Unsigned: MetaHuman

Leading talent agency, Unsigned, and virtual production studio, Dimension, have worked with supermodel Eva Herzigová to create her lifelike, real-time 3D digital human. Eva, recognised the world over, has been scanned in a 70 camera rig, generating data which a team of character artists used to faithfully recreate her as a 3D MetaHuman. The team has worked to ensure Eva’s likeness has been captured, before working to style her with virtual clothing, hair and make-up. To ensure the MetaHuman has Eva’s signature walk, the supermodel took part in a motion capture shoot, using Vicon systems to track movement of her face and body. This now means that Eva’s MetaHuman can be re-dressed, posed and lit, have her hair and make-up restyled, and her body and facial expressions are ready to be animated using motion capture or traditional animation. A MetaHuman avatar has a multitude of real-time applications, such as virtual fashion shows in VR, 3D browser-based experiences, modelling digital wearables, live video streams, online games, in live broadcast, as well as 2D video and stills.
