Does anyone have any idea how this was done?

[neofragoso]

I have been asked to take some pics and have the final product like the 2 pics I attached. Has anyone done this before or have any idea how to do it so the clothes look like that they have an invisible person in it? I also heard that there is a software that you can use to give shape to the clothes. That you photograph the clothes with nobody in it and the software shapes it like there was someone in it. Has anyone heard about it?
Thank you very much.

Wearing Chromakey (Chroma key) Green Screen Body Suit with the advertised cloths over it. Then remove the green.

I wouldn't think that it is cromakey because you can see the inside of the clothes

Nor sure if this is any helpful, but have a look: http://www.worth1000.com/tutorial.asp?sid=161099

traditionally you will want to minimize any form of post production on product images since you usually end up doing hundreds of the little buggers.

So what you do is you use see-through plastic torsos and/or torsos cut up to only give volume where it's covered and you then see straight into the garment. That way you still might need to do some cleaning up, but a LOT less than if you had to remove a person in a green/blue-suit or such.

Id agree with you untill i saw HelloPiccadilly's suggested movie where a persons head was removed; then the back of a shite and jackey was created.

Its basicly the same process as the movew except the cromakey make for an easyer extraction.

------------------------

On a diffrent note, if you look at the body shape they are exactly the same. So this could be an outfit on an anvitar with the avitar being see through.

I decided that the jacket needed an undershirt so i combined them.

They match up nicely,

I did this as a test for a sport goods manufacturer last year. The bulk of the work happens on the photo end. The shirt was photographed on a mannequin and this was 90% of the photo. The inside was photographed separately while an assistant held the shirt up and open so that the desired area was visible. Then I built the composite by using both/multiple shots and cloning/rebuilding any missing areas.

Overall it worked well and gave the desired affect. However, they make mannequins that are clear and I think this would have worked better. There would be glare to deal with, but the shape/form would be more natural and there would be less to build in post-processing.

My first thought was using photoshop to do the inside. My only concern was having to do that for at least a hundred outfits or more. I heard that there was a software that if you would take a pic of the clothe the software would add shape to it. Have you heard about it?

i believe this answers your question
i had an opportunity to see some of this transparent mannequins or more concretely, for the pics you've displayed transparent body parts. They are quite transparent and if you look at the inside of the hood on your picture, for me it's seems as though some little work had been done there, mostly for the etiquette, but the density of this acrylic materials that are used for this dolls isn't that high so the distortion of the background color won't require much post work.
certainly not as much as any 3D modeling would

here's an example of this type of dolls, i myself have seen even clearer, more transparent types
hopefully this will be of some help to you
