Epic Games has turned supermodel Eva Herzigova into a "metahuman" they plan to use her in video games

Czech supermodel Eva Herzigova has become a "metahuman" and now exists as a digital copy, recreated using the MetaHuman toolkit from Epic Games.

According to the company's press release, Herzigova was scanned on a 70-camera setup and took part in motion capture filming, which allowed Epic Games to create her realistic digital avatar.

The meta-version of the model supports a change of wardrobe, hairstyle and makeup, and due to advanced animation, her body and facial expressions are ready for various poses, including reproducing characteristic individual movements and gait.

It is planned that Eva's digital double will be used in fashion virtual shows, clothing modeling, cinematic commercials, advertising and other projects based on the Unreal Engine, including video games.

MetaHuman technology was introduced in 2021 and is designed for easy and fast design of photorealistic models of people.

At the same time, Eva Herzigova is not the only famous person who has turned into a "meta—human". Earlier, NBA basketball player Luka Doncic was also recreated in MetaHuman.
