Customisable Basemesh Addon
The Customisable Basemeshes v2.1 lets you design characters the same way you would in a video game character creator.
The characters come 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, overlays, 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, it knows which character you’re working on and will change the proportions, features and materials for the models independently.
80+ Body + Face Controls
The Basemeshes now has a total of over 80 different customisatoin options allowing you to create an even wider range of characters.
Male + Female Compatibility
The Male Basemesh is a heavily modified version of the Female Basemesh, so all of the materials, presets and settings will work for BOTH versions. For more information, check out the Female Basemesh documentation video as that explains everything in detail.
No Retopology Needed
The Basemeshes are already set up with nice topology, so you won’t need to retopologise, you can jump straight into character creation.
No UV Unwrapping
The models are already fully UV Unwrapped, so you can use some of the pre-made skin textures or make your own custom ones.
Custom Addon
Included with v2.1 is a custom addon that gives you menus to customise the character. The addon has been improved quite a bit with tons of new features added to allow you to create a wide range of characters.
Custom Eyes
You can now have two completely separate eye designs. 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.
Overlay Textures
In v2.1 I've 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
V2.1 of the Basemeshes were made for the current version of Blender 5.0, so that’s the version that will be the most compatible, but they 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 they will work in.
New and Improved Documentation
There's so many new things and new ways to use the Customisable Basemeshes that I've broken down EVERYTHING into bite sized chunks on my website.
It walks you through everything from setting up your Blender file, how to use the rig/sliders, and other tips and tricks to make the basemesh as useful as possible!
