Epic’s Unreal Engine 3 gets Morpheme integration

NaturalMotion and Epic Games have announced a licensing agreement to incorporate the former’s animation engine Morpheme into Unreal Engine 3.

The agreement sees NaturalMotion join Epic’s Integrated Partners Program and its technology will be immediately available to any publishers or developers licensing UE3.

‘Unreal Engine 3 is already an inspired game design platform, offering much of the bleeding edge technology developers need," said Torsten Reil, CEO of NaturalMotion.

"By adding morpheme to Epic’s suite, more studios will be able to take advantage of NaturalMotion’s pioneering animation technology, allowing for a whole new generation of games with astonishingly realistic characters and animations."
