Splendid. You can deftly adorn a mannequin with googly eyes and other paraphernalia. It supports your own jpegs and has a large environment to soak in. See also: wearvr.com/apps/wrens-quality-kicks

Fantastic! This is a slick, well executed experience. The controls for manipulating the mannequins are intuitive and fun, and it's really easy to bring in custom images and see how they look on hats, mugs, etc. Room scale really shines here since you're able to walk around your subject and pose them as easily as in the real world. Pictures taken in VR are automatically put into a folder for quick access. This is something I'd show people who are new to the Vive as it's easy to get into, and an example of a useful application of VR.

Thread Studio is a VR business program. It worked on my system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok. Has a tutorial.

Try it, if you are a clothes designer or retailler.

Love this! The future of making stuff is here! XD

So far this works exactly as advertised. Super Easy and super fun. Really great Idea!!!!! Thank you for not forcing me to pay to save my photos or import my images...100% from me. Really well done.

Thread Studio is a VR app by Shopify.com , the online store. It's meant to be a way for you to create t-shirt designs. You can do so in VR, and save the design as a PDF file to your PC. You can also pose a mannequin wearing your design.

Now here's the thing: The actual "t-shirt design" part of the app is pretty threadbare - all you can do is import a decal and scale & position it, in a limited way. I guess it's a proof of concept for now, and the Shopify management decided not to invest more time into it.

But! The mannequin posing is amazing. It's a robust system that lets you control the pose in detail, moving all joints on all axes in a natural way, with the mannequin having responsive, chained IK so it always looks natural.

On top of that, there's a selection of props (like hats, glasses, and sports items) that you can affix to the mannequin. And there's a camera you can use to take photos that are saved as image files to your PC. Very neat.

Honestly, to me this is foremost a posing app. Sort of like Poser. You know, that software with the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ UI that you pirated as a teen in order to pose digital naked people. No? Just me?

I would love whoever VR enthusiast working at Shopify who made this, to continue development on it as a new VR app dedicated to posing various characters and allowing to set a scene and do photo sessions. Like a photo-centric version of Mindshow. Imagine a webcomic made like this, how easy it would be.
