LO-05: 3D Computer Graphics

For this LO, I decided to look at the fashion website Dress-X which features digital clothing and is founded by Daria Shapovalova and Natalia Modenova. All the clothes are generated through 3D computer graphics instead of being physically manufactured so you will have to send them a photo of yourself, which will be sent back to you with the clothes photoshopped onto it. Some of the brands featured on the website do not use 3D digital design methods, so Dress-X has to create digital graphics for them. Since designers spend a lot of time creating intricate details on their physical clothes, the 3D artists have to also be careful in how they capture those physical properties and translate them into a digital space. They focus on creating 3D models that could also work in reality, keeping track of function and form. However, what I find the most interesting about this service is that you can try on the clothes using the Dress-X app, where AR is used to morph the clothes to your body as you move around. I supposed the app heavily relies on AI to identify the body and morph the clothes around it. Dress-X aims to reduce waste that comes from physical clothing production, such as the carbon footprint of manufacturing and increasing textile waste.
