About
Fuse is a 3D character creator that offers 70+ body parts, 150+ clothing meshes, and 42 texturing substances. It includes unlimited auto-rigs and animations through the Mixamo service, making it easy to prepare characters for animation in less time. However, as of August 22, 2017, Fuse 1.3 customers will need to download Adobe Fuse CC to continue using the software, as uploads from Fuse 1.3 will no longer be supported on Mixamo.com.

30 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeCharacter development in this software is praised for its accessibility and ease of use, making it a suitable choice for beginners and indie developers. While it offers a range of customization options and can expedite the character design process, users note significant limitations, such as a lack of diversity in character features and a disconnect in workflow when importing to Unity. Overall, it serves as a helpful tool for those new to 3D modeling, despite not being the most advanced option available.
“An interactive 3D character designer with tons of customizations that will please anyone interested in designing characters for games, films, and video games. Highly recommended to anyone who's into the hobby of art or animation.”
“Fuse is quite a very interesting character development app.”
“It's very good for an indie developer as it can easily wrap up character design hurdles that previously would take days to weeks.”
“It's a shortcut that game developers take so they don't bother with getting actual artists, thus making these games suffer the 'fuse look' and just looking the same from a character design standpoint.”
“With that regard, the workflow is quite the rocky road as there is quite a disconnect between beginning character development and Unity import.”
“Though it has got lots of limitations, I will still recommend this software for beginners who want to make characters for games or animations without any character development knowledge.”
