Since high school, graphic design and photography were passions of mine. I started doing wedding photography from 2006-2018 while also getting into video editing and making short films as a hobby. When I was five years old, I got my first Nintendo console. Since then, I have been a huge video game fan, never thinking I could create a game myself; however, In 2016, I got into Virtual Reality Game Development and designed four VR experiences. While designing games, I learned 3D modeling and finally got to where I am today, where I spend most of my free time creating 3D content.

The Ecosystem of Endless Potential
Reallusion’s ecosystem is vast, encompassing the Content Store, Marketplace, and ActorCore. Each platform offers a diverse range of 3D assets, animations, and props, catering to creators at every level. Even more, characters and motions in ActorCore can easily integrate with major 3D tools and engines, such as Unreal and Blender. The challenge? With such a rich collection, finding exactly what you need can sometimes feel like looking for a needle in a haystack. That’s where Smart Search steps in to bridge that gap, ensuring quick and relevant results without wasting valuable time or effort.
Deep Search and Keyword Search — A Dynamic Duo
Smart Search operates through two powerful tools: Deep Search and Keyword Search. Deep Search uses AI-powered visual recognition to analyze images and find visually similar assets and natural language descriptions.
Keyword Search, on the other hand, allows users to locate items based on names, tags, and descriptions.
This dual approach streamlines the search process, ensuring that assets are just a few clicks away and allowing creators to stay in the flow of their work without unnecessary interruptions or delays.
Now, imagine creating a unique character design using AI. By uploading a reference image to Deep Search, you can instantly find hairstyles, outfits, and accessories that match your vision. Alternatively, if you have a specific item in mind, a simple keyword description can lead you to the exact asset you need without endless scrolling.
Building a Character from Scratch
To showcase Smart Search in action, let’s walk through the process of building a character using this innovative tool.
This is the reference image that will be used for image search.
1. Finding the Right Hairstyle
With a reference image in hand, Deep Search analyzes and displays hairstyles that closely match the design. If needed, the search can be narrowed by selecting the “Hair” category, ensuring precise results every time.
2. Selecting Clothing with Image and Text Prompts
Need a cowl neck top with a geometric pattern? Simply drag a Google image into Deep Search or describe it with keywords like “Cowl Neck Shirt.” Instantly, relevant results from the Content Store and Marketplace appear, allowing you to preview, purchase, and apply items directly to your character without second-guessing.
3. Accessories and Final Touches
From shoes to jewelry, Smart Search makes every detail count. Dragging a cropped image of boots into Deep Search generates a list of similar styles, speeding up the selection process.
By combining image and text-based searches, the entire character design comes together quickly and efficiently, cutting down on development time.
Enhancing Animation Projects with Speed and Precision
The power of Smart Search extends beyond asset discovery. By enabling faster access to diverse content, creators can focus on what truly matters, that is, bringing their ideas to life.
Imagine animating a sophisticated 3D character, with each element of her outfit, accessories, and movement sourced in seconds through Smart Search in a quick and effortless manner.
A Tool for Every Creator
Whether you’re crafting lifelike characters, designing immersive environments, or producing animated films, Smart Search accelerates the process without compromising creativity. By bridging the gap between concept and execution, Reallusion empowers creators to craft with unmatched efficiency and precision, transforming complex projects into seamless creative experiences.

By refining product listings, developers can increase engagement and sales directly within Reallusion’s platforms, ensuring their content reaches the right audience effortlessly and stands out from the competition.
