I highly recommend this. I am basing my decision as a modeler who uses Modo and Zbrush as well as various other modeling and painting software. The models are a good base with a flexible dial adjustments for a more unique look. It is great to start off with for sculpting a basic humaniod form. No problems and very little adjustments needed in bringing it to Modo or Zbrush or any other modeling software. Polycount is fairly high but has a well design topo and good quality for the next generation gaming. Mixamo did a great job with each release of this product adding more content as well as a lower poly count TF2 characters and Cartoon Characters. I normally choose to keep my model for export from Modo into Unity, but you can bring it back into Fuse and it will seperate it into parts for Assembly. Once you reasemble your character you can send it over to Mixamo which provides 2 free rigs per week which is usually enough. In Mixamo they have a few free animation including a free Basic Locomotion Pack which is generally used for a Character Controller in Unity and from Mixamo to Unity is an easy export via FBX. Update 2015 April 10th, it also has a nice Substance material for the skin which is highly flexible and adjustable. Also I notice another free update for Brutes which looks very nice. Update UNLIMITED Free Fuse Auto-Rigs Here is a sample of what I did. http://www.artstation.com/artwork/october-fuse-7k-poly-game-model-test And another sample I am currently working on http://community.thefoundry.co.uk/discussion/topic.aspx?f=9&t=95181

So is Fuse free now? What did I pay for when I bought the base software for 50 Dollars? Just asking, since I really enjoy the program but if its free now does that mean the program was a waste of the money I spent on it? I still recommend it though since it's basically free, I am just kind of shocked that I spent 50 Dollars on a free product... What did I pay for!?!?

Fuse is easy to use and work about the same way as the Sims character creator. It gives you a lot of different bodies and parts to work with in order to create new characters. The reason so many people review this software as a negative product is the fact that it used to cost money to download your characters after they have been riged. Early 2015 mixamo made rigging free, so it's not a problem anymore :) The only thing they should improve are more hair, shirts, pants and other miscs. They also offer a easy way to export models in to sfm or gmod, without using any of the modeling programs like blender or maya, for creators not so familiar with those programs, like myself.

an artist review: as someone who knows bare-minimum to 3D creation, the interface is pretty user friendly. I was able to learn pretty quickly how to use the program. I purchased it with hopes to have a solid 3D reference for my own characters faces. Customization works well enough, though I do wish I had more liberty/ freedom to push the facial features further and make them more unique and personal. The customization seems to be on the level as Sims/ Dragon Age: Inquisition in that regard. One other thing i'd like to see is In the beginning stages of developing the character is options available for skin color/ complexion readily available. But, I can see that this is a program to quickly create stock characters, which is fine. There's still quite a bit to explore and learn from this program, so I will have to mess around with a lot more of the features and update the review. overall for an artist like myself, it is an excellent resource to have a model that you can move at any angle for drawing reference.

I've been exploring FUSE a lot as a source for characters for a UE4 game I'm trying to develop. I had a month of the "indie pack" (not on steam, but through their subscription) and successfully got a FUSE character moving around in the UE4 environment. FUSE is unique in that it's essentially middleware that's trying to do the jobs of 5 people in a team that usually consists of 10, so it won't be able to do everything, and doesn't claim to. It'll be able to make awesome looking characters that are rigged for very cheap, and on their site, there are animations you can buy. Or, because the characters are rigged, you can animate them on their own. Will FUSE characters be able to immediately drop into (name of program)? Probably not. They might need some coaxing. You might have to get really into (said program) and learn what it is that makes it work... but this is a good thing. For UE4, a hang up was on the skeleton and the material quality. For months, I was going on their forums and freaking out about how a UE4 skeleton download option would be great, or how sometimes the materials didn't come through looking the best - because UE4 didn't naturally know how to handle some of the FUSE character's files. Well, after months of awesome awesome customer support on thier forums - they came through with that skeleton. Plus, not that it's their job to fix things in a totally different program for me, but they're planning an update for the UE4 materials. I'm a believer. These guys are keeping pace with the bigger game engines and are inching closer and closer to that "dream product" you want it to be. They've bitten off a lot, but they're delivering, and i'm very excited to see where this goes - and to use it in my game.This is a tool, and an awesome one, but just don't expect it to go ahead and make your game for you! That's your job!
