Instant Dialogue Character Asset

ID Character assets have three major functions​

  • They keep voice profile, name and character avatar together, so when editing a dialogue you don't have to repeat yourself - just pick the ID Character asset from short list.
  • Work as a connectors between dialogues and MetaHuman Blueprints (or in general the Actors), so dialogue controller can map between these to and make sure the correct actor would say the correct line
  • Keep the narrative context of the game - in description property you can put a short bio.

  • Default voice: An ElevenLabs voice profile:​

    • Model ID - usually Eleven V3 would be the best
    • Voice ID - pick one from the list, but for key characters like Player, Villain, Side Kick NPC it's recommended to go to ElevenLabs and find or create the best voice that fits the role.
    • Stability - (for model Eleven V3) must be 0, 0.5 or 1.
    • Similarity Boost (for model Eleven V3) must be 0, 0.5 or 1.
    • Style: pls check the ElevenLabs docs
    • Use Speaker Boost: pls check the ElevenLabs docs

  • Voice Volume Multiplier - Some voices are louder than other, so we exposed this parameter to equalize the loudness​

  • Is Player: a bool variable which implies how the branching in the dialogue would be resolved.​
