With all the face filters out there I wondered why there weren’t any whole body filters yet that would allow people to form their bodies into whatever shape they want. Guess we won’t have to wait much longer.

This is a quite interesting area because it sits between the more traditional (pure 3d mesh based) models [1] (which are wonderful for 3d contours and precision, but typically don't handle textures, lighting etc) and modern GANs which "simply" deform images (i.e. deep fakes, style transfer).

The challenge is that the deformation is not straight-forward at all! That's why it truly helps (as this paper shows) to use some 3d knowledge in aiding the deformation.

But yes, I'd love to see the code for this. Shame it's not available.

[1] i.e. something like STAR from MPI: https://star.is.tue.mpg.de/

Are there any clothing retailers currently utilizing this?

It’s fairly standard practice to do this sort of thing in Photoshop, but there are also enough models out there with various body types that you don’t need to go crazy.

That said I’m sure they’d love to automate the process, though in an age where plus sized models are everywhere it probably wouldn’t be used as much as it would have 10 years ago.

I don’t do (much) commercial work so I usually just get asked to slim down the mother of the bride/groom.
