AI slop article.

Ive been taking courses on CLO 3D for digital fashion design, and this article was a nice crash-course on the available technologies for 3D body scanning. Recently, I wanted to turn my hand-drawn jeans pattern into a 3D one to troubleshoot fit, and I found the CLO avatar editor surprisingly capable of generating a body type like my own with just a few measurements. It extrapolated a lot from a little, and I'd been wondering how. Good stuff! Another comment accuses the original post of being AI slop, and I can't prove or disprove that. But, the author (whether human or LLM) did at least cite sources, open-source their tool, and teach me a few things either way.
