CharMorph is a character creation tool for Blender. It uses base meshes and morphs from ManuelbastioniLAB/MB-Lab while being designed for easy creation of new models and modification of existing ones.
This addon reimplements most of MB-Lab’s features, but it currently does not contain any MB-Lab code. It uses a different database format and other internal differences, as well as less hard coded features.
It is planned that CharMorph won’t be limited to humanoids. Animals and other creatures are welcome at CharMorph too.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Noticeably improved performance.
- Direct setting of skin and eyes color.
- Material displacement instead of displacement modifier. This means there will be no real displacement in EEVEE, but a nice live preview with bumps is available.
- In Cycles, the skin material is set to “Displacement and bump” by default.
Hairstyles. - Realtime asset fitting with combined masks.
- Rigify support with full face rig.
- Alternative topology feature for applying morphs to models with different topology.
- Characters are created at the 3D cursor’s location, not always at world origin.
- Implements most of the features of the discontinued MB-Lab.
