NICE! Can’t wait to see what else you have in store.

Looking really good!

Hi Manuel,
Thank you for this excellent addon.
I’m planning to make a comic/graphic novel using Blender and rigged characters. Currently, I do a proof of concept for the basic workflow, including your tool:

  • build a set of base meshes for characters (your addon), hair and clothes
  • create specific characters using the morph and proxy tools (separate file per character)
  • finalize the characters
  • rig each character, currently testing Rigify
  • link the characters to a scene file, pose, render
  • assemble 2D pictures to comic pages
    Your tool works very well. I’m not yet happy with Rigify and will look at Blenrig5.
    Here is an early test picture for the workflow:


Keep up the good work. I’m looking forward to your next lab version.

The WIP for characters of vers 1.5
There are many improvements in modelling, textures and shaders. More images in the gallery: http://www.manuelbastioni.com/gallery.php


Thank you!

Really impressive work Manuel! Are you looking for feedback, or just posting? You have a team or something or just you alone? it seems a big work what you do.

Thank you.
The main purpose of this thread is to inform the community about the progress of the artistic side of the development, anyway constructive feedback is appreciated.
I’m working alone.

I thought the results with version 1.4 were great but this is mind boggling. Thank you.

Thank you. Here is another update:



The new Asian female prototype-


Another update with the special character developed to test the new features of my lab.

WOW! This is really coming along nicely. I can’t wait for the next version.
