Bespoke Digital Humans · White-Glove Design and Deployment
Give your project a character
no one else could own.
Vivience designs and deploys one-of-one digital humans for media and entertainment, brand representation, personal assistance, learning, culture and institutional innovation. Every character is developed from form to mind for the specific project.
Research Prototype · Reflective-Collaborative Persona
LightArch
Custom MetaHuman morphology, voice, personality, knowledge architecture and relational design.
Not Another Avatar
A complete character system.
A convincing digital human is not created by selecting a face, attaching a chatbot and choosing a synthetic voice.
Appearance, personality, knowledge, memory, behaviour and purpose must reinforce one another. No two Vivience digital humans receive the same personality architecture.
01
Form
Custom MetaHuman or Character Creator design, anthropomorphic facial morphology, grooming, wardrobe, surface identity and embodied performance.
02
Mind
Voice, backstory, worldview, temperament, persona scaffolding, emotional orientation and project-specific behavioural boundaries.
03
World
Knowledge banks, LLM orchestration, contextual memory, narrative objectives, actions, environmental awareness and deployment.
White-Glove Character Creation
From project intent to deployable digital human.
Vivience combines character art, cinematic production, interaction design and relational-AI research in one managed process.
01
Character Strategy
Audience, role, experience, environment, objective, relational risks and success criteria.
02
Visual Identity and Morphology
MetaHuman or Character Creator development, facial structure, age, identity, grooming, wardrobe and performance needs.
03
Voice and Performance
Voice direction, accent, tone, prosody, timing, facial expression, gesture, posture and movement.
04
Persona Scaffolding
Biography, worldview, values, temperament, communication style, relational orientation and guardrails.
05
Knowledge and Intelligence
Knowledge banks, RAG, LLM selection, context, memory, narrative objectives, moderation and actions.
06
Deployment and Evaluation
Unreal integration, browser or immersive delivery, testing, refinement, governance and handover.
Character Creation Platforms
Selected for the creative and deployment brief.
Custom MetaHumans
High-fidelity Unreal Engine characters for cinematic, interactive and real-time applications. Vivience customises morphology, identity, grooming, materials, wardrobe, performance, animation, voice, persona and knowledge.
Character Creator Characters
Reallusion Character Creator workflows for realistic or stylised identities, custom proportions, wardrobe systems, facial profiles, animation interoperability and broader production flexibility.
World and Spatial Experience
The character does not exist in isolation.
The environment determines how the audience reads the character. Vivience can design the complete digital space, including architecture, set dressing, lighting, cinematic cameras, interactive staging and the visual logic that connects character and world.
01
Creative Worldbuilding
Creative brief, visual language, references, mood, spatial narrative and environmental identity.
02
Environment Design
Architecture, interiors, exteriors, modular sets, props, furniture, signage and set dressing.
03
Lighting Design
Key, fill and practical lighting, atmosphere, colour temperature, mood and real-time optimisation.
04
Cinematic Cameras
Lens language, framing, camera positions, virtual cinematography, shot design and presentation modes.
05
Interaction Staging
Character placement, audience distance, navigation, triggers, hotspots, entrances and environmental actions.
06
Optimisation and Delivery
Performance budgets, LODs, streaming, packaging, deployment testing and device-specific optimisation.
Illustrative Reference
The Vivience AI Studio was designed for LightArch and Annelore.
The office is not a neutral background. Its architecture, materials, lighting, furniture, framing and spatial composition support the characters’ research identity and the audience’s perception of them.
Scoping Principle
Character and world may be commissioned together or separately.
A client may supply an existing environment, commission a focused branded set, or request a fully original world. The level of environmental authorship materially changes schedule, staffing and cost.
Custom Grooming and Garment Design
Identity extends beyond the face.
Hair, facial grooming, costume, fabric behaviour and accessories can become defining elements of the character. Vivience can art-direct and integrate fully customised assets where the project requires a unique hero-grade result.
Custom Grooming
Bespoke hair, beard, eyebrows, eyelashes or speciality grooming may require dedicated third-party grooming artists, simulation and engine integration.
Custom Garments
Original clothing may require concept design, patterning, Marvelous Designer or equivalent production, sculpting, texturing, rigging, cloth behaviour and optimisation.
Accessories and Hero Assets
Jewellery, eyewear, branded objects, footwear, props and speciality assets may require separate modelling, materials, rigging and interaction work.
Commercial treatment: fully bespoke grooming and garment creation should be quoted as a separate third-party production allowance plus Vivience art direction, technical supervision, integration, testing and project-management fees. The scope should never be assumed inside a standard character price.
Individual Voice and Personality
No two digital humans should feel the same.
Personality influences how the character interprets questions, explains information, expresses uncertainty, communicates boundaries, responds emotionally and maintains continuity.

Knowledge and LLM Architecture
Intelligence shaped around the project.
Vivience does not force every digital human onto the same model, knowledge source or memory configuration.
Knowledge Sources
Approved documents, URLs, structured data, FAQs, catalogues, media and client APIs.
Model Selection
LLM choice based on nuance, latency, cost, data requirements and deployment constraints.
Memory
In-session and long-term memory configured only where the experience requires continuity.
Narrative and Actions
Objectives, triggers, decisions, environmental events and context-aware behaviours.
Guardrails
Moderation, restricted topics, safety rules, project boundaries and human escalation.
Governance
Roles, data responsibilities, retention, suppliers, AI transparency and deployment documentation.
Applications
Designed for the experience, not constrained to one industry.
Media and Entertainment
Interactive characters, fictional personalities, story worlds, games, live productions and immersive entertainment.
Brand Ambassadors
Website representatives, launches, events, showrooms, campaigns and experiential marketing.
Personal Assistants
Knowledge concierges, executive assistants, specialist guides and purpose-built long-term assistants.
Learning and Training
Roleplay, coaching, simulation, guided practice, tutoring and professional development.
Culture and Public Engagement
Museum interpreters, historical or fictional figures, exhibitions and accessible knowledge experiences.
Research and Innovation
Experimental prototypes, funded research pilots, human-AI studies and responsible deployment programmes.
Technology Ecosystem
Vivience-authored. Partner-enabled.
Vivience leads character strategy, morphology, voice, persona, knowledge, relational design, integration and client outcomes. Specialist platforms provide selected infrastructure.
Vivience Experience
Character identity, voice, personality, knowledge, behaviour, environment and audience experience.
Relational Architecture
Persona scaffolding, AER, memory design, narrative logic, guardrails and evaluation.
Production and Integration
MetaHuman, Character Creator, Unreal Engine, animation, APIs, immersive delivery and pixel streaming.
Infrastructure
Convai services, selected LLMs, speech systems, cloud services and project-specific enterprise infrastructure.
