Epic Games is launching early access for its MetaHuman Creator tool, which enables people to create realistic animated human characters within minutes.

Epic Games unveiled the tool in February, and it had an overwhelming response from people who tried it and created two MetaHuman sample characters with it. Now, early access users will be able to use it in Unreal Engine, or for further editing in a DCC application like Autodesk’s Maya.
