This demo brings The Heretic: Digital Human asset — originally built with Unity’s HDRP and real-time VFX systems — into a browser-streamed experience using Vagon Streams. It shows how hyper-realistic skin, facial animation, and visual fidelity can be delivered interactively on any device, no install required.
You can explore the character up close, watch facial expressions and skin detail respond to light, toggle shader effects, and move through the scene—all in real time. What was once limited to powerful workstations now runs through the cloud.
The Challenge
Creating a believable digital human involves pushing many subsystems: skin shading, micro-detail, eyes, teeth, hair, facial rigging, and animation blending. In Unity’s The Heretic, the team used a sophisticated pipeline combining 4D scanning, high-resolution textures, and custom shader graphs to achieve photorealism.
Running that same level of detail locally demands strong GPUs and careful optimization. Distributing the project to clients or collaborators typically means large builds, required installs, or static videos that lose interactivity. Differences in hardware cause visual inconsistency: a face might appear soft, shadows washed out, or frame rate stutter. That breaks the illusion and complicates review.
With Vagon Streams, those constraints disappear. The entire pipeline executes in the cloud. The user’s device only acts as a display. The result: every viewer sees the same highly detailed character behavior and shading — regardless of their machine.
The Impact of Cloud Streaming
Streaming The Heretic demo through Vagon Streams changes how animation, VFX, and character design teams present, review, and collaborate.
Artists can deliver link-based demos where clients or stakeholders inspect subtle facial details, skin response, and emotional expression—without needing a powerful GPU. That means decisions on shading, lighting, or expression timing can be validated early in the pipeline.
In creative reviews, everyone sees the same output—no discrepancies caused by local hardware or driver differences. When changes are made (to textures, rigging, effects), they update centrally and become instantly visible. No re-exports or rebuilds.
For education, trainees can interact with advanced digital human tech from any device. They can study facial rigging, skin shading, or animation pipelines without being blocked by hardware limitations.
By centralizing rendering, Vagon Streams ensures the full sophistication of The Heretic demo becomes accessible, interactive, and consistent—removing technical barriers so teams can focus on creativity and detail.
