Advanced Member Marc Wakefield Posted November 8, 2013 Advanced Member Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) Hey people, Just a quick 'heads up' for anyone who may be interested. Mixamo have released a character creation program called Fuse on Steam and it looks pretty interesting. Could be good for quickly creating unique base characters to bring in to 3D Coat and finish before uploading for rigging at Mixamo.com (or in your 3D package of choice). As a fuse user, you get 1 free autorig a week at Mixamo so it could be a sweet deal for some of us. http://store.steampowered.com/app/257400/?snr=1_4_4__106 What are your thoughts? It is 50% off until the 14th of November. Edited November 8, 2013 by Marc Wakefield 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlosan Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 FUSE END USER LICENSE AGREEMENThttp://www.mixamo.com/c/legal_fuseUser agrees that standalone Content that is not Embedded Content may not be resold, published or distributed to third parties, and such resale, publication and distribution of Content that is not Embedded Content is strictly prohibited. About this point... what exactly means ? ------------------------------------- http://steamcommunity.com/app/257400/discussions/0/648811126388222796/ With the Steam version of Fuse, you will be able to create a character in Fuse, upload it to Mixamo for a rig, and download your character (select the free T-pose animation) to start using the rig to animate. The rig won't cost a thing if you're just rigging a new character each week. If you're interested in Mixamo's pre-made animations, they are also available, but as you mentioned, they are not all free, though there are a few. --------------------------------------------------------- textures are limited to 1k in the free version models polycount exported: 14K cant import my own models Allegorithmic’s Substance technology have few textures to use Normals are VERY basic ------------------------------------- about software upgrades: is not clear license schema: not clear new content: not clear From what i can see, Fuse is nothing but a store front for mixamo products and services.

Carlosan Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Feature upgrades will come as free updates. New content will become available in paid packs and eventually people will be able to add their own content into the app. Charles Developer http://steamcommunity.com/app/257400/discussions/0/648811126619011802/#c648811126660642165 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member alvordr Posted December 5, 2013 Advanced Member Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Yep...I made the mistake of buying this at the $50 discounted price. What a waste. It does very little to create the multitude of quality characters it advertises. The first DLC is already available at $50 and it's just a few pieces of fabric, etc. I even took it to the point of pushing out a character to see how it performed, in terms of uploading to Mixamo, using their autorigger, applying a motion and downloading it. The motion was fine, but the model sucked (and I'm not usually that direct on something like this). What I got out of Fuse didn't exactly look the same on the other end. I would say skip this.

Advanced Member alvordr Posted December 5, 2013 Advanced Member Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 I've had no luck with refunds. Valve doesn't give refunds, as the requests must go to those who are selling the product(s). I did that, but it apparently doesn't matter.

Advanced Member Marc Wakefield Posted December 6, 2013 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Hmm, sorry for bringing this program to your attention guys. I tried the demo and wasn't that impressed either. I think Makehuman is looking like a much better alternative for anyone wishing to create base meshes and its free...

Advanced Member Marc Wakefield Posted August 4, 2014 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) It looks like there are some massive improvements coming to Fuse and it may be worth reconsidering. 1.1 was a definite improvement and 1.2 looks like it will add more customization and address a load of other issues. I brought a Fuse exported obj into 3D Coat for texturing / normal detail work and it worked really well.
