Human Generator review
A paid Blender add-on with deep human customization and animation controls.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Human Generator is a paid Blender add-on for creating customizable human characters. It is suited to artists and creators making images, animations, software, and video games who want adjustable bodies, faces, hairstyles, outfits, poses, expressions, rigs, and textures within Blender. Generated humans include a full character rig and are compatible with Rigify, while the add-on also supports ARKit facial animation workflows using a FaceID-compatible iPhone.
Pricing is split between two one-time licenses. The Personal/Portfolio license costs $68 and includes all features and content, 8K textures, and use for personal, educational, YouTube, and Vimeo projects. The Commercial license costs $128 and includes all features and content, 8K textures, and use for commercial renders and animations, software, and video games. This makes the product a relatively direct purchase for individual creators, with the main licensing decision determined by how the resulting work will be used.
Its strongest area is the depth of the character-generation toolkit. More than 100 body and face adjustments are joined by a particle hairstyle library, customizable outfits and shoes, a pose library, one-click expressions, and a face rig with more than 30 controls. Batch human generation, level-of-detail generation, automated texture baking, human export, and a Python API extend it beyond manual character editing. The trade-off is its narrow focus: creators seeking human characters inside Blender should find the feature set well aligned, while projects needing broader avatar styles or a tool outside the Blender workflow should choose an alternative.
