The software is designed as a laboratory [5] in constant evolution and includes both consolidated algorithms as the 3D morphing and experimental technologies, as the fuzzy mathematics used to handle the relations between human parameters, the non-linear interpolation [6] used to define the age, mass and tone, the auto-modelling engine based on body proportions and the expert system used to ...
