Didimo debuts generative AI-powered video game character creation tool - SiliconANGLE

Digital human avatar technology provider Didimo Inc. is bringing generative artificial intelligence to the world of video game character creation. With today's launch of Popul8, Didimo says, game developers now have a simple way to create hundreds of unique game characters in a fraction of the usual time and cost. Popul8 is a generative AI tool that builds on Didimo's existing avatar creation toolset, accelerating the time it takes for developers to create extremely lifelike, 3D game and metaverse characters with full control over their appearance. Traditionally, it has taken developers countless hours to create realistic-looking characters for their computer games, with painstaking attention to detail a very necessary part of the design process. With Popul8, it becomes possible to design animated and diverse avatars in a matter of minutes. The tool allows for consistent designs, with users able to upload template characters from any game to ensure their new avatars match its aesthetic style.
