Introducing make me™ — The Most Versatile Character Creator Ever Made

The Stephanie Michaels Software Company is proud to announce the upcoming launch of make me, a revolutionary new character creator software built for professional artists, animators, and VFX studios.

Unlike other tools such as Metahuman and CC4, make me offers unparalleled creative freedom. Designed for a professional audience, make me empowers users to create not just realistic humans, but entirely new forms of characters — including non-human, mythical, hybrid, and fantastical beings.

Want to create a half-human, half-horse? An angel or a demon? A mortal combat fighter with six arms? A whimsical toy-turned-character like “Forky” from Toy Story 4? With make me, anything is possible. Users can easily design characters with any combination of limbs, eyes, and features — from a human with one leg, to a creature with three eyes and wings.

“make me is the most versatile character creator ever made,” said Stephanie Michaels, Founder and CEO of The Stephanie Michaels Software Company. “Our goal is simple: if you can imagine it, you can make it.”

Stay tuned — make me is coming soon.

Everyone Uses It.

A prophetic look at Univah Pro™ — the tool built for the young and old, creators and dreamers, professionals and everyday people alike.

The Prophecy of Univah™: A Tool Built for Everyone

The Stephanie Michaels Software Company is making a bold declaration about Univah Pro: Everyone uses it.

For now, the company acknowledges that very few people know about their groundbreaking software. Exposure is limited, and the world has not yet fully seen what they’ve built. But the team behind Univah Pro speaks with conviction — once people discover it, they believe users everywhere will be glad it exists.

“Univah Pro was built for everyone,” said Stephanie Iketuonye Michaels, founder of Univah. “Not just 3D artists. Not just highly technical professionals. Everyone.”

Designed with inclusivity in mind, Univah Pro bridges generations of creators. It isn’t so modern that older 3D artists find it difficult to learn, nor is it so limited that younger creators feel boxed in. Instead, it was developed with the belief that every person deserves a tool that feels welcoming, powerful, and natural.

Univah Pro is more than just software — it is a universal tool, functioning as an extension of what users already know. It can be used to:

• Watch movies
• Play music videos
• Jot down notes
• Make 3D renders
• Render feature films
• Create motion graphics
• Run visual effects and physics simulations
• View photos

“Whatever you do, do it in Univah — everything, real-time,” Michaels explained.

That belief is why Univah Pro confidently declares: Everyone uses it.

Even if that reality is not yet, the company views it as inevitable. The time is coming, they say, when Univah Pro will become the tool of choice for people of every age, background, and discipline.

“This isn’t just marketing — it’s prophecy,” Michaels said. “It’s vision. We’re calling those things that are not, as though they were. Univah Pro was made for everyone. And one day soon, everyone will use it.”

TEXAS Tech Startup Solves Billion-Dollar Film Industry Problem (Real-Time Rendering Breakthrough)

Univah Pro™ achieves real-time multi-resolution rendering that eliminates the need for traditional render farms and dramatically reduces production time and costs for studios worldwide.

Stephanie Michaels Software Company, an independent Texas-based technology startup, has announced a breakthrough in real-time 3D rendering that has the potential to transform the industry. The company’s new rendering engine, Univah Pro™, delivers multi-K (4K, 6K, 8K) final-quality images directly in the viewport at ultra-high frame rates, eliminating the need for expensive and time-consuming render farms.

For decades, 3D and visual effects studios have relied on offline rendering pipelines requiring massive hardware infrastructure, hours—or even days—of waiting, and large production budgets. Univah Pro™ removes this bottleneck entirely.

“The Univah Film Engine was built because artists should have 21st and 22nd-century speed, freedom, and the ability to see their work finished instantly,” said Stephanie Iketuonye Michaels, creator of Univah Pro™. “We wanted to move beyond the 1990s era of node graphs, caching, and plugins. High-end rendering should be as fast and intuitive as editing a video. In this age of generative AI, legacy DCC tools that rely on complex node graph setups are becoming obsolete. Univah is not AI—it was developed from scratch for CG artists who want better than AI.”

Univah Pro™ allows artists to:

• Render photorealistic results instantly in the viewport
• Output 4K, 6K, 8K, and higher without long render times
• Move from concept to final output in a fraction of the time
• Reduce hardware requirements and production overhead
• Work interactively without proxying, baking, or scene optimization

Early tests and public demos have already drawn attention from VFX artists, animators, and 3D professionals who initially assumed the images were offline renders—only to discover they were seeing real-time output running at over 100 FPS.

The breakthrough comes as studios and content creators seek faster, more scalable workflows to meet modern production schedules and budgets. Univah Pro™ demonstrates that real-time rendering is no longer a future concept, but a practical and usable solution for high-end filmmaking, motion graphics, visualization, and animation today.

Univah is in active development with the complete feature set rolling out in the Pro version, including procedural systems, material tools, deformers, and a unified workflow designed to replace multiple legacy software packages.
