Ok, thinking about a game and wanted to use Morph3D. It’s gone from the asset store and Morph3D.com goes to some weird non-unity avatar site.
DON’T tell me this fantastic toolset is gone!
It got opensourced a while ago. But it has been some-what abandoned. GitHub - volfin/mcs
read this, the last comments talk about the situation. [Released] Morph Character System (MCS) - Male and Female page-74
As for now, mcs opensource is incompatible with Unity 2019. I haven’t tested it myself but some guy said is only compatible with Unity 2018 and below.
If you want a character creator tool, there is Makehuman (totally free), Daz3d (freemium), Fuse (free for now) and yeah, those are the best that are compatible with Unity.
Peace.
Oh yeah. Daz is just the ticket. Going thru some tutorials now. Thanks,.

Its a real shame that Morph3D has been almost abandoned and put in open source as the product had lots of potential. Hopefully someone will take up the mantel of getting it fully supported in the latest unity releases.
I personally have been building my own character creator product which supports the reallusion CC3 character base that has a similar feature set that Morph3D had. I’m hoping to drop it on the unity asset store around december when i fully got the product finalized. If its a success and people want it then i will probably extend it to DAZ Genesis characters but making no promises until i see the interest factor and feedback.
The product currently runs with PBR HDRP shaders for the CC3 character in the image.

Morph3D was essentially rebooted as Tafi.
Yes i was wondering what Tafi is. But the characters looking nothing like the quality i was seeing on the MCS promo screens. Looks far more cartoony. Is this the case?
I don’t know. I’m not associated with the devs, and I’ve never used Tafi. Maybe they have some more photorealistic models?
You released yours ?
