Empower Your Blender Character

DISCOVER A GROWING & COMPLEMENTARY WORKFLOW

Professional character animation is a highly challenging task not for any single Blender artist. Now, with Reallusion’s disruptive character pipeline, you don’t need to build everything from scratch. Instead you can start from a professionally-rigged character base, with all its inherited facial and body animation advantages, to creatively building on top.
