TECHNOLOGY AND CRAFTS
We work with passion combining technology and craftsmanship, a perfect union to obtain realistic 3D characters. Through the use of modern 3D photogrammetric scanning technologies and the craft work of our group of artists, we strive to make Metropoly 3d People near to perfection.
QUALITY MESHES
Our 3D human models are designed and optimized to offer the best performance during rendering, adding details where they are really needed. For our static models, we create meshes with about 40K polygons while the 3d characters for animation are retopologized to offer the best deformation during the animation and designed to be easily edited and modified.
TEXTURE MAPS
The high level of detail, the UV Layout, the optimization of the textures size and the color processing allow us to offer the best quality 3d people models with the best performance during the rendering process. Forget about the technical problems and spend your valuable time creating impressive images. It should be noted that each of the 3D characters includes multiple color variations for the clothing.
MATERIALS & SHADERS
To guarantee the highest quality results, our character library offers pre-built materials available for the most advanced rendering engines available in the market such as V-Ray, Corona, Octane, Redshift, Arnold, Maxwell, Thea, Cycles, EEVEE, F-Storm, Mental Ray and many other industry standards. Start creating spectacular architectural images full of life right now!
ANIMATION
Animate our rigged 3d People either using keyframe animation, mocap data or anima® population tool. Our animation software is the 3d people animation application developed specifically for architects and designers, ideal for creating amazing 3d animated people quickly and easily! With anima® you can populate your still renderings and animation videos using our 3D Scanned Metropoly® Ready-Posed and Metropoly® Rigged 3D Human models.
CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY
Our revolutionary and innovative metropoly® 4D Digital Humans character animation system, the 3D characters in your scenes will finally be perceived as truly human!
SCANNING TECHNOLOGY
Developed with scanning technology and using the world's most sophisticated photogrammetry rig, metropoly 3D People strive for perfection.
HIGH RESOLUTION TEXTURES
Distributed with amazing textures and normal maps developed by top-industry artists, you are guaranteed the highest quality results and the ultimate artistic experience.

AWARD WINNING
We manufacture and market an award-winning line of 3D people models to accelerate your productivity while working on your architectural visualization, animation, games, virtual and augmented reality projects.
They are 3D people physically present in your scene like any other 3D model. They will allow you to create shots from any angle combining perfectly with the lighting and perspective of your scene. Unlike traditional 2D cutouts, with our models of 3D people you will have greater artistic freedom. You can take shots with wide angle, telephoto or any type of lens and obtain realistic optical effects such as depth of field. Start a new experience now!
- GEOMETRY ~40000 Tris
- TEXTURES Diffuse, Specular, and Normal Maps
- DRAG & DROP With anima® LITE, PRO, ALL
Perfect to be animated either with traditional keyframe animation, mocap data or anima®, our crowd animation software. Each 3d characters has been retopologized to offer a good balance between performance and deformations during the animation. Combined with anima®, adding people walking, going up / down stairs, standing or sitting in conversations to your architectural visualization project in 3ds Max®, Cinema 4D® or Unreal® will be instant!
- GEOMETRY ~8000 Quads
- TEXTURES Diffuse, Specular, and Normal Maps
- ANIMATED With anima® LITE, PRO, ALL
Thanks to 3D scans and a new automatic rigging solution we are able to capture and apply various movements to be used as idle animations. These actors are ideal to populate the middle and front plane of a scene being able to: look at the stage, look at other actors, and simulate the movement of arms, legs and breathing. All these subtle variations greatly enhance realism.
- GEOMETRY ~8000 Quads | ~40000 Tris
- TEXTURES Diffuse, Specular, and Normal Maps
- DRAG & DROP With anima® LITE, PRO, ALL
These new animated 4D people are capable of preserving all the details of the clothing and offer facial animations that provide unattainable realism. All this is possible thanks to a new motion capture algorithm and technology developed by the AXYZ design team capable of capturing all those details that are normally lost in a typical Rigged character.
- GEOMETRY ~50000 Streaming Tris at 30fps
- TEXTURES 2048x2048px Diffuse streaming video
