Embodiments provide a wearable article with channels for a performance capture system. In some embodiments, a wearable article includes one or more regions of the wearable article configured to be worn on at least a portion of a body of a user. In some embodiments, the wearable article also includes at least one of the one or more regions comprising at least one base layer and at least one secondary layer configured to form at least one connection passage between the at least one base layer and the at least one secondary layer. In some embodiments, the at least one connection passage is configured to provide access for flexible cable connections between at least one reference marker and one or more other reference markers or a control unit. In some embodiments, the at least one connection passage is configured to allow movement of a flexible cable within the connection passage in response to movement of the user.

An arrangement for obtaining body measurements of a person includes a garment configured to be form fitted to the person, a reference target, and a handheld digital camera. A surface of the garment includes a plurality of first fiducials which are photogrammetrically analyzable. The reference target includes a plurality of second fiducials that are photogrammetrically analyzable. The plurality of second fiducials on the reference target facilitate producing a 3D model true to scale and in a recognized orientation to a surface on which the person is standing. The handheld digital camera acquires a plurality of successive images of the garment and reference target as the digital camera is moved around the person. A computer processes the plurality images by methods of photogrammetry to produce a 3D model of the body. A portable stabilization device may be held by the person to reduce movement and control arm spacing during image acquisition.

A method of creating custom garments at scale comprising utilization of a multitude of numerical customer measurement inputs and non-numerical customer fit style inputs to generate finished garment measurements. A multitude of fit block and sized versions of the garment are mass-manufactured, and then a matching and selecting process is applied to select a fit block and sized version of the garment after comparison of the finished garment measurements with the fit block and size measurements. Variances between the measurements are used to guide matching to a particular fit block and size as well as to generate alteration outputs and instructions for tailoring the fit block and sized garment into a custom garment altered to the individual customer's measurements and inputs.
