Here are 3 things I thought were worth sharing this week:

🔨 TOOLS

MetaHuman Creator

MetaHuman Creator is a cloud-based app that allows anyone to create photorealistic digital humans, fully rigged and complete with hair and clothing. MetaHuman comes from Unreal Engine and has a free Early Acces program. This one is really worth checking out.

📺 WATCH

Relight Portraits for Background Replacement

Here is a fascinating video on how technology can change the background of a portrait and relight the subject to create much more realistic results. The process uses only a single RGB image and a HDR image to light the environment.

🔨 TOOLS

Autodesk releases USD for 3ds Max

Autodesk has released USD for 3ds Max. The plugin enables users to import and export meshes and materials between Autodesk products. For example Maya and 3ds Max. This will enable non-destructive editing between artists and studios.
