MetaTailor 2.0, the latest version of the procedural character generator, has been released with several updates aimed at improving workflow integration and customization options for artists. The tool is designed to create fully rigged, customizable characters for various CG production pipelines, with a particular focus on film, animation, and video games.
Blender Plugin and Pipeline Integration
One of the significant updates in version 2.0 is a dedicated Blender plugin. With this integration, users can now export and modify characters directly in Blender without needing to switch between different tools, simplifying workflows. This update makes MetaTailor a more flexible choice for artists already relying on Blender as their main 3D tool.
Improved Workflow Customization
MetaTailor 2.0 also offers a higher degree of customization in character generation. Artists can now adjust character properties such as body shape, clothing, and skin textures in more detail. These features give users more control over final character designs, which is essential in VFX and animation projects that require tailored character models to match specific artistic needs.
Enhanced Support for CG Pipelines
The updated MetaTailor tool also enhances support for CG production pipelines. The generated characters come fully rigged, making it easier to integrate them into existing animation workflows without additional setup time. This is particularly useful for larger studios and indie game developers looking to streamline production while maintaining flexibility.
Pricing and Availability
MetaTailor 2.0 is available as a subscription service starting at $15 per month. The free license allows 10 FBX-exports per month – depending on your need, that might be enough. Or for trying it out!
Also new is a library of (Testable) rigged clothing, that can be easily dropped onto your character – so, you can scour the marketplace, see if the thing you found works with your character, and then buy it.
Fact-Check Before Use
As with any tool, MetaTailor 2.0’s new features should be tested thoroughly before being deployed in active projects to avoid unforeseen compatibility issues in production pipelines.
