Reallusion has announced Game Tools for Unity, a new plug-in connecting developers to limitless Unity character creation and automatic setup. With this launch, developers can design and deploy AAA-quality characters on an indie budget with tools for character creation, animation, face/body motion capture, and a massive motion library ideal for film production as well game development.

“We strive to be a total character solution,” said John C. Martin, VP of Product Marketing, Reallusion. “Game Tools for Unity allows you to optimize game characters with polygon reduction, LOD, UV and material merging for max efficiency. You can also import ready-to-play characters into game engines with Reallusion’s Character Creator automated support for shader assignment, game controller and facial performances. Whether you are doing game development or film production, Game Tools is your go-to solution for characters that create new storytelling possibilities.”

A platform for games and real-time virtual production, Unity was recently awarded the Technical & Engineering Emmy for Disney’s BayMax Dreams featuring real-time character animation. As more filmmakers and creators utilize real-time technology to visualize their stories, they now have Reallusion’s dedicated real-time character solution to generate optimal characters and motions for use in Unity games or cinematic real-time productions. Game, App, AR, and VR content developers can deploy 100% royalty free characters with rapid creation and big cost savings.
