Popul8, developed by tech company Didimo, is a generative AI tool designed to simplify character creation in game development studios. It addresses the problem of repetitive character models in open-world games by allowing the automatic generation of countless unique characters. Popul8 offers three key value propositions: game companies can upload their own style, artists can focus on creating assets for characters, and a vast dataset enables the creation of diverse and unique characters. The tool is compatible with common game development engines like Unreal and Unity and includes optimization codes for rendering characters. Didimo owns the proprietary generative AI technology behind Popul8, with several patents and a focus on sharing knowledge and collaborating with other companies. The tool supports scalable character detail through LODs and has the capability to scan users and replicate them digitally. It aims to revolutionize character variation in video games and has already been implemented in a game with tens of thousands of unique characters.
