Step into cinematic real-time storytelling with The Heretic, a digital human showcase built in Unity HDRP. Featuring an ultra-realistic character rendered in motion, this experience demonstrates the future of AI avatars, virtual actors, and metahuman-grade fidelity, now fully streamable via Vagon Streams.
Why It Matters?
As the line between real and virtual continues to blur, creators are turning to digital humans and AI avatars for storytelling, brand representation, and virtual production. But high-fidelity rendering often requires high-end hardware, limiting accessibility and collaboration, until now.
Behind the Scenes
Originally developed by Unity’s Demo team, The Heretic pushes the limits of real-time character rendering. It leverages HDRP’s advanced lighting, skin shading, hair simulation, and VFX systems to deliver lifelike emotion and cinematic presence.
With Vagon Streams, this level of realism becomes instantly accessible in the browser. Perfect for testing AI avatars, showcasing metahuman models, or building emotionally expressive virtual assistants without worrying about local performance constraints.
