Vladimir Mastyrovich, Vice President of Digital Human Technology at Epic Games, said, 'The inspiration for MetaHuman was that I was fascinated by CG digital characters. Digital humans are also magical to us. It's also infinitely complicated. '



MetaHuman Creator is an application that runs on cloud streaming.



This allows anyone to create high-precision digital characters.



High-precision CG production, which used to take months, can now be done in just a few minutes, eliminating the need to think about the technical steps that would normally be required. We will create a character by selecting three base people ...



It is also possible to finely change individual parts such as hairstyles and eyes one by one.



'We're tackling three very difficult challenges, but we haven't compromised on any of them,' said Paul Doyle, product manager for MetaHuman Creator. Perfect quality can be achieved by anyone with this tool. '



Since all the generated characters are rigged in real time, it is easy to animate the CG.



Until now, this kind of work could only be done by a team that could secure a large amount of expensive production time, but with MetaHuman Creator, anyone can create a highly accurate CG model.



You can change every detail, such as the color of your eyes and the shape of your iris.



'MetaHuman Creator is an extremely easy-to-use system. You can just sit in front of the tools and immerse yourself in pure creativity, which is a lot of fun,' said Alexander Popov, art director at Epic Games. I did.



According to James Golding, technical director of Epic Games, MetaHuman Creator uses a library that scans real humans, so it mixes different parts of real humans to make it look real. You can create a unique CG model.



It is also possible to add wrinkles to age the character, in which case the wrinkles are really matched to the shape of the face by subtly changing the geometry of the face at the same time. This makes it possible to create realistic and credible characters.




It is also possible to switch from

strand-based hair, which is expressed in high definition one by one, to hair that looks like a simple helmet.




You can even adjust it for use on a variety of devices by creating a simplified version of the face geometry.





In addition, MetaHuman Creator can be accessed early by applying for access from the official website.
