Novi Sad’s 3Lateral, a Serbian company known for digitizing human characters, was acquired by Epic Games two years ago. Now, as part of the Epic family, they are releasing a tool for creating digital people in the cloud: MetaHuman Creator.
MetaHuman Creator will be released through Unreal Engine, an advanced real-time 3D creation tool. It will be created as a browser-powered application designed to significantly speed up the production process of digital people without compromising the final quality of the digital character.
In the past couple of years, Unreal Engine has shown several examples of high quality digital people, from fictional people like Senue or Siren, to digital doubles like Andy Serkis or Mike Seymour. Companies 3Lateral and Cubic Motion have led the field.
MetaHuman Creator will be ready for testing within the Early Access program that is planned for the coming months.
