AI 3D character generator

AI 3D character generator, rigged and ready to animate

Describe a character or upload a photo of one. Gifsy builds a textured 3D model, fits a skeleton, and lets you watch it idle, walk and run before you download the GLB for your game or your Blender scene.

A character made with Gifsy, rigged with 22 bones. Pick a motion in the corner, drag to turn it.

How to make a rigged 3D character

  1. 01

    Describe or upload

    Write a sentence or add a full-body photo, and pick Character.

  2. 02

    Check the reference

    Text is drawn in a T-pose for you to approve, free. A photo can be redrawn in a T-pose or A-pose.

  3. 03

    Preview and download

    The GPU builds, paints and rigs it. Watch it idle, walk and run, then download the GLB or STL.

The rig

Humanoid characters get UniRig's body template: 22 bones, renamed to the names Mixamo uses, so the skeleton looks familiar to every retargeting tool. Characters that aren't shaped like a person get a free-form skeleton instead.

  • Bones

    22

    Hips, spine, neck, head, arms and legs.

  • Names

    mixamorig:Hips…

    Mixamo's naming, for easy retargeting.

  • Hands

    One bone each

    No finger bones: hands move as one piece.

  • Held items

    Bound to one bone

    A sword or rifle moves as one piece instead of bending.

Use it in your engine

Download the GLB and import it as it is: Unity with glTFast, Unreal with its glTF importer, Godot directly, or Blender with File, Import, glTF. The skeleton comes with the mesh. In Blender you can export it again as FBX if your pipeline expects that.

What works, and what doesn't

  • Works best
  • Full-body characters, standing, feet visible
  • Stylised looks: cartoon, toy, game characters, mascots
  • T-pose or A-pose, which the free redraw gives you
  • Clear outfits with distinct shapes
  • Works worst
  • Close-ups and portraits: the model needs the whole body
  • Arms crossed or tucked in, which rig poorly
  • Exact likeness of a real person
  • Long flowing hair, capes and loose fabric, which move stiffly

See it move first

Every humanoid character can be previewed idle, walking and running in the viewer, and one holding a rifle can aim and fire. They're previews in the browser, not clips inside the file. How the animation previews work

What it costs

Every account gets 2 free models. One model costs 1 credit, and a model that fails on our side refunds its credit automatically. After that, plans start at $9 a month for 10 models. See pricing

Questions

Is the character rigged automatically?

Yes. Pick Character and the model comes back with a skeleton fitted. Humanoids usually get a 22-bone body rig with Mixamo bone names; creatures that don't fit a human body get a free-form skeleton instead.

Can I use Mixamo animations on it?

When the humanoid rig fits, the bones carry Mixamo's names (mixamorig:Hips, mixamorig:Spine and so on), so clips made for a Mixamo skeleton retarget onto it with little or no bone mapping in Blender or a game engine.

Which game engines does it work with?

The GLB opens in Unity (with glTFast), Unreal (with its glTF importer), Godot and Blender, skeleton included. In Blender you can also export it as FBX.

Can I make a character from my own photo?

Yes. Upload a full-body photo and pick Character. You can have it redrawn in a T-pose or A-pose first, free, which rigs and animates more cleanly. The face is rebuilt rather than pasted from the photo, so expect a likeness, not a scan.

Why doesn't my character show Walk and Run?

The previews need the humanoid rig. A four-legged creature, or a shape the template couldn't fit, gets a free-form skeleton you can still pose, but without the walk and run previews.
