General Features
Select the body parts that your character will consist of. You have over 500 parts to select from, and you can easily combine them by selecting from the drop down menus or stepping through them using the arrow buttons.
Everything you do will immediately be shown in real-time in the OpenGL window. The characters created will be seamless to make it easy to animate them later on.
Create unique characters quickly using the random creature options.
Select preference settings such as drawing colors, paths, and mouse handling.
Tweak and fine-tune your characters to make them exactly how you want them. When you select the part of the body you want to edit, it will be highlighted with a wireframe and you can then use the sliders to deform and modify it to fit your purposes and the look you are after.
