Tips for Taking a Successful 3D Body Scan
Get the Most Accurate Measurements for Your Custom Jeans
If you want custom-fit jeans that truly reflect your shape and proportions, the first step is a successful 3D Body Scan. At MySizeology®, we use this technology to gather your unique measurements, which become the blueprint for garments that fit your body with precision, comfort, and confidence. A great scan sets you up for perfect custom denim every time.
Here are expert tips to help you take your 3D Body Scan with clarity and success.
1. Clear the Scan Area
Before you start scanning, make sure the space around you and your device is free of clutter. TrueToForm’s guidance notes that anything between you and your camera, or large background objects, can interfere with accurate tracking and measurement capture.
Tip: Stand in a space where the camera sees only you and the background is simple.
2. Stand in Good Lighting
Lighting matters. Soft, even lighting helps the scan system detect body contours with greater detail. Scanning in a dark room or in harsh overhead light can lead to incorrect results.
Tip: Use natural daylight near a window if possible, for the best scan clarity.
3. Rotate in Place with Small Steps
When the scan begins, keep your feet planted in one spot and take small rotational steps. This steady movement helps the system capture every angle of your body without distortion.
Tip: Stay slow and balanced as you turn, like performing a smooth 360-degree portrait.
4. Look Straight Ahead Throughout the Scan
Avoid bending your head to the side or looking back at the camera while rotating. Keeping your gaze forward helps the scan system maintain consistent tracking and produce accurate measurements.
5. Wear Tight-Fitting Clothing
Loose or bulky clothes can bunch up or obscure your actual body shape, which makes the scan less precise. TrueToForm recommends form-fitting attire, so the scan captures your true measurements.
Tip: Wear fitted leggings or a snug top during the scan.
6. Tie Up Long Hair
Hair that falls around your neck or shoulders can interfere with scan recognition of your body outline. Secure long hair above your neck to help the system capture your silhouette clearly.
7. Use a Supported Device
You can complete a TrueToForm 3D Body Scan using the web app on your smartphone or tablet — no app download is required. The scan works on smart devices with a compatible camera and accelerometer.
Tip: A steady device and browser scan often produce better results than moving hardware.
Bonus Tips for Great Scan Results
• Scan in consistent conditions each time — similar lighting and environment — if you plan to update measurements in the future.
• Tie hair up so it does not obscure your neckline.
These simple practices help ensure the 3D Body Scan for your custom garments reflects your unique proportions accurately.
