Create a photoreal roster of patients for ECPI University's nursing edutainment learning modules, focusing on developing soft skills through lifelike human interactions. Utilizing Character Creator 4 and iClone, we aimed to produce realistic human animations to enhance the educational experience. Patient Descriptions 1.
