Discover the Revolutionary AI Tool that Empowers Infinite Avatar and Character Creation

Didimo specializes in creating realistic digital avatars and has launched Popul8, a state-of-the-art AI application that enables game developers and artists to efficiently generate a vast range of unique characters at a fraction of traditional costs. This capability helps to enhance the game world with a rich variety of non-playable characters (NPCs) or lead figures. Didimo The Metaverse Insights team took the opportunity to chat exclusively with Didimo's Chief Technology Officer to glean insights into the potential of this AI tool in avatar creation.

According to Didimo’s CTO, 'Popul8™ equips game studios with a powerful AI solution that accelerates the design and delivery of top-notch 3D game avatars at an unmatched pace and scale. The tool is specifically engineered for use with 3D engines, catering to the distinct requirements of video games and metaverses.' João Orvalho Orvalho continued to explain that the tool gives artists the ability to envision and utilize characters freely. The character files produced by Popul8 are fully compatible with platforms like Unity and Unreal, as well as custom engines, functioning harmoniously with standard industry tools such as Mixamo, ARKit, and Amazon Polly. This integration grants designers access to an endless variety of high-quality characters tailored for immersive 3D environments.

Didimo employs unique AI technologies within its framework. Initially focusing on character creation, the platform integrates sophisticated machine learning and vision technologies to produce an initial character reflecting the designer’s ideas, such as a middle-aged woman from the countryside with long hair.

Orvalho said.

The platform allows for comprehensive customization of each character, featuring dynamic rig adjustments and the capability to incorporate designer styles making the characters coherent within their specific setting. AI processes assist in modifying outfits or accessories as characters change in shape or style. For instance, a character can be transformed from a human into a massive ogre or a tiny fairy, and the clothing will automatically adapt to fit the new form.

The Power of AI in Avatar Creation

In addition, Didimo offers a proprietary methodology to manage and serve asset files efficiently, safeguarding memory usage, thus allowing games and virtual worlds to create a significantly greater number of characters than before.

By integrating the game's aesthetics, artists can ensure that the created characters align with the distinct visual style and atmosphere they are aiming for. Popul8 comes equipped with diverse character creation functionalities, enabling artists to perfect characters to meet their creative demands. The software’s intuitive interface supports batch processing and edits, making it simple for users to generate and organize hundreds of characters for sprawling environments, game levels, or targeted experiences. A unique trait randomization feature enhances character diversity further.

The CTO emphasized that Popul8 is designed to assist artists at every stage of character development, covering everything from initial character and facial modeling to edits, rig fittings, and optimization of file services.

'Our primary goal was to build a system that grants character artists and game designers complete creative control over their designs, enabling them to create characters that resonate with the unique style and needs of their game world. Popul8 achieves this effortlessly and promptly, capable of delivering hundreds of customized 3D avatars within minutes. We aspire for artists to devote more of their time to their creative visions and storytelling while minimizing the tedious tasks that often consume time and lead to frustration,'” he said.

Didimo currently collaborates with a range of clients and partners, including NOS Communications, Ceek, Colossal Order, AI Land, Soleil Game Studios, Sony, Grenoble Ecole du Management, tagSpace, Atom Stars, Unstitched, among others.
