A couple of weeks ago, I wrote some fan fiction for Cyberpunk 2077 and tried to visualize 3 of the characters involved in the story. I tried to create them using the game's limited character creation. They're a bit younger visually than I had written them. Maybe I'll try MetaHumans, but that I find confusing.

Nomad Male V. I was thinking he'd be the leader of the 3. Specializing in Assault weapons, machine guns mostly. His aim isn't all that great. Purely by accident, I think I created Jim Jefferies. He can spin some great stories.

In my previous post above, I tried using the built in character creation in Cyberpunk to sketch out three characters I wrote in some fan fiction a few weeks ago. I tried recreating them in Metahumans and Character Creator 3. I'm posting the results below. CC3 is a render. The metahuman is just a screen grab from the creation page. I'm still trying to figure out Unreal engine with limited success. My ambition is to recreate a small action sequence from the story with these 3 and a few other characters. No cyber-ware at this point on the recreations. I've given them names in the same way that CDPR gives names to NPCs in the game (as an Easter Egg, of course
... Yes, they do have a favorite bar they frequent. Carla doesn't work there anymore. She found the gigs she and her team do a lot more rewarding)
Carla (This character was the closest to what I saw in my mind and is similar across all 3 platforms. I like the CC3 creation the best, but the Metahuman is probably the most realistic)
Cliff (CC3 and Metahuman diverged the most from the original Cyberpunk creation. They all resemble someone famous, at least the 2 at either end do. It must be a subconscious thing I do when creating these characters.)
Normand (None are the same, lol. Not even close. The Metahuman looks like a famous actor too.
)
If you're thinking that the recreations are all aged from the original, that's intentional. They're supposed to be aged veteran mercs that take and do gigs together. The Cyberpunk Character Creation is mainly to create your character, V, who's around 27 years of age. All the characters that I wrote are in their early to late 40s...
