LA Tech Week meets the Unreal LA Community and we're building a whole cast of characters — literally.

CG Pro and Fermata are teaming up with Machine Cinema, and we're bringing together filmmakers, game designers, AI makers and character-obsessed creators for one wild build event: design an original character (personality, look, animation, the whole vibe) using a lineup of tools we're bringing in to help you build, including Unreal Engine and AI agents.

Then? Your character gets dropped into a shared simulated world inside Unreal Engine  — think Love Island, but every contestant is AI-driven, completely autonomous, remembers what everyone said and can talk back to you. No scripts. No puppeteering. Just your creation, out there, competing for airtime.

What you'll do:

🎭 Build a character with real emotions

🛠️ Learn how to create & dress stylized MetaHumans in Unreal 5.8

👘 Discover new 3D workflows using Tripo AI x Unreal Engine

🏝️ Release your character into the Villa and watch the drama unfold

Come with a team, come solo, come with just a character concept — you'll leave with a cast member in a living, breathing show.

This event is a part of #LATechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
