What it is
Didimo’s Popul8 is software for automating 3D character production, including character creation, asset fitting, and variation generation for games. It can generate thousands of diverse, game-ready characters and fit garments and accessories across different body shapes and models. Popul8 Express exports assets to Unity and Unreal, while Enterprise also lists proprietary engines and Maya. Imported characters, garments, and animations work with Maya, Blender, and other 3D software, with FBX, glTF, Unity, and Unreal export formats and rigged exports. Enterprise features include photo-to-3D, concept-art-to-3D, AI character generation, in-game character editors, and full client support. Didimo positions Express for indie and small teams and Enterprise for large and mid-size studios. Express is a lighter edition without some advanced Enterprise functions. The software runs on Windows 10 or newer and macOS Monterey or newer, including M1 and M2 Macs. Access requires booking a demo and requesting the software and license file. Pricing is on request.
