Digital Twin: Bridging Reality with Simulated World

Project Type

Virtual Product Launch

Client

DigitalApple

Service

Art Direction, 3D Character Design, 3D Environment, Character Animation

Project brief

Streamline operations, improve line layouts, and enhance workflows using Digital Twins in a simulated, immersive environment. Specialized Digital Twins of real-world facilities are tailored to specific needs, with real-time data visualization, enabling interactive simulations.

Responsible for planning and art Directing the project alongside other 3d modelers & Unreal engine
specialists. Closely involved in 3D background, Props creation, Character design, character animation & UI design.
 

3d environment creation

3D Environment Creation / 3D Prop

We use Autodesk 3ds Max and Blender for most of the modeling and texturing work. Models are imported and assembled in Unreal Engine for the final output. We use props from Sketchfab and TurboSquid for additional small elements. Lighting is done entirely in Unreal Engine.

We planned the whole area for each use case (Farm, Facility, Factory, Healthcare, Smart City) in 2D first. After that, we gathered and modeled all required 3D elements. Finally, we merged them into Unreal Engine."

Process

Character Design & Texturing

We use MetaHuman Creator by Unreal Engine and Character Creator as the two main DCC tools for character modeling. We strive to maintain a realistic approach to our character models in the most optimized way, ensuring they are easy to rig and iterate.

Process

We leverage inbuilt models (male, female) from Character Creator as a basic structure and later change their appearance and clothes to create variations.

Character Animation and Rigging

We leverage Character Creator's inbuilt rigging tool, AccuRIG, to rig all of our characters. We use iClone to animate all the rigged characters, ensuring the animation is as realistic as possible.

Process

We utilize iClone's character animation library for most of our character animations to make the process quick and realistic. For customized animations, we create them manually with keyframes."

UI & Graphic Design

We leverage Photoshop and Illustrator for most of the additional design and UI design (e.g., banners, posters, pop-up messages). For motion banners, we use After Effects to create videos.
