I Wore Digital Clothes For A Week

[@safiya]

HELLO FRIENDS!! i hope you guys enjoy our romp into digital fashion!! honestly, even though i started off thinking it was kind of dumb -- i ended up liking some of the looks we ended up with 👀 lol don't kill me. what do you guys think of our digital looks?? also, just to clarify -- these looks that we bought are *not* NFTs, and most of dressx's looks are not NFTs -- they seem to dipping their toes into that space, but for now it's mainly just photoshopping individual images! xoxo, saf

The lighting in the pictures isn't exactly right. I feel like they should ask for a panorama of the environment you're taking photos in: in order to get better lighting and reflections on the clothes.

Too few ping-pong balls for real-time, I'm betting. And, they're never going to get a true skin tight look at this level. It's always going to look like something stretched over a plastic mannequin. That ping-pong ball technology is desperately going to need an upgrade.

[@TesserId]

@@minipop1032 They are a long way away from matching lighting to the environment. I just watched how VFX experts do that over on the Corridor channel, and it's a labor intensive process involving multiple stages of captures. It's just not going to happen in the next decade.

As a 3D artist, I find it really interesting how many people didn’t see right through the outfits right away, since the photoshop jobs weren’t bad for the price paid, just….. not very good in terms of consistency and lighting.

[@Rose-jz6sx]

The thing with that is like, if you don't come into it knowing there's photoshop involved then it's just like there's something weird here but Idk what it is

[@k80_]

I think on social media people are wont to overlook shoddy/ unprofessional photoshop since everyone edits the photos they post. But yeah as a graphic designer i can totally tell especially with the lighting angles and shadows, and the different resolutions between the photos and the 3D render. The shadows and blending the edges of the render into the photo are just atrocious

[@finnethew]

@@Rose-jz6sx definitely! Of course that happens with many people. It’s just easier to spot specific reasons why it looks “off” when you’ve done similar things yourself. :)

[@finnethew]

@@k80_ oh yeah, I totally agree XD I wonder what sort of pipeline they have for all of this, professional editing is expensive and time consuming, I don’t know how these price points are lining up with a big company involved, either o.O

[@Dark_Red_Echo]

I think there’s a possibility that people who are online more consume so many edited images it just doesn’t occur to them to question things as much anymore-There’s a possibility they know that everything is retouched to some level or another, so they just assumed that it was a bad retouch job as opposed to an actual fake outfit. I think there’s also a culture of it being almost rude or mean to point out when someone you like is retouching their photos, which might keep people from saying something. I was pretty disturbed by some of the photoshop jobs though-it worries me that this company is contracting out the editing to some kind of digital sweatshop where an artist gets paid 2 cents an image or something. That’s the only reason I can think some of these would have been done in such a mediocre fashion. That would also match generally with how we know the tech industry treats creatives-They love to middleman between us and our customers so that they can make most of the money and deliver a suboptimal experience to people on both ends. (Edited for spelling error).

[@themagicknightress7132]

It’d be nice if normal brand websites had this VR feature to “try on” clothes before buying to see if a style would actually look good on you before buying. It could probably reduce shipping waste and the returns conundrum where returned items just sit in a warehouse somewhere (think Amazon…)

[@TheShauNanigans]

I really like this idea. Of course you will still run into the issue of the item simply not being made the way you thought in some instances, but likely far less often. I would really love some new pants, for instance, but at 4'11" buying pants in the actual store is just as much of a struggle as online.

[@nekoboy213]

I think my issue is that it’s paying for a picture when in the reality you don’t have that outfit or clothing piece, you don’t own it, which feels like we’re playing even more into what can you show off online to give the illusion you have more. Personally I like altering my clothes and learning how to adjust for weather or the occasion, it’s helped me cut down on buying new clothes, specifically fast fashion outlets. And I slowly learn a new fashion skill

[@vixxcelacea2778]

I'll just screen shot a pick of the item and do it myself. Free and would turn out better than what they did. This is ludicrous. I know Saf is super polite, but all of this was garbage for the price it demanded. A few bucks? Sure, pay 5 dollars to photoshop on for one picture (and badly for that matter) to wear an outfit that would likely not actually work on a human body or be wearable. But 35 dollars? I can go have a nice meal, or get a new jacket for that price. I'd get it if we lived mainly in VR wherein your avatar actually wears the outfit and you pay for the 3-D model and it's permenantly on your account or something, but this? This feels like the world went mad. I don't understand why people aren't calling it out for what it is, a scam. You get nothing you couldn't of done/gotten yourself.

