What Human Generator is
Human Generator is a Blender add-on for creating realistic human characters on macOS and Windows. Users choose a starting human and adjust body and facial details through more than 100 controls. One-click particle hairstyles, customizable outfits, shoes, poses, and expressions are included. Characters can use a full rig, while the face rig provides more than 30 controls; documentation describes a FACS-based setup with 52 shape keys. Apple ARKit and a FaceID-equipped iPhone can transfer facial animation through a third-party capture app. Generated humans are rigged for Rigify, and textures range from 512px and 1024px to 4K and 8K. Automatic baking prepares textures for export. The V4 Python API can create and edit humans and control batch generation, but remains in development. Lifetime licenses cost 68.00 USD or 128.00 USD once.
