Popul8 integrates seamlessly into your current game development pipeline, allowing users to export with your character specifications. You define the file format, topology, texture resolutions and formatting, naming conventions, etc. All game engines are supported such as Unity and Unreal Engine.
Deploying Popul8 in your game studio requires minimal set-up as the software is built to work out-of-the-box. If needed, our technical team will be available to accelerate your ability to deploy your assets and create a pipeline allowing you to achieve character creation goals faster.
A publicly available demo of Popul8 will be available before the end of the year. For a demo with your team, please contact us directly here.
Popul8 enables you to run a near infinite number of characters because it exports your variations as a data set from which to blend from, for example reducing draw calls by 99.33% when rendering 12,000 characters using Popul8's memory optimized format versus single FBX rendering.
Using your base character with its specifications, you can upload your own assets or deformables in Popul8. Your assets will be applied instantly to the characters within Popul8, precisely fitting your artists’ great work to any new shapes. You can control which assets go to which character as you generate the variations you're looking for easily.