[@izux_cori1307]

I agree with you, but to a certian extend. For fast fashion, modelling and high off brands like LV , this would be a great substitute for real clothes. Since these companies create millions of waste by only creating cheap clothing that is trending and then throwing it away once a new trend arrives. It's less wasteful and less exploitive. And let's be real here. Fashion is fueled by blood. Sweat shops, millions of underpaid, "workers" slaving away in a factory for fast fashion, only for their product which they made 0.20 cent from to be worn 2 times and then added to the waste and pollution the world is already facing.

[@Anuvia]

I'm a digital artist and I have to say; I hate this entire concept, lol. What it entails is that these companies hire someone to make a 3D Model of a dress or outfit that they cause edit in a 3D software such as Blender/etc and "form it" to you. They come in all sizes because they can easily be deformed in these programs. Once the dress is shaped to your photo, someone takes that crop and brings it into photoshop and they edit it on to the model in the photo, and from the looks of it, they're not very good at it. They don't even account for lighting/atmosphere or even add shadowing to make the fabric appear is if it's actually on your body; it's just a very basic rush job in Photoshop that you get to pay for. This is why actual digital artists exist; because we have the ability and knowledge to make a "photoshop job" have some layer of believability. While I respect the creativity in this Hussle, it's still pretty much a scam in my honest opinion. While yes, someone is taking the time to design and render these outfits, in the end it's for the sake of giving you a very lazy product that you could probably ask your teenage kids to do for you and get something equally as believable.

[@HikaruOfTheWind]

Totally. They make you feel like you're buying the flashy fashion, but what you're actually purchasing is a digitally altered photo of yourself, and that product appears to be rather sub-par.

[@Rubarbleh]

[@Anuvia]

@@Rubarbleh Nah, you misread me; I was saying most teenagers are probably better at photoshop than the companies she paid.

[@smoretwink555]

I love this concept for enabling designers to fully go wild with their creativity and make garments that needn't conform to the constraining laws of physics, and I can totally see this as something that would be amazing for influencers and photographers to use instead of wasting clothing. I also imagine for new designers who maybe don't have the money to bring their clothing to life irl, this could allow them to profit off their work anyway, which is rad. However, I don't really see how it's useful for the average person, since most people want to actually wear they things they buy multiple times, but there's nothing wrong with this being more a tool for artists/aspiring artists I guess.

[@pamelaguerra3768]

idk about the new designers thing, digital arts programs can be pretty expensive specially 3d ones. I agree with everything else though, it's a tool for artists as well as a good way for fashion influencers to get to show and try a lot of clothes without contributing to the giant mountains of clothing trash we've been having a problem with in the last decade or so

[@canned_can_chan4590]

[@strayiggytv]

I could envision a near future where they finally nail AR glasses and businesses pop up where you buy clothing that shows up in AR. Like you sell clothing with qr codes on it that link up to a digital clothing brand and you can digitally wear the clothes irl. It's hard to explain lol

[@albuszx]

This concept is cool for a digital spin on high fashion, all the guests watch the models with VRs and such. But even that can be considered problematic because haute couture is quiet prominently about breaking through the challenges and limitations imposed by the materials, that's why it's a form of Art.

man... on the one hand some of these outfits are honestly gorgeous and so cool, and i love the creative space that digital fashion affords designers because you can get REALLY wild with art in the digital space. on the other hand, it really is just online fashion - it's not real clothes you can wear to feel fun or sexy or pretty on a night out, or even put on just to wander around the house because it's your favorite dress and you like it. it's exclusively to show *other people* that you're wearing something, which gives me big second life/IMVU/gaia online/other virtual avatar vibes. a thousand dollars for pixels that someone photoshops on your body sounds crazy. still, i can see the appeal of having a photo of yourself in a REALLY avant-garde or reality-defying outfit. it's almost like being in an art exhibition, and i almost wonder if there's an idea there - sharing digital fashion to be worn by a bunch of people and turning the results into a collection of some sort. but the idea of "wearing" this as more than just a novelty just sounds completely unrealistic and pointless for non-influencers.

And at their pricing level, the only people who could possible afford this anyhow are people with so much excess that they don't know what to do with it.

I understand how it seems expensive from the outside POV, when you only get one photo for that money. But you also have to consider the cost of 3d software that was used to model, texture, pose and render that 3d garment PLUS photoshop. The amount of labour that goes into making one photo is sadly something that people who are outside 3d industry do not consider. YES its not best edit, and YES it is on a pricier side, but honestly paying 40$ for 2 - 4 hours of work is not that much.

