Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I start?
Create a character from a photo or text, then check the rig and weights, and only after that move on to animation. The order of the steps is described in the article "Creating a 3D Character".
Do I need 3D experience?
No. The program performs rigging and skinning automatically. Knowing 3D helps you judge the result more precisely, but it is not required to get started.
What computer do I need?
An NVIDIA graphics card, Windows 10 or 11, 16 GB of RAM or more. The detailed requirements are on the home page.
