Digital Humans - Emotional Update

Digital Humans · published 9 Mar 2026, 11:07 UTC · build 22254273

New: Emotional Facial Expressions

Characters can now display facial expressions while speaking.
During conversations, Digital Humans react with subtle emotions such as amusement, curiosity, skepticism, surprise, or concern. Expressions unfold naturally as the character talks, making interactions feel much more alive.

Face Cinema Engine

This update introduces the very first itaration of the Face Cinema Engine, a new system that allows characters to express emotions dynamically during dialogue. Instead of static faces, characters now perform small reactions that match the tone of what they are saying.

Improvements

  • More expressive character performances

  • Better synchronization between speech and facial animation

  • Improved conversational flow

Ongoing Development

This update lays important groundwork for further improvements to character behavior and interaction.
If you already own Digital Humans, jump in and talk to the characters - their reactions are now much more expressive.

More updates coming.
