WHY BLOCKY ANIME CHARACTER CREATOR

• A real Humanoid rig. Arms and legs bend at the elbows and knees, so Mixamo and any Humanoid animation retarget as is.
• Anime faces that come alive. 23 hand-drawn 8×8 eye styles, 10 expressions and automatic blinking.
• Real 3D voxel accessories. Ponytails, twin tails, hats, ears, horns, wings and tails stand out from the body.
• Ready for players. A complete in-game creator screen with undo, save slots and share codes. Drop it into a scene and it works.
• Light enough for crowds. One 128×128 texture and one material per character, 224 to 3,468 triangles (median 792).

354 PARTS THAT MIX AND MATCH

• Faces and hair: 23 eye styles, 42 hair styles, 18 voxel hair extras (ponytails, buns, ahoge), 17 hair ornaments, 5 beards, 8 face marks
• Clothing: 16 tops, 16 bottoms, 35 dresses and costumes, 18 outerwear, 10 neckwear, 8 gloves, 9 legwear, 16 shoes
• Headgear: 25 hats, 8 animal ears, 6 horns, 7 glasses and masks

• 46 props: swords, bows, staffs, guns, tools, food and instruments, held in either hand, on the back or at the hip
• Two bodies: slim and classic, with bending joints or classic one-piece limbs
• Smart rules: dresses replace tops and bottoms and voxel accessories never collide, so every random roll looks right
