In nuce: Software developer Reallusion has released Auto Setup for Unity. This is according to reports published on cgchannel.com and 80.lv. It is a free plug-in that is designed to make it easier to set up 3D characters from the software solutions Character Creator, iClone and ActorCore ( also from Reallusion) so that they can be transferred to the Unity game engine – and further processed there. Different versions of the plug-in are available; each version is aimed at a different Unity rendering pipeline. Auto Setup for Unity is orientated towards the High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP).

In toto: Auto Setup for Unity was originally created as a tool by artist Victor Soupday; the tool is now being further developed in collaboration with Reallusion. To date, the tool has been very popular with artists to, as the message on cgchannel.com states, “transfer exported characters from Character Creator or iClone into the Unity game engine.” The handling of Auto Setup for Unity should be very simple, according to cgchannel.com: Drag the exported character into Unity, open the import tools – and start editing the imported character. It is also possible to edit Reallusion’s Digital Human Shader within the Unity Editor – this includes editing skin, hair, eyes and teeth.
Further functions: It is also possible to make corrections with the help of the plug-in: For example, artefacts in fabric simulations can be removed, and facial morphs and expressions can be previewed in the editor. According to 80.lv, citing the Reallusion website, physics, LOD, Lightroom and tessellation functions are planned for the next version of Auto Setup for Unity.

Digital Production last reported on a software offering from Reallusion in an advertorial on 13 December 2022 . At that time, it was Cartoon Animator 5, which won over amateur and professional artists with its new functions.
