Character creation tools like MakeHuman?

Postby whang » Fri Oct 20, 2023 10:07 am

Making a game that will have several human npc characters and looking for tools that can help me make them.

I quite like MakeHuman, but wanted to ask if anyone knew of any other ones?

Preferably free, also keen to hear about any low poly character creation tools as well.

From the classics:
  • DAZ.
  • MetaHuman (free).

From the not so famous

But almost everything is paid.

What engine do you use?

I have plans to make a free MakeHuman based character generator for Godot. But it's probably not going to be fast.

Outside MPFB (http://static.makehumancommunity.org/mpfb.html) which is conceptually MakeHuman too, the only other open source program I know of is MBL (https://mb-lab-community.github.io/MB-Lab.github.io/), but it seems abandoned since several years back.

MetaHuman is free of charge, but is proprietary.

There is related software too, such as facegen (https://facegen.com/), which models part of the body.

Oh, yeah! How could I forget? It's kind of like an alternate evolution of MH. I'll add to the general list to keep them all together.

Unfortunately, this thread seems to have been abandoned.
