“…The virtual human body based on 3D anthropometry has conventionally been created by two methods: (1) the direct avatar, using 3D body scan form and (2) the manual avatar, using the body measurement. Many studies have been conducted on direct and manual virtual avatars in respect of garment fit [15][16][17].…”

Virtual simulations have become a part of design and marketing from personal use to professional designs and provide virtual realism to a great extent. With rapidly developing technology, nowadays it has attracted much more attentions especially in textile processes. The 3D virtual garment simulation provides the textile producers and fashion designers with benefits in terms of product development, customization of garments and speed to market. While most of the software focuses just on visual design, some major software manufacturers (Lectra, Optitex, Gerber, etc.) try to develop programs to accurately simulate fabric behavior as well as visual modeling. When the literature studies are examined, it is seen that the simulations in which the fabric mechanical and physical properties are defined, provide virtual realism to a large extent. But this is just regarding to the ergonomic comfort of the garment and virtually no garment simulations exist for the realistic prediction of thermal comfort. The estimation of clothing thermal comfort is very helpful for designing garments, especially sports and works garments where thermal comfort plays an crucial role for the status of the wearer. To make a method to realistic solution to virtualize the thermal comfort of clothing: virtual body properties, garment design, clothing drapability, thermal characteristics of fabric and the thermoregulation of the human body according to different conditions should be considered all together.

“…Unfortunately, Optitex and other fi tting software do not allow the user to assign a pose to a raw-data, body-scan avatar; instead, the user must use separate software, such as DAZ Studio, to add animation to the avatar [7,8,9].…”

The youth of today are much more technologically adept than previous generations. This has led to many technological innovations, and the development of these innovations has in turn altered our perception of the world. The film, gaming, and clothing industries have been forced to embrace new technology to satisfy the demand of people for a more realistic virtual experience. These industries all rely on the use of 3D avatars to create virtual depictions of the human body. In the gaming and film industry, the accuracy of the avatar is not so critical. The avatars used in computer games and CGI sections of films have soft contours, which look visually appealing, but are not necessarily accurate to the human form. By contrast, the apparel industry needs to focus on creating very accurate avatars, which represent each person's body shape for virtual fitting to achieve realistic, well-fitted garments. This article describes the methods used to build an avatar and compares the draping between the following scenarios: the real avatar with a real garment, the real avatar with a virtual garment, and finally the virtual avatar with a virtual garment. This research will help to understand how the body shape can affect the virtual fit.

“…Through adoption of technology, both small and large retailers could increase sizing accuracy and increase consumers trust thereby increasing profits. Research suggests that consumers express readiness to use avatars to try on clothing when the body size of the avatar appears to be close to their own size (Lin, Johnson, & Kang, 2018;Lin & Mammel, 2011). The use of personal avatars will appeal to consumers who want to promote healthy activity, clothing selection, and as an entertainment activity.…”