[@AlexanderTome]

Seems like an idea that exceeds the capabilities of mass technology at this time. I’ve seen this pulled off really well in the fashion industry for quite a number of years, but it’s generally accomplished by extremely proficient photoshop artists, 3D modelers and skilled photographers that know how to photograph specifically for an edit. There’s definitely a workflow that starts before the camera even gets turned to the model for this to become the sublime imagery that this product wants to be. Edit: my conclusion is that we’re not in a place to be offering products like this except as an expensive boutique process, not the weird factory vibes that this is presenting.

[@zkw100]

Yes, it definitely feels done by a machine with very mild tweaks rather than even a half way adequate graphic designer. The neck and arms were often particularly bad. With some work and extra customisation, the avant garde pieces could look really good

[@J_Lynn]

Yeah. It's very obvious that the sample pictures of them photoshopped onto models had a lot of care put into them. They probably employ a decent amount of photoshop artists to do this stuff, and $35 dollars to edit a picture is honestly crap pay(that's like friends and family price), so you're not gonna get even close to the kind of quality they have on the sale page. That definitely shows in the price of the items, as well. the $1000 dress was obviously done by someone much more skilled, while the long longsleeve edit was something I could have pulled off in like 20 minutes. Because of that, I feel it's a bit of false advertising in the state it's currently in, since most of the people looking to buy this stuff are obviously not going to know what's really required(work load/price/posing/etc) to pull this off at such a high level.

[@AlexanderTome]

@@J_Lynn yeah, it’s a very bad rate, and that doesn’t even include the commission to the designer, who I presume gets a percentage, probably in the 20-30% range, I’m guessing, then the company takes their cut, THEN the retoucher gets paid. It’s possible they’re not even paying based on commission and could be outsourcing to a retouching house, which could be essentially an unregulated sweatshop depending on where it’s located.

[@dangsood4945]

I make little edits like this for my job, where I make mockups. I know how long this would take, and where corners were cut. This makes me think they have a full time design staff - no way else they would be able to charge this low. They likely have a 3d "person" template which they pose over the photo and then do some minor retouching. I bet the expensive one went to the lead designer.

But this is just so silly and ridiculous. The video is well done as they always are, but the subject is just something I cannot believe really exists. This shift where everything and everyone is doing more stuff online, in apps, or gaming is so odd to me. I’m the same age as Safiya and I get we were kind of the first group exposed to social media and many of these new approaches to life and existence, but this is just ridiculous. I don’t condone fast fashion, and working to save the environment is extremely important. But this just doesn’t seem to be the way to do it. It feels very Ready Player One to me and that is frankly terrifying.

This doesn't affect you or me really, and it is better for the environment compared to fast fashion options. Its a really creative idea and I think including an estimate of how much water, and power could be saved buy purchasing one versus online would be a good impact and condition people to make better environmental choices when purchasing clothing. There isn't a single way to save the environment, and if this is genuinely more beneficial, why not? I am getting elitist vibes from this comment tbh which is ironic considering the people who would probably purchase these.

[@jessirarara]

@@AkiraChan24 At this point this company isn't really encouraging it. It's already a thing. "Fast Fashion" has been a thing for decades now. People wearing something for a single "season" and then throwing it out because it is no longer "in style", no longer fashionable. I've personally never been in that crowd, I have clothes I've owned for 15 years, but it's a very real thing and causes a ton of waste. People have also been wearing things once or twice and then tossing it for years. Hell even that one can be said "for decades" to an extent. What is a wedding dress? An article of clothing meant to be worn once. Sure people usually keep them... but eventually that dress you wore a single time has to go somewhere? A thrift store? Most expensive wedding dresses are made to measurement and won't fit the average person going to a thrift shop and if you are buying a wedding dress at a thrift store chances are you aren't going to pay the high price of having a dress made of expensive fabric adjusted to be your size. Though sometimes these dress do go on to be bought by people who give it a second life as something other than a dress. Or if you're lucky and know someone who can adjust the dress for you that is family, buying a second hand wedding dress can be a very viable option. It's just not common that these dresses get bought. Prom dresses and highschool tuxedos land in this same area. Though at least these items are a little easier to find new homes for through second hand stores... but even then... most teenagers don't want to wear something used to their homecoming or prom. What about the amazing dresses and suits you see at red carpet events? How often do you see those items be worn again by those celebrities? What do you think happens to those? In a less "for the gram" kind of sense... there is also the tons of waste caused by people throwing out clothes because they don't know how to repair a damaged article of clothing or how to remove a deep stain. So they donate it.... and because it's damaged it gets tossed by the store... or they just throw it away themselves. Do I think digital fashion is dumb? Yes, absolutely.

