Epic Games Reveals MetaHuman Creator for Unreal Engine
✖
Designing lifelike humans in a video game can be a time-consuming process for video game developers, but the new MetaHuman Creator for Unreal Engine could make it a much simpler process. According to Epic Games, the cloud-streamed app features a number of different options for crafting MetaHuman characters, including hairstyles and body types. Users start by selecting from preset faces and then make adjustments. Once the user is done, the creation can be downloaded through Quixel Bridge for use in Unreal Engine. MetaHuman Creator will be free with Unreal Engine, providing this technology to a much greater pool of potential users.
The new tool is a cloud-based computer app that can reduce the time it takes developers to create "real-time digital humans" from weeks to under an hour.
