30x Low Poly Character Pack

LOW POLY DUMMY POSEABLE CHARACTER SET - 30 PACK

What is this?

These are a set of 21 low poly characters for posing, blocking, and layout. There are no rigs or skinned meshes. Everything is FK parented, so hand is parented to arm, arm to chest, chest to torso (which acts as the root). This makes it possible to have a lot of quickly poseable characters in a scene. 

What can I do with these dummies anyway?

These are great for blocking, poses for paint-overs, generating big crowds with basic animation. Drop them in your environment model to check for scale. Quickly pose them out to test and refine your vehicle ergonomics. These guys are also great for blocking scenes and figuring out layout.

What else can I do with these dummies?

Out of the box they are just simple solid color shaders, but add a planar uv projection and start aligning to photos of people, and these can turn into fairly believable background and crowd characters fairly quickly! 

Is that all?

NO! Upload to Mixamo! OR download a walk or run cycle skeleton, constrain (yes, constrain) each piece to the nearest bone, bake keys, then delete the constraints and skeleton  and BOOM. You’ve got a low res walk, run, attack cycle. Duplicate and offset the anim a few times, and you’ve got a running crowd, change colors or uv projections and you’ve got a big crowd! 

Can I use these for high res, photorealistic close-ups? 

No. 

Can I use these as a base mesh?

Nooooo. I mean, maybe? No, definitely no.

What’s included?

30 Low polygon characters. In maya ascii and fbx formats. Blender formats coming soon. 

What's next?

You tell me! Are these useful? What would make these more useful?
