Czech model Eva Herzigová is now a MetaHuman. The model revealed on Tuesday that there is now a digital likeness of herself in the form of one of Epic Games’ MetaHumans. According to a press release, Herzigová was scanned in a “70 camera setup” and participated in a motion capture shoot to help create the realistic digital avatar.
“This now means Eva’s MetaHuman can be re-dressed, posed and lit, her hair and makeup can be restyled, and her body and facial expressions are ready to be animated using motion capture or traditional animation,” the release says. . Herzigová’s MetaHuman can now be used for things like virtual fashion shows and digital clothing modeling – hopefully for better fashion events than Metaverse Fashion Week.

Epic first introduced its MetaHumans in 2021 to make it easier to create realistic digital humans, and has been steadily improving it ever since; the technology has evolved to allow you to capture realistic facial animations right from your iPhone starting sometime this summer. And Herzigová isn’t the only notable person to turn himself into a MetaHuman, by the way: NBA superstar Luka Dončić introduced a MetaHuman version of himself in September.
