From Gamasutra:

3D character model and avatar tool developer Evolver [from Montreal’s Darwin Dimensions] said Thursday that its service will be integrated into game engine provider Emergent’s Gamebryo LightSpeed development system.

"Our partnership with Emergent provides LightSpeed developers with an easy way to integrate custom 3D characters into their latest projects at a fraction of the production time, effort and costs of traditional modeling and rigging methods," said Brian Nilles, Evolver CEO.

Evolver’s system is a web-based application that allows users to design and customize 3D models. Users choose from a library of facial and body characteristics from Evolver’s website, or they can use a photograph. They can then export the avatar.
