This project aims at providing parametric digital human shape models for human-centered design in various fields (industrial design, fashion design, etc.). The parametric digital human models are visualized in the front-end and downloadable for users.
My work in this project includes enabling the adjustment of body postures. I first segment the vertices into different part and assign weight to the vertices using Python, and then implement an algorithm to calculate the coordinate of each vertex based on positions and rotations of each body part, which is defined by user inputs. Finally, I enabled the function of "pose library", which stores some pre-defined common body postures for certain applications (i.e. Sitting posture for Car Crash Simulations, T-Pose for Clothing, etc.) Users can modify their own posture based on that.
This project is supervised by Dr. Byoung-Keon (Daniel) Park.
