We’re honored and excited to welcome a new addition to our team!
El Bachir KHADRAOUI has been a member of our community since July 2022, and a fervent reader of all Monday Briefs!
Bachir will be joining our tech team as Unreal Engineer, and will focus primarily on building the backend infrastructure that’s going to make our experiences available to all.
Here’s what he had to say about joining Societhy:
Say hi to him in Discord chat and check out his LinkedIn?here!
Last week we announced our first IRL event as official side event of NFT Paris!
Read our “We need you” section below for information on how to get a ticket.
Here’s a short summary of the event:
We’ve also got a cool new feature for you today!
As you know we’re very big on achieving high definition experiences with top quality graphics. One of the reasons we strive for realism is to enhance our metaverse’s immersiveness.
Creating realistic experiences, however, does not mean we’re aiming to be as “real” as possible. We want it to be?more?than real life. More powerful, more magical, more exciting.
That’s what this new feature is for. Tell us,?have you ever dreamt of flying?
Of course we don’t want our events to become a chaotic gathering of “supermen”, so this feature will only be activated in certain specific situations.
Feature flying, augmenter les possibilités, go beyond what is “real”, be able to discover bigger-than life “things”.
Last week’s difficulties
You will have noticed our preview features the classic Unreal Engine robot model, which is not without its reasons.
Incorporating avatars, let alone metahumans in our events is quite a technical feat all on its own; adjusting the animation kit to fit these complex models is another challenge altogether.
We have to make sure basic and complex animations are done realistically, and automatically adjust to every character model. Transitions between postures need to happen seamlessly as well. It’s a process that requires a lot of testing, adjusting and fine-tuning.
You may remember from our previous updates that we bought a motion capture suit to make this process easier, and to enable the creation of custom animations.
Because demand is high and production is long, we’re still waiting for the suit’s delivery, so we’ll be able to share more animation previews when we start using it.
