Reblium - A Powerful New Character Creator

Reblium is a powerful new character creation software like Character Creator or MetaHumans, which like MetaHumans is also powered by Unreal Engine. Reblium just recently entered beta for Windows PCs. It is early and there are certainly missing features and some jank to iron out, but its got a lot of potential.

Says "I'm not making a monster", makes a literal vampire.

[@alian9216]

if i see it in a horror game i wouldn't be surprised lol

[@Jokokojo-s5p]

how can i run it on 1660 super ? can you make a tuturial ?

[@acarria]

The "male" as you read it, actually does say "Mole" xP just an odd font choice for it so can see how you read it as that but yes it does indeed say Mole.

[@gamefromscratch]

Haha oops, but that's hilarious

[@Valo_iO]

LOL

[@DougieBoy]

I was laughing hard at this, not even full screen I noticed that said "Mole", not male. LMAO

[@Jade-Cat]

To be fair I'm pretty sure that slider just says "Mole" not "Male"

[@gamefromscratch]

Lol yeah, I'm an idiot :)

Guaca...male? 😂

[@Kinos141]

Tried it and it's not well optimized. There is no reason it chugs so much power from my machine when I can play Hellblade 2 with no issues. Needs better optimization.

[@NorthstriderGaming]

Yeah, this isn't going anywhere once they announce their pricings

[@Blood-PawWerewolf]

Yeah, i’m expect it to be outrageously “predatory”. Especially knowing it has A/I/ generation in it. It’s going to be stupidly high and will kill any hype (if there was any to begin with) almost immediately.

[@melomaniakjm]

99$...

[@KhyrisEidan]

Why is it always the face.. Why not the body as well?

[@BlindingSun_]

I know I want a proper swole character

[@boccobadz]

It's still far away from Character Creator 4 offers. And CC4 has perpetual license which is huge.

[@blacksage81]

I bit the bullet and bought cc4

[@LupusMechanicus]

Your terms of service are trash, go shill somewhere else.

[@thepokekid01]

That little Devil on Mike's shoulder telling him to create "a crazy abomination" must have been going nuts when he was recording this.

[@kilrain_dev]

Why don't companies work on stylized character creators? Realism is heavily overrated.

[@brodriguez11000]

Who's style do they use?

[@Vondora]

Because realism is unniversal, while Stylized can be anything. Even in anime, a character from Naruto wouldn't fit in Bleach for example.

[@bexplosion]

Look at VRoid or Ready Player Me

[@rremnar]

@@Vondora I believe this is where AI could fit in. An artist could make a few sketches for the AI to pick up on, then start making the actual product with the artist's style. For none artists, the AI could search the internet for known artists you choose, and come up with a style of its own based on their work. Lot's of posibilities here.

[@justanothernobody7142]

Looks like it has potential but as with all these things it also depends on the potential cost which there's no mention of anywhere that I can see. In the FAQ under, Can I download my avatar? It says "YES, Reblium Pro will allow you to export your avatar as an FBX file format including joints and facial blendshapes." So it looks like they are already thinking about a tier system. I wish these kind of projects would be more upfront and at least give a rough estimate on what they are considering for cost as it puts me off even bothering to try out things like this that could end up being way above what I would be willing spend anyway.

[@epicjonny155]

if it's gonna cost money to even export a character, i might as well keep using vroid or creating characters from scratch on blender

[@justanothernobody7142]

@@epicjonny155 Yes from that it looks like they are either planning on having tiered software so maybe they will have a free version and a pro version but the free version will be limited on some things like type of export options, or worse they are thinking about having a tiered sub system. Either way without having any idea of cost it makes people wary of testig it or investing any time into it. Not sure how you can compare it to Vroid though, that app is just for making a very specific style of low poly anime characters.

[@marsmotion]

@@epicjonny155 its amazing they think creatives have unlim money. maybe this is for corp projs idk

[@desmasic]

@@marsmotion It's the same way 3D modellers overprice their models like indie developers are made out of money.

[@cepheus3d]

​@@epicjonny155 Why even just start from scratch? Daz models have existed for a long time too.

[@Fafhrd42]

Considering that two of the pre-sets are 'Na'vi from Avatar' and 'Abe Sapien' I'm guessing that their training dataset isn't properly licensed. I wouldn't go anywhere near this thing.

[@krukhlis]

so-so. Functionality is far behind the ancient plugin for the ancient versions of Blender. 😢😢

[@Marusame]

Looks fine, but overall they all look like western, early secondlife try-hard eboys/egirls rejects. I'm speaking honestly here and not just to be irritable sounding. It looks "fine", but at the end of the day its super western generic looking and needs furry, anthro beings, anime, slimmer figures, some toon/outline anime shaders, belly/thighs/butt/breasts/ physbone support (if it doesnt have that already), multiple outfit support on import/export, and ability to toggle. Basically it needs to be at least on par with a normal VRChat paid avatar.

