Why use it

Not every test needs your own custom rig. Bootstrap Character instantly adds a pre-rigged, pre-weighted, pre-mapped default head (derived from Blender Studio's CC0 Human Base Meshes Bundle) so you can start puppeting immediately, or use it as a reference while building your own character.

Steps in Blender

  1. 1Open panel 4, "Add Character", in the Face Addon sidebar tab.
  2. 2Click Add Mesh + Rig for the full pre-rigged head, or Mesh Only / Rig Only if you only need one half.
  3. 3The character drops in already mapped — skip straight to the Live panel (step 5) or Video panel (step 4) to start puppeting.
