Could you build this?
No Building an accurate, production-grade 3D human body reconstruction pipeline without SMPL requires deep 3D computer vision expertise and fine-tuning cutting-edge research models like Naver's Anny and Meta's MHR.
What it would actually take: A working pipeline integrates SOTA open-source human mesh recovery models (e.g., MHR, Anny) hosted on GPU infrastructure (RunPod/Modal) with custom pre/post-processing in PyTorch and Trimesh. The hardest challenges are mesh topology standardization, handling occlusions and diverse clothing from single unconstrained consumer photos, and optimizing inference runtime and memory down to sub-dime costs.
