LPCharacterStudio

LPCharacterStudio is an open-source character creation tool for the Universal LPC asset ecosystem. The project is built on top of the SATF Godot Addon and aims to provide both a standalone character design application and a simple drop-in workflow for using generated characters directly in Godot projects.

The application targets desktop platforms, currently Linux and Windows.

LPCharacterStudio uses character assets from the Universal LPC project and character definitions are designed to be compatible with the SATF workflow for game integration.

Technology

LPCharacterStudio is based on the SATF Godot Addon:

Project Goal
