Hair tech, and skin is advancing although it's still a long time before we see this kind of look even in AAA games. Texturing is actually very limited, even just to achieve the eyebrows with a texture would take hours of work.

These models are so static that using them in game engine as is would be near impossible, making game ready models from these would be so much a pain that if you hired a artist to do it they would use the model as nothing more than reference.Ī lot of how good these models look is because of the skin and hairs, they won't look anything near that in a game. I hear animators and 3D artist across the world cry in despair. High poly, high quality, but not textured. There is one high quality female base mesh out there, you can find it on most of the sites. Unfortunately, they are posed, so not suitable for rigging. Don't know what human_maker is, but the meshes are quite nice. I've noticed a lot of older high quality posed meshes on places like CG Trader and 3D archive, with human_maker in the filename. Here's some Bastioni output: Blender plugin - just a 40 meg download.Īnother possibility. Zbrush and Mudbox - plus the 'usual suspects'. Here's an interesting thread i found on the subject of software to make human 3d models. It says it has that capability, and 'Also it provides a library for the anime 'shojo' characters, in classic or modern style'.

Is there anything like this but for anime characters? Of course, what we want is something that can generate stuff like this: What about Mixamo? Hows that work? You buy the models and the animations are free? or vica versa?

Looks like Daz, Poser, Make Human, and Bastioni are about it. I'm going to download it and check it out before i checkout Daz. Appears to be Python scripts for Blender. Mesh morphing, decent base meshes, open source. Ok, Manuel Bationi Lab looks like it has promise:
