The weight categories represented were guided by the centile cut-offs used by the NCMP 19 and their labelling terminology, i.e. The seven weight categories used were: underweight (≤second centile, clinically low weight) lower-healthy weight (2.1–49.9th centile, clinically healthy weight) mid-healthy weight (50.0–74.9th centile, clinically healthy weight) upper-healthy weight (75.0–90.9th centile, clinically healthy weight) overweight (91.0–97.9th centile, clinically overweight), lower-very overweight (98.0–99.5th centile, clinically obese) and upper-very overweight (≥99.6th centile, clinically extremely obese).

To create a BIS, for each age and gender, the 3D body shapes for all children within a particular weight category were averaged and a single 3D representation of the size and shape of all the constituent bodies in that category was produced. 18 Thus the weight status of each child and their associated 3D body scan was known. 18Ĭhild height and weight measurements were used to calculate BMI (weight (kg)/height (m 2)), and child weight status using UK90 criteria. Since 4–5 and 10–11 year old children are those age groups monitored nationally, 19 the aim of this study was to create sex- and age-specific BIS of known weight status for children aged 4–5 and 10–11 years using UK90 criteria. 19 Body image scales (BIS) based on UK child populations and weight status criteria are therefore required if the utility of a visual tool in improving recognition of childhood obesity by English parents is to be examined. 10– 17 None, however, are suitable for use with parents in an English setting since they do not correspond to the British 1990 growth reference (UK90) cut points for child weight status 18 which are used nationally by the National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) to monitor childhood overweight and obesity and inform parents of their child’s weight status. Visual representations of different child weight statuses have previously been developed and used for research purposes. 2 Research suggests that non-growth chart-based approaches should be considered 5 and, given the methods by which parents determine child weight status and their sensitivity to its more visible manifestations, 9 the use of a visual tool to improve recognition warrants further investigation.

8 Identifying methods for improving parental recognition of childhood overweight are therefore urgently needed because, without recognition, parents are unlikely to make appropriate lifestyle changes or seek support. Parental ability to correctly identify childhood overweight in the future may become even more problematic because with increasing levels of childhood overweight at a societal level comes a shift in what constitutes ‘normal’ weight toward heavier weight categories. 1– 4 This may be due to parents using visual assessments of children and comparisons with others, 5– 7 rather than using objective measures such as body mass index (BMI) or growth charts, 6, 7 when determining child weight status. Note: The Decimator and Texture Atlas require DAZ Studio version 4.5.0.114 or higher.Evidence indicates that parental recognition of childhood overweight is limited. Use LOD features in DAZ Studio to automatically switch between models depending on factors such as distance from the camera. Once the scene is set, the higher poly models can be used for rendering.Īnimators - will love being able to add more characters to their animations, improve performance, and reduce production times.ĭecimator for DAZ Studio allows users to create any number of lower polygon versions of a high resolution model known as Levels of Detail (LODs).

Game Developers - will love being able to create lower poly versions of customized DAZ 3D figures which can be exported directly into popular game engines.Ĭreative Artists - will love being able to add and manipulate more characters in a scene without impacting performance.

And, while faster computers and advanced graphics cards have made high polygon budgets the norm, there are still reasons to want or need lower poly versions of the same high quality models. DAZ 3D model artists spare no expense on the number of polygons required to create exquisite 3D shapes. DAZ 3D is well known for high quality 3D models.
