3d body scanner compatible with clo
Hi guys, could you please recommend some great 3d body scanner for made to mesure garment production compatible with CLO?

There is no 'one' body scanner that is plug and play with CLO3D. What you need to understand is that a body scanner is a image/mesh/3D capture device that creates a 3D model output. And there are many market scanners that can do this task. You then need to import that 3D avatar mesh model and associate (interpolate) the current standard CLO3D avatars to that incoming mesh model. That task needs to be done every-time you want to create a new customer scan. So independent of any scanner hardware you need to factor in the process (which can take some time ) as you also need to cross reference check the incoming scan is calibrated across a handful of datum dimensions (eg: the all important human check).
So in terms of 'compatible' any device (including photogrammetry that does not require a scanner but a camera and turntable) can gather the image data to create a 3D model mesh. So a more important issue to think through is the 'cost' for processing the human scan into the 3D model and then the CLO3D cost to process that into a bespoke fitted avatar. So the choice of scan device needs to also factor in the processing costs as these can vary, as can the accuracy off the client body shape. And although you might use an extremely accurate scan hardware with high scan tolerance you must also factor in the CLO3D interpolation algorithms accuracy in translating that data to the CLO3D base avatar rig. This means you need to ensure the process does not reduce quality. Therefore an optimum hardware / process strategy that can deliver accuracy is not based only on the hardware but also the software processing to avatar rigs. It's not as easy as plug and play ...
My suggestion is compare approaches > scan capture based on : cost, time, processing speed and final accuracy. There will be a level at which more costly scan hardware does not give you any advantage over other competing technologies. And it is this 'value' line you need to establish,as many of the technical factors that drive scan hardware quality might not actually give you any significant process advantage. eg: optimum hardware configuration to processing within CLO3D. Don't look at the hardware as mutually exclusive and in isolation ensure you factor in the entire process pipeline, time frames, skills, and costs.
>> See my post article here where I used a hand held mobile phone to create a mm perfect client avatar confirmed with hand made tape measures. No scanner needed ... using free software. Takes about 10 minutes to take the images for the scan and another 15 min to process the 3D model ready to send to CLO3D. >> Post Link
