Gold is charged when a step starts. A step that fails is refunded, and the steps after it do not run.
Or ask Claude to do the run
Connect CharGen to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for a model of a character from your campaign. It tells you the price of each step and waits for your yes before it spends gold.
Done. Vex has 18,601 triangles, a 78-bone skeleton with Unity bone names, and two moves.
Questions people ask
What do I need to start?
One clear picture of a character, creature or prop, ideally the whole figure on a plain background. You can also start from a 3D model you already have: upload a GLB, glTF, FBX, OBJ or STL file up to 150 MB, or pick one from your CharGen gallery.
Can I use the models in Unity, Unreal, Godot or Blender?
Yes. Results download as GLB or FBX: Clean up returns FBX, and Rig and animate lets you choose either. When you rig, you can pick bone names for Mixamo, Unity, Unreal, VRM or ActorCore, so the skeleton matches the tools you already use.
What does Clean up do?
A model made from a picture is very dense, often more than a million triangles. Clean up rebuilds it with the number of faces you choose, for example 10,000 for a game character, can use four-sided faces, keeps the textures and can unwrap new UVs in the same step.
Which moves can I add?
Rig and animate adds up to five preset moves in one file. Humanoids get idle, walk, run, jump, slash, shoot, climb, dive, hurt, fall and turn. Four-legged creatures get a walk. You can play every move in place, which game controllers usually want.
How much does it cost?
Each step costs gold when it starts: Clean up 15 to 55, Unwrap UVs 30, Rig 35, Rig and animate 50 to 105 depending on how many moves, Split into parts 55 to 125, and a model in parts from a picture 115. If a step fails, its gold comes back and the steps after it do not run.
Can I print the models?
Yes. Split into parts separates a model into pieces, and Fill hidden surfaces closes the gaps where those pieces meet, so each part prints solid. Export to STL from Blender or your slicer.
