Create & Customize Human Ears in Blender With This Free Tool
Old but gold.
3D Illustrator and Character Designer Kei Sawada has recently provided an in-progress look at one of their WIP character projects, revisiting an incredible tool from the bygone era that seasoned Blender Artists may have already recognized.
In the demo, Sawada showcased the process of creating ears using Rimpotche's iconic 3D-Ear-Generator, a parameter-based tool from 2020 that lets one make and customize human ears, which can then be seamlessly attached to 3D head models. The artist's showcase highlighted the enduring value of the "old but gold" principle, demonstrating that the generator continues to deliver impressive results despite its age.
Developed for Blender 2.80 and higher, 3D-Ear-Generator lets you easily create modular human ears using parameters, making the process akin to a video game character creator. The generator is available for free via Rimpotche's GitHub page.
And here's an insightful tutorial explaining how to get started with the tool:
