Art of Illusion

Art of Illusion is a free, open source 3D modelling and rendering studio. It is written entirely in Java, and should be usable on any Java Virtual Machine which is compatible with Java 5 or later. The current version is 3.0.3, released December 12, 2016. This version is both stable and powerful enough to be used for serious, high end animation work. Many of its capabilities rival those found in commercial programs.

Features:

• 3D modelling
• Keyframe animation

DAZ 3D

Unlike most 3D software, where 3D objects are usually created from scratch, DAZ Studio is designed to allow users to manipulate "ready to use" models and figures. It is aimed at users who are interested in posing human figures for illustrations and animation, but who may be daunted by more technical 3D and CAD software. It was created by DAZ Productions, the company that creates the built-in content for Poser 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 as a direct alternative to Poser.

Features:

• Posing
• 3d animation
• 3d renderer
• Keyframe animation
• Rendering with graphics card

Adobe Fuse CC

Adobe Fuse CC is a data-driven tool for modeling 3D characters. It was developed in collaboration between Mixamo and Vladlen Koltun's research group at Stanford University, with Siddhartha Chaudhuri as the chief architect and programmer, then bought by Adobe. With Fuse, Mixamo aims at democratizing character modeling and assembling, giving the user full control over the uniqueness of the character while keeping quality of the assets high.

Features:

• 3d animation
• 3D modelling

ManuelbastioniLAB

The aim of ManuelbastioniLAB is to bring you a set of advanced tools to turn your Blender in a powerful laboratory for realistic humanoid characters creation. This software is based on the 15 years experience gained during the realization of various 3d graphics projects and CG humans and collects new algorithms, prototypes and unpublished python scripts developed by Manuel Bastioni. Now a community driven project on github available for Blender till 2.79 and from 2.80

VRoid Studio

pixiv has released "VRoid Studio", a character maker that allows users to create, in easy steps, 3D model characters which can be used in various VR\AR platforms as well as the production 3DCG animation and games.

Features:

• Anime
• Android App
