Characters in games that look exactly like living beings? Realism in the virtual world is rapidly entering the computer games market.
Realism in games is a guideline followed by both graphic designers when creating new productions and gamers looking for market novelties. The world of computer games has changed dramatically over the last decade. Another revolution was brought to us by Epic Games, whose Unreal Engine supports the MetaHuman Creator application. Thanks to this application, which works on the principle of streaming, in a very short time we can create… a human being. The mechanism of creation is similar to the one we know from The Sims. However, the effects that we can achieve are incomparably better.
MetaHuman Creator allows us to create really realistic looking characters. We can refine every detail, nuance and wrinkle. Certainly, Epic Games’ refinement of facial expressions and humanization of the eyes of photorealistic characters have a large impact on such a good reception of the program
At the moment we can test MetaHuman Creator on the game “Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II”. However, the creators announce that soon the list of titles will be extended. And not only the most popular games. In the future the application is to have a wider use. Epic Games plans to implement it in the form of visual human avatars or assistants.
