Virtual Humans & Motion Capture

Build MetaHuman and custom digital human assets, then drive them with captured or keyframed performance for games, virtual production, and branded content. We handle facial rig setup, ARKit or FACS blendshape sets, body retargeting, and real-time streaming into Unreal Engine or Unity. Mocap sessions can run on your stage, with data cleaned, solved, and delivered against your skeleton.
