Replica's Unreal Engine Plugin - AI voice actors for Unreal Engine

by•

We're launching a plugin for Unreal Engine that lets you use Replica's realistic sounding AI voice actors inside your games. Perfect for anyone who needs a voice in their game, but doesn't have the time or budget to hire a voice actor.

Hi Product Hunt! When we founded Replica a couple of years back we dreamed that one day, game developers, filmmakers, animators, educators, and creatives would produce highly realistic speech performances using AI voices. Earlier this year we launched our Web App & API that lets you prototype dialog and voice-overs : https://www.producthunt.com/post... Today, we're excited to announce the launch of our plugin for Unreal Engine. With Replica's UE plugin, creatives will have access to some of the World's most expressive AI Voices powered by Replica's synthetic voice engine. Just how expressive are Replica AI voices? Check out the demo on our website, called 'The Quest' where the entire vocal performance was synthesized using Replica AI Voice Actors. They even do battle cries. Replica's UE plugin will revolutionise the audio production workflow for millions of Unreal Engine creatives and pave the way for gaming to become more personalised and immersive. Unreal Engine is also used by professional film-makers, animators, virtual beings and creatives producing amazing, other-worldly content. We're inviting all UE developers, indie through AAA, to sign up to our beta at www.replicastudios.com/unreal We can't wait to see what you'll build! If you have any questions, please ask us in a comment below. Shreyas, CEO Replica Studios

HOT DAMN! Kudos to the team and holy smokes to the video editor behind this! Whoever you are... did a bang up job!! Give yourself a massive pat on the back :) Replica has clearly come a long way and I have no doubt will continue to progress so much further. I can't remember how many times we'd hired talent and had them sitting in a studio when clients were realising their scripts sounded weird when read out a loud. I feel like this will save so much time for producers and VO talent. And for the indie developers who can't afford talent in the first place. Holy smokes. Super exciting gang, well done to you all!!!

@tyson_ Thanks for the kind words. We love the video too! Full credit to @gvncmpbllwlsn for that :)
Maker
@tyson_ Thanks! The video was a lot of fun to create 🤓 We're hoping that this plugin will save a lot of time during pre-production and also allow developers to quickly create production ready vocal performances in their games.

@gvncmpbllwlsn just checked out your portfolio, amazing work man. Looking forward to seeing more mind-blowing work from you and the team!

Replica's voices are fascinating - I'm (still) not Unreal Engine user, I rather use the potential of Replica Studios for my AI-driven movies. But I say you what: if I imagine, this quality will be once implemented in Games for, say AI- or algorithm-driven dialogs between you and NPSs, that would be grandiose. You get the theater-quality of voices here (my favs are Deckard and Solomon - very artistic rendering).

@merzmensch Deckard and Solomon are absolutely one of our favourite as well, their performance is just something else ;)
Maker
@merzmensch we also have an API and a web app so you don’t need to use UE 😉

@merzmensch @gvncmpbllwlsn Thank you! I couldn't find the emotion control besides of specific moods for some of the voices. Will it be rolled out? (Like in the video demo where you even can emphasize a single word). That's be great! :) Btw. here is my newest video using Replica Voices:
Maker
@merzmensch yes, we are working on rolling this out in Q1 of 2021 :)

This looks incredible! The technology blows me away, especially being able to select from different emotions. I can see this changing how games are created, especially paired with Unreal Engine. Nice work Replica team!

@jxgrnt Thanks Jackson! This is the product that we have been dreaming to build since we first started - a product that can enhance people creativity in games, animations, and many more!

@michelle_chee1 it's been fun to show you the product and voices evolve! Excited for what this will mean for the next gen of games and film.

@vladojsem Haha, no more robotic voice overs :)

WoW! It's amazing! I've been looking for something like that for a long time! How many voices do you have?
Maker
@deeaero thanks :) we currently have 31 Replica Voices and you don't have to wait for the Unreal Engine plugin to use them. The voices in the video are not yet on the platform. They will potentially be released this quarter. We are currently working on improving our existing voices and adding a lot more new character voices which we will ship in Q1 of 2021.

@tylerlastovich @riccardo_grinover BTW, love your usage of our Generated Photos. ❤️ Hopefully soon they will be in Unreal too. ;)

wow! That demo video is 🤯!!!! This is amazing for games but could be also used for product videos or some fun marketing videos. I just imagined doing a video with dogs and adding a voice-over to it :D
Keni Mardira
Maker
@agatakristo 100% can be used to make video with dogs and voice-over ;) Also product and fun marketing videos too! Shoutout to @gvncmpbllwlsn for the demo video!
Maker
@agatakristo thanks Agata! We have a web app which you can sign up for and use right now at replicastudios.com :)
Nate Watkin
Really cool stuff. I see that this is offered outside of Unreal for other types of creative projects as well. Will have to give it a shot on an upcoming project!
