Alternatives to Poser and Daz

Poser and Daz are really cool 3D packages.

And by the way, you can find great 3D collections for them on our website. We are talking about character models, creatures, props, environments, clothing, poses, accessories, hairstyles, bundles and other materials for Genesis 8, 8.1, 9 Male & Female.

But what if these programs are not right for you? For example, you want something simpler, which does not require you to spend many hours to learn, but offers roughly similar functionality.

In this article we have gathered the best alternatives to these two programs for you.

Let's take a look at them!

コイカツ！ / Koikatsu Party

Koikatsu Party is an eroge simulator developed by Illusion, a Japanese company specializing in H-games.

"But this is some game, what is it even doing on this list?!"

And the thing is, Koikatsu has a very, very rich character editor. You can give them custom textures and masks (which you can download from our site, by the way).

Also, almost every slider can be fine-tuned. You can create a normal and attractive character, or something crazy and even creepy. It's all up to you!

What's also great about Koikatsu is that you can easily share your created characters with other people because they are saved as compressed PNG files. To upload someone else's character, all you have to do is download it and move it to your game folder. Best of all, you don't even have to restart the game.

Finally, Koikatsu offers the ability to create quite complex animations. This is available in CharaStudio (an additional program that comes with Koikatsu Party). You can create them with the local editor even if you only know the basics.

The barrier to entry is low, and for this reason Koikatsu competes with the more complex Poser and Daz.

Misfit Model 3D

This OpenGL-based 3D model editor works with triangles.

Yes, that's right.

This program is perfect for you if you're a follower of unusual visual styles and like to work with geometric shapes to make your character unique.

Overall, Misfit Model 3D supports multi-level skeletal animation, simple texturing, scripting, command-line batch processing, and a plug-in system for adding new models and image filters. It's also easy to use and extendable with plugins and scripts.

MakeHuman

MakeHuman is an interactive modeling tool for creating realistic 3D characters. It is open source, which can come in handy if you like to customize and personalize the software you use.

Perhaps the most important feature of MakeHuman is that characters can be modeled in minutes and then used with many other modeling and rendering programs to create realistic or even animated scenes.

MakeHuman has a wide range of features. In particular, the tetraparametric GUI and the Natural Pose System. The former extends the user interface and the latter allows you to model muscles in more detail.

In general, the program is quite simple. It will be easier to get used to than Daz or Poser.

Honey Select

Honey Select is another program (game) from Illusion. It is almost identical to Koikatsu in functionality, but while Koikatsu emphasizes anime style, Honey Select emphasizes realism. It is a very worthy competitor to Poser and Daz, being essentially on par with them and offering the same style.

But it's much simpler and supports a handy PNG character feature (like Koikatsu), so you can start working on your character in no time by simply downloading a reference from special sites like Bepis DB.

Character Creator 3

Character Creator 3 is a complete character creation solution that allows you to easily create, import and customize stylized characters for use with iClone, Maya, Blender, Unreal Engine 4, Unity or any other 3D software.

And you can see how to use all the characters ported to these utilities on our website. We have prepared for you a section dedicated to various tutorials!
