Professional character animation is a highly challenging task not for any single Blender artist. Now, with Reallusion’s disruptive character pipeline, you don’t need to build everything from scratch. Instead you can start from a professionally-rigged character base, with all its inherited facial and body animation advantages, to creatively building on top.
CC3 Base+ has evenly-distributed quad surfaces and perfect edge-loops which allow for smooth facial expressions and body animations, for users to use the character base for further sculpting in Blender. Know More about CC3 Base+
Blender character designers can easily load a character from Character Creator to use with Blender sculpt tools to freely change looks, and later update the changes right back to Character Creator as a new morph (shape). Tutorial
A great collection of the best character assets can be found in the Reallusion Content Store, click-and-apply them for immediate professional looking results.
