Epic Games has created an editor that could forever change the way digital characters are created. With the new MetaHuman, anyone can imagine a digital avatar and recreate it down to the smallest detail. This technology can therefore be used not only by video game developers, but also for animated films or for anyone who needs it.
MetaHuman is browser-based and integrated with Unreal Engine, will arrive during the 2021 and will allow much faster than usual to arrive at an extremely realistic model for your characters.
Vladimir Mastilovic, vice president of Epic Games explained:
“Up until now, one of the biggest challenges in creating three-dimensional content was the need to build believable-looking human beings. Even the most experienced artists need significant time, great effort, equipment - and all for a single character ».
“For us it is above all about making things more democratic, we want to transform the industry. People could not achieve this kind of results due to budgets, but now even a single narrator will be able to access them, new types of stories can be told " Mastilovic explained in an interview for GameSpot.
The editor is extremely intuitive, and will be launched with eighteen different body types and attires already included to choose from. so that everyone can create their characters as similar as possible to how they imagined them.
