Get a character fast

No rig of your own? Start puppeting in one click.

Add Character panel
Pre-rigged head added
Ready to puppet

Why use it

You don't need to build or import a character before you can try puppeting. Bootstrap Character drops in a ready-to-go pre-rigged, pre-weighted, pre-mapped head, so you can jump straight to live or offline puppeting and worry about your own custom rig later.

Steps in Blender

  1. 1Open panel 4, "Add Character", in the Face Addon sidebar tab.
  2. 2Click Add Mesh + Rig (or Mesh Only / Rig Only if you only need one half).
  3. 3Skip straight to step 5 (Live) or step 4 (Video) below — this character is already mapped.
