Fully-automated
Asset Fitting
All asset fitting is automatically managed and works regardless of how much you change a character. The quality and look of the asset are maintained while appropriately fitting character changes: no stretching, no intersections, no manual artistic intervention is needed.
Existing proprietary asset libraries and standard external libraries can be imported to the editor. Hair, garments, makeup and accessories can be imported so no previous work is lost.
Custom Styles & Standards
Maintain your creative vision and game style while speeding up your character creation process. Realistic humans, cartoon characters, ogres, fairies and more: the editor can do it all.
Custom styles can be uploaded into the editor tool. Characters will be generated & varied within your art pipeline.
The generation process is fully automatic once set up in the editor and fits seamlessly into any character design workflow, accelerating artists’ work.
Runtime Memory Optimization
Get infinite character variability while maintaining memory budgets (RAM, GPU and CPU). From a minimal number of shapes, our data model allows the GPU to composite large numbers of characters at runtime.
We provide reference code for an in-game, run-time memory- optimized module to quickly render characters for use with Unity, Unreal & bespoke engines.
Now you can render thousands of unique characters where only a few were possible before.
