Compatible with 3ds Max®, Maya®, Cinema 4D®, Blender®, Unreal Engine®, Lightwave®, SketchUp®, Rhino® and anima® with support for the best renderers in the industry. We work with passion combining technology and craftsmanship, a perfect union to obtain realistic 3D characters. Through the use of modern 3D photogrammetric scanning technologies and the craftwork of our group of artists, we strive to make Metropoly 3D People near to perfection. Our 3D human models are designed and optimized to offer the best performance during rendering, adding details where they are really needed. For our static models, we create meshes with about 40K polygons while the 3D characters for animation are retopologized to offer the best deformation during the animation and designed to be easily edited and modified.

anima
People and crowd animation software was developed specifically for architects and designers to add 3D animated characters to their projects quickly and easily. With anima®, 3D people become human beings. The new 4D Digital Humans are able to preserve every detail of the clothing and offer impressive facial animations. In addition, with the Ambient 3D characters you can populate the middle and front planes of a scene increasing the realism. anima® uses the same high-quality 3D people found in our metropoly® collections, so there’s no need to compromise on quality. Our actors are driven by real mocap data and a sophisticated AI engine with an automatic procedural motion to achieve super-realistic crowd animations. Add life to your Archviz or any other visualization project! anima® brings up a toolset to easily populate your still renderings and animation videos using our 3D Scanned Metropoly® Ready-Posed and Metropoly® Rigged 3D Human models.
