Fit Avatars
3D Apparel simulation systems are enabling companies to create, validate, communicate, and produce faster, more efficiently, and more sustainably by reducing the number and costs of samples and physical fittings.
3D Virtual fitting avatars have become an essential tool to ensure consistency between digital and physical processes; from design and product development to production and quality assurance processes.
Using the correct avatar for your applications is essential in building sustainable and repeatable digital workflows.
Figure Forms’ 3D Fit Avatars are the digital representation of our physical fit mannequins and match them accurately in measurements and body shape. This provides the critical link between digital and physical processes.
We also develop CUSTOM Fit Avatars to customers sizing and body measurement standards, allowing them to adapt even faster to changing fashion trends and enhancing their market shares.
Our avatars are designed for optimal virtual design, fitting and visualization and come complete with anatomical features and key measurement lines to enhance digital product development.
Figure Forms partners and collaborates with many of the leading 3D garment simulation systems to bring compatible avatar solutions to our customers.
We offer two TYPES of avatars:
STANDARD AVATARS
- Based on existing physical mannequin models
- Does not apply to Proprietary or Brand Specific models.
- Enhanced with 2 full arms with shaped hands and feet (no separate digits), and head.
- Can be supplied as either a Static version or a Rigged version
CUSTOM AVATARS
- Developed to a customer’s specific sizing / measurement requirements
- Developed with 2 full arms with shaped hands and feet (no separate digits), and head.
- Can be supplied as either a Static version or a Rigged version
STATIC or RIGGED?
Within each TYPE, we can offer 2 variants depending on a customer’s preferences or 3D software being used:
STATIC AVATARS
- One Pose only (normally Arms Down)
- This is best to match the physical mannequin so the arm position, shoulder slope and armhole shape are identical to the physical mannequin.
RIGGED AVATARS
- Developed in an A Pose, includes a skeleton (armature)
- Optimized to allow for A Pose and Arms Down pose.
- Rigged Avatars supplied for Browzwear, Optitex, and Style3D format will include 2 standard poses: A Pose and Arms Down/Attention Pose.
- Rigged Avatars supplied in Assyst Vidya (.vdy) format will only import with A Pose. The user may then be able to define and save their own additional poses within Vidya Avatar studio.
- More extreme poses may result in unrealistic mesh deformation in certain areas.
All avatars are normally supplied textured with a standard colour and key measurement reference lines. Custom Avatars may be developed to include customer branding and/or artwork, but this must be defined from the outset before the avatars are finalised.
Static or Rigged Avatars
Static avatars are created in one pose to control for very precise body shape, posture and measurements.
Rigged Avatars include an armature for posing. 3 Standard poses available:
(A Pose, Arms Down and Elbow bent).
Depending on the 3D system in use, users may also define and save their own poses and even apply animations.
