Didimo and P-Labs partner to simplify in-game NPC generation

Didimo, the company behind game character creation solutions, announced today that it has entered a strategic partnership with P-Labs. Together, the two have created a scalable workflow for game companies to quickly create large and artistically consistent groups of characters, combining P-Labs’ 3D artwork AI and Didimo’s Popul8 creation engine.

According to the companies, this new workflow allows game developers to move from 2D art to in-game character generation with relatively few steps. Devs can upload concept art of characters and generate 3D models, which can then be fed to Popul8 to create artistically consistent crowds of fully rigged, diverse NPCs.
