Evolver was the first solution to provide a central portal to design, manage and transport 3D digital avatars.〔''(CIX Top 20: Darwin Dimensions & Evolver )'', Blog, by Rob Lewis, techvibes, 02 dec 2009.〕 Evolver enables social media experience through "avatars or user's representation" across applications which use them,〔''(Evolver )'', CrunchBase, 30 jui 2009.〕 such as virtual worlds, video games and social networks. == Overview == Evolver users may move creations across virtual worlds.〔''(Virtual worlds are getting a second life )'' article, by Vic Keegan, ''The Guardian'', 29 Jul 2009.〕 Because each Evolver avatar is created with a custom face and body animation rig, it can be transported to many 2D or 3D platform.〔''(CIX Top 20: Darwin Dimensions & Evolver )'', Blog, by Rob Lewis, techvibes, 02 dec 2009.〕 The site allows users to create a 3D avatar or clone quickly and for free, exportable for use in many destinations. Advanced 3D artists can export high resolution models rigged for animation.〔''(Evolver Exits Alpha: Avatars For All Uses )'' by Jordi R. Cardona, ''Hiperia'', 25 July 2009.〕 For example, the University of Southern California uses it for its class on performance-capture, co-instructed by producer Robert Zemeckis. Evolver allowed the class to create six mocap-ready character skeletons, with textures and skinning, without knowing how to build 3D characters.〔("Focusing on the Face: Zemeckis Teaches Mocap at USC" ) by Karen Raugust, ''Animation World Network'', 19 April 2007.〕 Avatars are built by morphing different ready made avatars (called ancestors) together using sliders. It is possible to select a specific feature to adjust, such as an eye.〔''("Evolver web-based alpha launched...introducing an easy and fun way to build multi-platform avatars" ) by Jani Pirkola, ''Maxping'', 19 May 2009.〕 Alternately, users can upload a headshot photo to create a custom 3D clone. The user can then make subtle or major changes to the “clone” avatar by tweaking the facial and physical attributes. It also includes a complete library of clothing options to give each character an individual style. 〔("Evolver.com automates 3D Avatar and digital clone creation" ), Press Release, by Jani Pirkola, ''Maxping'', 02 Aug 2009.〕 The final characters are rigged for animation. The characters come in four resolutions, from game quality, all the way up to feature film quality. All resolutions are fully skinned to a customize skeleton.〔("Software Review: Evolver" ), Review, by George Maestri, ''Animation World Network'', 01 Aug 2006.〕 The service is entirely web-based, requiring no downloads. Avatars can also be transported server to server and dropped into existing animations.〔("Evolver" ), ''CrunchBase'', 30 Jul 2009.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Evolver (website)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
