I appreciate that your offering diverse skin tone gradient, but the first four skin tones are way too similarly pale at the moment. It’s not a gradient yet, it’s 4 light and 2 dark. Looks like a super useful product. congrats

Gotya, we'll check that. The selections are some time pretty random, since we have a large model pool.

I spent significant time working on a virtual dressing room system using 3D avatars created from user photos, and clothing designs from fashion design firms, their brands and manufacturers. With a 3D game developer and film VFX background, I got an MBA to help with my pursuit of the idea. However, once in full time business development with a working system, I found the secrecy and competitive suspicion within the Fa…

I'm definitely aware the kind of thing you're talking. We're lucky that with our solution, we deal more with retailers than designer brands. So far it's been not that bad for us.

Curious what's the name of company you are at?

Congrats on launching. Very interesting to see as someone who's into the intersection of fashion/design x tech.

This is based more on availability from brand than retailer but would make a huge difference in conversion: Images with more isometric/perspective views of clothed models convey more information (replacing need for up to 3 separate pictures [front+side+back] and/or rotation in many cases), thus more valuable to the consumer. However, this is less of an issue with standardized "flat" items and related categories like athleisure (t-shirts, sweatshirts, joggers, etc).

Good move with the skin shade feature - visualizing how an outfit contrasts/complements one's complexion is as important as fit. Needs some fine tuning though; there's some mismatch between models and listed shades.

Per people wanting to see models of similar build, try a regional or brand base approach: Generate a list of model types to use based on researching a) most common body types for each sex in a given geography (extra layer of detailing would be sub-categorization to account for differences in physiology across various ethnicities where applicable) or b) most common body types for each sex in a given brand's clientele or across multiple brands in given fashion category.

I created and ran a startup called the 3D Avatar Store between '08 and '15. All that's left online is twitter: https://twitter.com/3DAvatarStore/media . Since that time, been working in FR. But am looking for something new atm.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Apologies for the late reply. I downloaded Style Space yesterday after you mentioned here, and the main problem really just was not being able to import my own photos. A consumer play might be super interesting here; let users import their own photos, make their own outfits, share it with their friends, and add referral/affiliate links on the way to checkout. I work on consumer tech, so email's in my profile if you w…

Frankly, I think it's just very hard to get the kind of effect you're imagining. https://www.formatech.com I know this company that does what you want, but I don't think their rendering is close to what you're imagining. We recognize it's difficulty, so want to start with a more constrained case, maybe will eventually get there :)

Ah yea, I didn't mean importing yourself as a model. Just a digital wardrobe of sorts with the model being a default like you have in Style Space.
