Casual Games:

Creating fun, stylized avatars with the Big Stage Avatar Platform is easy. The style of choice for casual games is typically a 2Dor 3D cartoon avatar. Knowing this, we set out to alter our core technology - not simply to toon-shade the photorealistic avatar we create, but to provide a rich variety of style choices. Because ease-of-use and speed is critical to the casual game user experience , we have employed a new “Any Photo” system, enabling users to use any photograph as a starting point to build their avatar.

Core Games:

Avatars for core games could range from styled to photorealistic. Depending on the look and feel of your game, you can elect to use either the advanced stereo 3-photo Big Stage system or the new “Any Photo” system. Both systems are tightly integrated into leading game engines, and can be easily incorporated into any video game.

Serious Games:

The Big Stage photoreal avatars are perfectly suited for the serious games category. Placing personalized, photorealistic avatars into virtual training, education, virtual conferencing and messaging applications is a must have and will significantly drive up the value of any serious games application.

These types of hyper-realistic virtual world environments typically demand that a user accurately represent themselves. Users can take photographs of themselves using a standard camera or in some cases the user may have access to our HD Stereo Kiosk which utilizes proprietary hardware to make a high definition avatar. Either way, users will have the ability to create a photorealistic avatar of themselves in seconds, fully animated and ready for lifelike virtual simulations.

Implementing our Avatar Platform inside of a game engine is a straightforward process. Using your engine’s default system as a guide, we define the head format, customize the translation engine and support the complete platform integration.
