Extrapolating body from a few inputs is going to be my next one so hope you will like it too.

AI slop article.

Actually not this time. Wrote it by myself, but I'm not native speaker and engineer not writer so then used for review and reframing couple sentences.

Ive been taking courses on CLO 3D for digital fashion design, and this article was a nice crash-course on the available technologies for 3D body scanning.
Recently, I wanted to turn my hand-drawn jeans pattern into a 3D one to troubleshoot fit, and I found the CLO avatar editor surprisingly capable of generating a body type like my own with just a few measurements. It extrapolated a lot from a little, and I'd been wondering how. Good stuff!
Another comment accuses the original post of being AI slop, and I can't prove or disprove that. But, the author (whether human or LLM) did at least cite sources, open-source their tool, and teach me a few things either way.
