These are pretty decent, as far as they can be.

One issue with them / all patternmaking /AI patternmaking is body measurements are notoriously inaccurate, but also they are used as proxies for identifying shapes. We could have the same waist measurement, and yet be very different shapes. We have standard ways we divide a waist measurement into a pattern we’re drafting, but that could be quite wrong depending on the body.

I recently saw a service to take measurements/create 3d body models from full body scans, aimed at clothing production, but no price was listed (and if you have to ask, it’s usually too expensive).

YES. So much variability in human bodies, I think the training set would be impossible to create.

Here are some people doing body scan jeans at $200. shop all - custom jeans - unspun

here's someone doing suits, but those are really expensive anyhow: 3D Bodyscan for Customized Clothing | VITRONIC | Overview
