Reblium lets you build highly detailed characters by combining procedural generation, customization tools, and a robust library of assets. The software provides various textures, outfits, and morphs for characters, allowing Artists to generate assets faster.
Procedural Character Creation
The core of Reblium is its procedural system, which offers a semi-automated approach to generating characters. This reduces time on manual modeling and sculpting. Artists can tweak and customize procedural elements, with options to adjust proportions, facial features, and clothing.
While procedural workflows can be a time saver, users should ensure the generated characters fit their specific project needs. Reblium promises flexibility, but a manual fine-tuning phase might be needed to meet high-detail requirements.
Asset Library and Customization
Reblium comes equipped with a built-in asset library that includes a wide variety of outfits, accessories, and textures. The library is designed to speed up the character-building process by offering ready-made components. Artists can modify these assets to create custom characters or use them as-is. All assets can be adjusted for size, texture, and overall appearance. The blend between pre-built and customizable assets offers a balance of control and efficiency.
Documentation for Reblium outlines the process for working with the asset library, and Artists can follow guidelines to extend these resources with custom models.
Morphs and Rigging Tools
Reblium includes advanced morphs for character rigging, enabling Artists to create complex facial animations and dynamic character movements. The software automatically adjusts rigging based on the morphs applied, ensuring character animations remain consistent across different body types and styles.
While this automation can help with production speed, the results should be checked carefully. If specific rigging or animation setups are required, some manual adjustments may be necessary.
Export and Compatibility
Reblium supports multiple export formats, including FBX and OBJ, making it compatible with various software in your pipeline. Artists can bring their characters into most 3D modeling and animation tools, such as Maya, Blender, or Unreal Engine, without major issues.
The export functionality is straightforward, though compatibility with some custom rigs and animation workflows should be verified before large-scale implementation.
Licensing and Pricing
Reblium offers a permament license for 99$, and there should be upgrade bonuses if the next version comes out. Before deciding, consider how often you’ll need character generation and whether the features justify the investment. Pricing details can be found on the official website.
Final Thoughts
Reblium offers a powerful set of tools for creating 3D characters, with a focus on procedural generation and customization. It’s a solid option for Artists looking to speed up their character development workflow. However, the procedural nature may require fine-tuning, especially for projects with specific character requirements. As always, new software should be tested before integrating it into a production pipeline.
