Blender-chan: Free Blender character
A downloadable Character
Free to download and free to use. Designed and made by yours truly. No credits needed, but they're nonetheless appreciated. Feel free to mention me using @AmarilloArts_ on social media.
This model is game engine compatible, but might need a few tweaks depending on your needs. Uses Auto-Rig Pro, so you might want to get the attached helper addon to use the rig.
A few notes about this .blend
I am very particular about my colors, so I use a weird setup which shouldn't require any additional configuration when you open the file. Just in case, I'll explain.
View Transform is set to Raw. Normaly, this gives you terrible results on its own. That's why I have the Compositor enabled on all my viewports, and my render engine is set to EEVEE.
My compositing solution is designed to be performant in real time, so you should be fine as long as you have a gaming PC.
I am also relying on my own custom addon Amarillo's Pose Library to store a few poses, mainly for the facial expressions.
The way that I do expressions is by using Shape Keys instead of facial rigging. I use a dedicated rig to drive the Shape Keys called "Controller Armature Character".
By far, the heaviest component in the .blend is my Geometry Nodes hair solution. You should have this disabled except for when you make a render.
Q&A
Why is this free?
Creating things gives me satisfaction. I blame my Patreon supporters for enabling me.
What can I do with this?
Anything your heart desires. I don't care as long as you're happy.
Who are you again?
I am Amarillo. A guy who makes 3D characters and games. Some people call me "Butt Slapper guy" when they see me.
Is this model fully featured?
No. I simplified it a little by removing unnecesary parts. If you'd like to get the full version of this one, along with other fan art characters, I offer a bunch of Blender files in my highest Patreon tier.
- Do keep in mind that while this version of Blender chan is the public domain, the one on my Patreon isn't, as there are a few important differences. You can use my Blender files there for most non-comercial things.
Why is it so laggy?
If it runs slow on your PC, optimize both Hair_Hashed and Pantyhose_C materials by setting their Render Method to Blended instead of Dithered. Be sure to disable Transparency Overlap.
And this should go without saying, but whenever you want to pose/animate the character, activate the Simplify option in Render settings. Extra points if you assign your own custom shortcut for it.

is it fully featured when the clothes are removed?
This one isn't, but the Patreon version is, as all my other characters.
