MORPHING

Take advantage of powerful morphing capabilities – Combine various body and extremity shapes, sizes, and muscularity in order to build your one-of-a-kind person or creature.

INCREDIBLE DETAIL

The more detailed a character is, the more realistic and life-like it

  • becomes. With Genesis 3's HD

morphs, we've improved the levels

  • f detail on some of the most critical

body parts including the face, mouth, teeth, hands, feet, chest and

  • neck. These advancements

combined make Genesis 3 more true-to-life than has ever been seen in a morphable human 3D figure.

slide-15
SLIDE 15

FACIAL EXPRESSIONS

Genesis 3 captures facial expression in a very life-like way, the movable jaw and increased facial polygons and eye reflection mesh makes for incredibly life-like characters that truly convey emotions. It also has twice as many points of articulation as ever before, for even greater expression capabilities.

slide-16
SLIDE 16

ARTICULATION

No matter how life-like a figure is, it requires the ability to move in a realistic way. With Genesis 3, the levels of articulation are one of the most significant improvements. For example, Genesis 3 allows for individual movement of ears, toes, neck, chest, abdomen, etc., as well as reworked weight mapping, resulting in more realistic and advanced posing over previous generations.