As a designer myself, I felt personally insulted by this company. Unbelievable that people are really spending money with these shitty photoshopped photos. Also, the videos and catalogs photos are pretty different from the "real product", is even more false advertising than the Made in China e-commerce photos. (but awesome video Safiya)

You're basically paying for the photoshopping. If you add in the cost for the design itself, the 30 to 40 Dollar tier isn't even that expensive. I mean, you probably don't whip that up in an hour. That being said: yeah, for us 'normal' people it is indeed a lot of money for nothing.

[@nadyaali2295]

The only thing that absolutely doesn’t make any sense is the fact that you have to pay for every photo. When you buy an outfit you should have the choice to be edit at anytime in your outfit. They should have some type of membership for it if they want, so that their editors can get payed.

Nicely put. Couldn't agree more.

[@yokoboo]

Oof, as a graphic designer who has worked on photos of people and had to photoshop designs/clothes and repaint people's hair to make it all work well together... this hurts me. I'm tempted to take some screen grabs of the outfits and making edits to make them look better, but I already have enough on my plate that I probably wouldn't have the time. They have 3D clothes, they obviously put effort into rigging the clothes into a human model. It's not that hard to put things like hats onto a full rig (at least to the shoulders) so you can get the interior bend of the fur and the perspective on the dangly bits right. ALSO WHERE IS THE AMBIENT OCCLUSION??? You asked for overcast lighting in your pictures, but your clothes still need to adhere to ambient occlusion and alsdhalskjhdashjdkajsh honestly this whole app idea, if they're not putting real effort into making the clothes look real, then it sounds like a content factory for influencers. Like, the designer names that sound more like user handles, seems more like they're inviting artists/handing out invitation passes to make an account and giving them the tools and taking a cut of what they sell. I could be completely wrong, but it feels a bit skeevy to me. A good idea, but some of the practices/mistakes that seem innocent and small enough are raising a couple flags. Also if these designers are not 3D modelers/riggers themselves, then they have to pay someone to model, rig, and paint the design, which can account for the high cost of some of them. I'd really like to know how the pipeline works for DressX and the process the models of outfits and accessories and photos go through once an order is placed. I have a feeling that the designers are not the ones doing the photo work, and so each picture has a price, because each picture requires the same amount of work. And the quality is ultimately up to A) how well designed/rigged the outfit is and B) who the graphic designer is that is going to be editing the photo. Also, as far as photoshopping clothes on people, best practices are, imo when you take the photo, it's best to use a tripod and take a picture without the model so you have a clean version of the background for any discrepancies there. Even if it's a little off, being able to clone a background sampler makes the job easier.

[@skylarsa]

Wow you definitely know your stuff (: I agree with everything you said!

[@Stettafire]

As someone who has also done a tonne of photoshop, agreed, looks fake as hell.

[@pocketwatchtraveler1]

Yes I too felt the need to screengrab the pictures because they are dying for proper lighting, levelling and shadow. I honestly think the clothes on the body are modelled really well (apart from that hat) but colour grading that matches Saf’s environment would make a hell of a difference. It’d be even easier to achieve on the original file because the clothes themselves would be their own layer, it wouldn’t even be that hard to create a clipping mask around it to add these elements. I found this so frustrating! I knew it’d be triggering other photoshop users too lol

So I worked for 15 years on the other end of the production process from you, hair and makeup on set, and I 10 million percent agree with you about the preproduction to make this thing work. There’s a well developed workflow for projects like this, and it sounds like they give their customers the barest bits of that information, making the job of their retouchers harder and the end product worse. As advanced as our creative technologies have become, we’re still not at a place to be offering these kinds of services for these prices. I’d be very interested to find out what the payscale is for the artists completing the work and what their current and projected project quotas are. My guess is that it’s bad and expected to get worse as this becomes more popular.

You could make the sleeves by sewing loose ruffles into taffeta (I imagine purple-gold shift or similar would look best), so it would be something you could make and have a magicy colour changing effect to really emphasise the length of the sleeves, maybe get some jellyfish vibes.

Otherwise, you're just paying $40 for someone to photoshop a dress on you which you could learn to do for free with probably better results. The whole point of cool clothes is that they're cool because they defy your expectations for what fabric is supposed to do and how it's supposed to function.

i dont think this is the real intention tho. this looks to be targeted mainly at influences (and art fans) and if we can do anything to stop them from buying and throwing away so many clothes im a supporter. Also technically yes anyone can learn anything if they put the time and effort in but the reason we hire services and artisans is BECAUSE not everyone has the time or effort or desire to learn these skills. Also this isnt just photoshop, its 3d modelling, rigging, lighting, texturing, editing etc. another point is, a lot of these look more like art projects than meant to be anything practical. And sometimes art can just exist for the sake of being art. I get very frustatred when people shit on modern tech based art "not practical or sooo fake" because that's not the point of it? the point of it is to look cool and to push technology.