[@brodriguez11000]

Borrow character creation from Biomutant then.

[@Maxume]

Lost me at 0:09 with the "enter your account" on the left side of the screen.

[@gamefromscratch]

That's seemingly a placeholder. There is nowhere to even sign up for an account

[@wildrelicproductions4879]

" 5:50 Yosemitti Sam over here"😂🤣 I just spit out my coffee on the counter ☕

[@AutodidactAnimotions]

I wish the companies would stop rushing out barely functional, pre-alpha ware that people will easily forget to revisit to check if it ever became something useful for production.

[@themightyflog]

If you can’t do custom clothes then nit really useful.

[@dragonballz3686]

These are just character creators like in game right?

[@DisturbedNeo]

Lotta references to a "Reblium Pro" in their FAQs. Pretty safe to say they're gonna start charging a subscription for this the moment it's actually a viable product. Hard pass.

[@jomesias]

This is awesome! Any way I can get this easily into Unreal?

[@imraanakollo-arenz1449]

I hope we can soon get something like this but for more stylized characters (that isn't just VRoid)

[@bexplosion]

check out Ready Player Me

[@Deiollymous]

2:52 ah yes, the masculinity of a mole is truly immeasurable.

[@sinayagubi8805]

maybe that doesn't say male but mole, it's just not spelled right

[@arunachalpradesh399]

if it will be cheaper than character creator 4 and indie friendly. than it will be great for unity user. till now there is no good procedural human generator for unity. i am somehow still using adobe fuse and makehuman. or buy expensive prebuild character from asset store.

[@raymk]

Please, let the characters blink

[@Vectorr66]

Can we use in unity?

[@mikemarsyada3046]

@gamefromscratch were you able to export the blendshapes from Reblium?

This guy has a ridiculous UI lol - transparent menus with white text ona grey background?!

when do we get the ai character creator?

[@VeeZzz123]

this has an option to just describe with text and generate the avatar that way, using AI

[@MatthewKrekeAuthor]

can you add custom clothing? can you add lipsync?

[@thirtyfive3d542]

Again for Windows. Mac? Linux? Anybody? Ever? Maybe I can convince From Software to develop their Dark Souls creator for iPad Pro…

[@TorQueMoD]

ROFL. It adds a mole because the slider says "Mole" not male. Thanks so much for sharing the program as always though :)

[@rremnar]

Looks promising, but needs a lot of work. I wonder if they will add a clothing/armor designer to it. Also, let's say you want to make a character designer for your game, how much data does this app give? Is it structured so you could do the same thing in your own app? I'd think that should be a option.

[@Elwaves2925]

Yeah, I tried this and I agree. It has potential but is too early to be usable right now, at least for me. Which is fine as it's early days, it's just a bit of fun to muck around with. One plus is that it can be used offline, at least for now.

[@CaptainPanick]

As a male without a mole I am utterly confused, am I even real?

[@minirop]

it's a misreading, it does says "mole" in the app.

[@Dilligff]

I think the slider was supposed to be Mole and Femole.

Have you checked out character creator 4?

Probably the most onerous disgusting IP with the worst TOS for any software in the history of computers.

[@julio1148]

@@LupusMechanicus can you expand? I just found it like yesterday and don’t know much about it

[@LupusMechanicus]

@@julio1148 First mover advantage, high price, A to AA assets, poor tools, sketchy practice and TOS. best not to have your project even associated with them. LRN2 blender, stable diffusion, and cascaduer for animation. these are all free and far more powerful. I'm probably going to do series soon. Game asset pipeline with AI and cheats to finish line. Also if FP just animate in unreal engine. can animate athletics and even weapons and animals in cascaduer. Blender just make a cohesive character in SD with profile and front view. Use mesh you can find online anywhere and drag vertices to match on both perspectives. You will need to make alpha channel and depth and what not and learn projection painting to to transfer texture from SD output to top down and rear. ya its probably going to require a tutorial Rig in UE5.4.

[@LookitVideos]

@@julio1148 It used to be pretty bad but they changed it a few years back. It's pretty reasonable now, just remember (and budget for) the Extended License. the Standard License only lets you generate 'imagery' with their content, you need the Extended for using the 3d models in video games and such.

[@TwoWayOrbitalStation]

@@LupusMechanicus Would like to know more please, whats wrong with it? it has a one time fee, so no subscription, which is what drew me in.
