Reallusion Character Creator

About this release

Character Creator solves the part of a production that eats the most time for the least visible reward: getting a believable, rigged, animatable human out of nothing. Faces, bodies and proportions are driven by sliders and morphs on a topology that stays clean, so a character that took a week of modelling can be built in an afternoon and still deform correctly when it moves.

The rig comes with the character rather than after it. The skeleton, facial blend shapes and skin weighting are generated as part of the model, so a finished character can be dropped straight into an animation tool and driven by motion capture or hand keys without a separate setup pass. Facial animation uses a standardised expression set that other applications understand.

Clothing and hair are treated as real assets. Garments fit to the body automatically as proportions change, physics simulation handles cloth and hair motion, and layered outfits resolve without the intersections that make manual fitting so slow. Materials use a physically based pipeline so a character looks consistent under different lighting.

Export is the reason studios adopt it. Characters leave in the common interchange formats with skeleton, weights and blend shapes intact, and the dedicated pipelines for the major real time engines and for the standard digital content creation applications carry materials across rather than leaving a texture reassignment job behind.

What it does

Slider driven characters

Face, body and proportion morphs on clean topology that keeps deforming correctly.

Rig included

Skeleton, skin weights and facial blend shapes are generated with the character.

Automatic clothing fit

Garments adapt as proportions change, with layered outfits resolving cleanly.

Cloth and hair physics

Simulation for garment and hair motion without hand animating secondary movement.

Physically based materials

Skin, fabric and hair shading that holds up under different lighting setups.

Engine and application pipelines

Export to the major real time engines and content creation tools with rig and materials intact.

Changed in this version

• Faster viewport on scenes with several fully clothed characters.
• Improved skin shading on close range renders.
• Cloth simulation handles layered garments with fewer intersections.
• Expanded base morph library for body types.
• Export pipeline updated for the current engine versions.

System requirements

Install order

1. Unpack the archive to a drive with room for the content library.
2. Run the installer and choose a content location separate from the system drive if possible.
3. Let the base content packs unpack before first launch.
4. Open the application once so the material and morph databases build.
