CC5 HD Characters

Character Creator 5 introduces a new HD character system with the following features:

Appearance

  • Adaptive Subdivision & Texture Baking - Choose from Subdivide Level 0 to 2. Even at low levels, you can bake high-quality textures (Diffuse, Normal, AO, Cavity) to keep the model looking detailed.
  • HD Morph System - Use HD morphs to add fine details to your character. It works well with GoZ for smooth updates between your sculpting and animation tools.
  • HD Eyes & Skin - Eyes now support high-res tear lines, ducts, and new eyelash add-ons. Skin includes Cavity Maps for better pore and wrinkle detail, supports up to 8K textures, and works with SkinGen.
  • Displacement Maps - Add real surface depth without changing the base mesh. Great for sending models to Maya or ZBrush for more work.

Expressions

  • MH Facial Profile - Each expression drives more facial deformations, capturing subtle details. Ideal for facial mocap workflows.
  • Expression Constraint System - New constraints ensure expressions follow anatomical rules, preventing distortion and keeping facial structure realistic.
  • Nonlinear Facial Movement - Advanced curve control and mesh elasticity simulate uneven facial muscle motion—such as sticky lips, elastic pouting, and brow compression when frowning.
