Body shapes collection

This dataset is a subset of a collection of statistically derived body shapes developed by the Institute of Biomechanics (www.ibv .org) for the InKreate project (https://www.inkreate.eu/). The purpose of the collection is to offer a set of ready-to-use realistic body shapes that could be used for design development. Given the purpose of the collection, statistically available body shapes had to be grouped into a finite number of categories using parameters familiar to designers. The original collection of body models consists of 32 female bodies and 24 male bodies. Combined with four poses, the final collection consists of 224 realistic avatars. The released subset includes 8 females and 6 males. This subset can serve to show design students how the shape of the body varies realistically according to its size and shape
