Free Characters for Blender

There are several free characters for blender available for download. Most are published under the creative commans licensing agreement . Which means that anybody can use them for just about anything as long as you give credit where credit is due, but not for commercial purposes. Here is a snapshot af a character that I created from scratch.

Free Characters for Blender

When I first started learning Blender, It took me a long time to make my first humanoid character. I started with a single plane and extruded it over and over again to build what I wanted. Grabing and pulling vertices to make things look okay. Then there was colors and textures to apply to the mesh. After everything looks good it is time to start rigging the character with virtual bones called armatures. After weight painting and testing it was finally time to make the character move and bring it to life.
There were no available models already made, that you could download. But now there are. E2 Productions lists quite a few on their web site. They are free to download and many are already rigged for movement. Kator Legaz has some too. There are other ones too, if you can find them.

Also I have a few characters that I have created. If you want to, I will send the blend files to you so that you can have them for your collection. Just email me at bobbertt@cheerful.com. and tell me what you want.
