Customisable Female Basemesh v2.1 lets you design characters the same way you would in a video game character creator.

The character comes fully rigged using Blender’s Rigify system, so you can pose, animate, and render immediately.

Using the addon’s sliders, you can adjust body proportions, facial features, and overall silhouette, as well as control height and head scale. You can also customise skin, eyes, eyebrows, makeup, and clothing.

If you want fast results, you can use the built-in presets or randomise individual sections of the character. This makes it easy to explore ideas, lock in proportions you like, and refine specific areas.

The addon also supports multiple characters in the same scene, the addon knows which character you’re working on and will change the proportions, features and materials for the models independently.

New in Version 2.0

More Face and Body controls

The Basemesh now haS a total of over 80 different customisatoin options allowing you to create an even wider range of characters. (Male character shown below but all settings apply to the female model)

Male + Female Compatibility

The Female Basemesh now has a number of new textures and these are all cross compatible with the Male version of the Basemesh, so all of the materials, presets and settings will work for BOTH versions.

No Retopology Needed

The Female Basemesh is already set up with nice topology, so you won’t need to retopologise, you can jump straight into character creation.

No UV Unwrapping

The model is already fully UV Unwrapped, so you can use some of the pre-made skin textures or make your own custom ones.

Presets

I‘ve included 8 preset character styles that can let you create different characters very easily. These range from neutral, generic designs to styles inspired by Disney and Pixar, giving you a quick starting point for different character types.

Custom Addon

Included with v2.0 is a custom addon that gives you menus to customise the character. This allows you to easily change your character’s body, face or materials incredibly quickly.

Improved textures

All of the textures have been improved and are higher resolution. The textures have been divided up into a Face texture and Body texture to allow for higher resolution texture maps.

Clothes Textures

There are 5 clothing options to choose from which can help when designing different characters because sometimes different clothes can spark an idea.

Custom Eyes

You can customise each aspect of the eyes, you can change the colour of the Sclera, Iris and Pupil separately and enable/disable the different parts to create unique eye designs.

Skin Textures

You can now change the colour of the character’s skin very easily. There are 4 main skins, Caucasian, Black and then realistic versions of both. You can also choose Coloured skin to choose whatever colour you would like.

Overlay Textures

In v2.1 Ive added Overlays which allow you to add freckles, scars, tattoos, makeup and facial hair. You can also create your own custom textures, the details are in the documentation video

Version Compatibility

V2.0 of the Customistable Female Basemesh was made for the current version of Blender 5.0, so that’s the version that will be the most compatible, but it has been tested with all of these different versions of Blender, so have a look at the list below or the infographic to see what versions of Blender it will work in.
