MALE AND FEMALE BASES • Parametric • Catmull-Clark Subdivision • Dual Quaternion Skinning • ~ 17,000 polygons base
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 of 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.
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.
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.
