Very happy to hear you enjoy the add-on, Jeff! The add-on should work in Blender v5, it was only on the storage page that it didn't show 5.0 as compatible, but we updated the add-on right after release of v5

Worth the price.
Perfect perfect perfect, spent a long time trying to learn modelling characters, fair to say it isn't my strong suit. This came in clutch for sure!!!!
Great!
this character creator has been a game changer for somebody like me! I'm just curious, is add-on still being consistently worked on, or are you working on an update for blender v5? I'm excited to see all of the things to come in the future!

Great addon! I read a few reviews that complain about how this broke when updating Blender versions, but I found these infos to be very visible, and not hard to understand. One specific rating mentioned that 9 days for an update is too long. I wholeheartedly disagree. Not only is that apt speed, but it is especially respectable considering you have indefinite perpetual access to this once bought.
What I particularly like about this addon is how customizable every step of the way really is. One suggestion I have is that, in the future, I would really love to see more styles of clothing and/or hairstyles. While I understand that this is not the main focus, as that appears to be skin settings, proportions, blend shapes, and scriptability, I still assume it couldn't be wrong to write this as a suggestion.
Amazing product, have recommended on several accounts.
The heads and hair are amazing! The shapekeys help alot but you still need to sculpt and add your own shapekeys but that's unavoidable and anyone that complains about that is simply lazy with unrealistic expectations.
The bodies however are not that great to put it mildly. They do not look good anatomically speaking and the topology does not allow customization due to the low poly count and the low detail topology which might be good for using the humans once they are done but not for the creation process which is the entire point of a character creator.
Even worse is that the creator decided to bake in the underwear which makes it impossible to use the humans generated with this addon for nude scenes or for adding a bikini / custom underwear. Not to mention 2D Clothing on a realistic character looks really bad and there really is no reason to do this in the first place.
I hope the creator fixes the bodies I would love to give this a 5 star rating once I can use this addon for more than generating heads.

Thanks for the review and feedback, George!
To address your concerns: The underwear is not baked in, you can turn it off in the skin menu. The bodies can be subdivded further for more sculpting. If you want to have even detail for both face and skin you can bake to the middle LOD, which equalises the density for both face and body. Send me a DM if you have any further questions!
I've been using this addon since it launched, and the value here is excellent. Getting a well-rigged character into a scene that is customizable is all you can ask for. Then on top of that, having the built-in ARkit functionality, rigify controls, and customizable shaders is really helpful. I do have a handful of extra assets to help push these characters to the next level, such as custom skin, third-party clothing and hair, and custom eyes, but everything out of the box works well and is more than enough for most users. And if you do have needs that exceed this addon's capabilities, then you can still use it to make a well-rigged character with shape keys to build off. It's the best of both worlds. I can't recommend HumanGen enough, I use it almost everyday.
This add-on has been an absolute game changer for me, I love it. As a concept artist I cannot overstate the value of being able to generate realistic humans right inside Blender, and at a fraction of the price that tools like Character Creator cost.
After Blender 4.4 update
I installed the updated add-on and created a character, but Blender crashes when I create a specific character.
I am truly impressed with the HumGen addon! The customization options for both body and face are exceptional, and the interface is intuitive and smooth. Rigify integration has been a huge help for my animation workflow, saving me a lot of time and effort. The level of detail is incredible, making it perfect for creating lifelike characters.
My only wish is for even more clothing options in future updates, especially more diverse and creative styles. That said, I love how the developers have included the ability to create 3rd party clothing packs—such a thoughtful feature. Thank you for this amazing tool!
