Reallusion Character Creator

Overview

Building a believable human from scratch in a general modelling package is a long job that ends in a rig, a skin weight pass and a texture set before any animation happens. Character Creator collapses that into a parametric system: you sculpt from a base that is already rigged, already weighted and already carrying a facial animation setup, and every change you make preserves all of it.

Morphing runs on both a body and a face level. Sliders cover proportions, musculature, weight, age and ethnicity at a whole body scale, and the face has its own hierarchy down to individual features that can be pushed by hand or driven from a reference. Custom morphs can be sculpted externally and brought back in as new sliders, which is how studios build a house style that every character then inherits.

The skin and material system is physically based with a dedicated skin shader carrying subsurface scattering, micro normal detail, wrinkle maps that fire with expression, and separate layers for makeup, tattoos, scarring and blemishes. Hair, eyes and teeth have their own material handling, and clothing is fitted to the body automatically with conforming that follows morph changes rather than needing a refit each time.

Everything is built to leave. Export goes to the common game engines and animation packages with the rig, blend shapes and materials intact, LOD generation reduces a hero mesh into game ready tiers, and motion can be applied from libraries, from motion capture data or from a facial performance capture pass. For a small team, the practical result is a full cast in the time a single character used to take.

Key Features

• Parametric body and face morphing on a rig that survives every change
• Full facial animation setup with blend shapes included on every character
• Physically based skin shader with subsurface scattering, micro detail and wrinkle maps
• Layered appearance system for makeup, tattoos, scarring and blemishes
• Automatic clothing fit with conforming that follows morph changes
• Hair, eye and teeth systems with dedicated material handling
• Custom morph import so a studio style can be built and reused
• Level of detail generation for game ready mesh tiers
• Motion library, motion capture retargeting and facial performance capture
• Export to the common game engines and animation packages with rig and materials intact

What Changed in This Build

• Improved skin shading with better response under low light
• Faster clothing conform on characters with extreme proportion changes
• Expanded starter content across bodies, outfits and hair
• More reliable rig export into the current game engine versions

Installation Notes

• Install the bundled content library during setup, fetching packs individually afterwards takes considerably longer.
• Decide your target engine before exporting, the rig and material presets differ per destination and switching means re exporting.
• Keep custom morphs in their own folder so an upgrade does not mix them with the shipped set.

Before You Start

Read the notes above before running setup. Most of the problems people write in about are covered there, and almost all of them come down to an older version of the same software still being installed, a graphics driver that predates the release, or a security suite quarantining part of the package mid install.

There is no archive password on this or any other entry in the library. If something you downloaded elsewhere claims to come from here and asks for one, it did not come from here. Nothing on this site is behind a survey, a shortener or a countdown either.

If the entry does not match what the page describes, say so on the contact page and include the version string from the release details table. Reports naming a specific version get checked first because the checker can reproduce them straight away.
