MakeHuman is a free software that works as a standalone character customization program akin to that of many role playing games. You can create a new mesh or body, adjust sliders and use presets to make the character suit your needs in aspects such as age, body type, gender, athleticism, color, brow shapes, eyes, and so on. Acting as an all-encompassing virtual human creation program, MakeHuman also offers rigs to fit and apply to your character so once they are exported they are already animatable, saving mass amounts of time and effort. There are also options to fit the character with clothes and accessories, with the ability to upload your own. Additionally, once you have your character set exactly as you want, it's time to export it, and MakeHuman offers a variety of exporting formats for compatibility across various 3D modeling software packages.

MakeHuman makes your life easier if you need 3D charactes and don't have the time or experience to create them from scratch. You just need to click and move some sliders to see how your 3D mesh changes, making it so easy to create the base character you need.
