AI character editing · Plus

Have a change in mind?
Put it into words.

Describe a change to a dress-up mascot or supported companion. AI adjusts its available shapes, colors and parts. Compare Before / After, refine the preview, then apply the changes you want.

Example request
“Make the mushroom cap wider and the colors softer. Keep the same face.”

Manual editing and three-option variations are free. Plus adds AI editing with 1,000 shared credits/month. A successful appearance preview uses 1 credit; failed or unchanged results use 0.

AI edits existing characters and parts. Dress-up mascots also support AI motion sequences and talking videos; companions do not support voice input.

Walk, wave,
smile and speak.

Pick ready-made motions and expressions, then watch them together. Add your own audio with a dress-up mascot and record the performance in the same workspace.

A little wave from Teddy.

Start with this plush bear, change its colors and expression, then choose a motion to record.

The right motions for each body.

Dress-up mascots offer a broad library of walks, waves and dances. Companions and simple figures have smaller motion sets made for their shapes.

A face that answers.

Switch expressions while a motion plays — happy, surprised, sleepy, crying — and record the change, not just a pose.

Your voice, its mouth.

Load an audio file and preview 20 seconds free with a dress-up mascot. Plus adds microphone input and WebM recording with your voice included.

Sequence a take.

Dress-up mascots can combine motions and expressions into a sequence. All character styles can record a single motion in square, vertical or widescreen video.

GLB includes body animation with a static facial expression. Recorded clips include changing expressions.

Watch one in action ↗

Out of the editor.

A presenter for your next video. A familiar face in your app. A character for the game you're making.

What is Halcyone Maker?

A browser workspace for making and animating 3D characters. Start with a ready-made mascot, woodland friend, food character, animal, robot or simple figure, change its look, choose motions and expressions, and record a clip. Dress-up mascots can also use your own audio. You can export clips, images or 3D models without learning modeling or rigging.

What kinds of cute 3D characters can I make?

Choose dress-up mascots, woodland friends, little creatures, food and object characters, animals, floating friends, robots or simple figures. The new storybook collection includes Hooded Cub, Raincoat Bunny, Scarf Fox, Bell Shroom, Seed Pod, Acorn Walker, Mallow Blob, Pip Horn, Pudding Pal, Toast Buddy, Pear Pal and Tea Cup. Each starting character has its own supported shape controls and motions.

Can I compare character variations for free?

Yes. In Manual, lock the features you want to keep and compare three appearance options before applying one. Small changes makes a subtle adjustment; Change the mood explores a wider range. Applying is one undoable edit. This does not use AI credits.

How does AI character editing work?

With Plus or Pro, describe a change to a supported mascot or companion, review Before / After and apply the result. AI edits existing shapes, colors and parts; it does not generate arbitrary new 3D geometry. All new storybook characters support AI appearance editing. Developer Robot, Chubby Robot, Marshmallow Robot and simple figures use manual appearance controls.

Can I make a character talk with my audio?

Yes. Choose a dress-up mascot, load an audio file in Animate → Record and preview up to 20 seconds free. The mouth follows audio volume. Plus adds microphone input and voice-driven exports; WebM includes the sound, while GIF is silent. In Manual, audio stays in your browser and must be selected again after reopening.

Can I type a line for a character to speak?

Yes. With Plus or Pro, use AI edit → Make a talking video for a standard Mascot. Review the line, generate AI voice or choose your own audio, then preview and export a voiced WebM in the asset ZIP. Save take keeps the line, plan and source audio with your saved character. A GLB export does not include the voice or animated face.

Is it free?

Yes. Building, customizing, previewing and your first basic export are free without an account. A free account makes basic Character Maker exports unlimited. Audio file preview is free for 20 seconds with dress-up mascots. Plus adds AI appearance editing for supported mascots and companions, voice-driven recording for dress-up mascots, GLB Studio recording, additional 3D formats and larger save limits.

How much does it cost?

Free for building; a free account adds unlimited basic exports and 3 saved characters. Plus is $12 per month or $115.20 per year. Pro is $29 per month or $278.40 per year.

Do I need Blender or any 3D skills?

No. You assemble characters from friendly parts and sliders — there is no modeling, rigging or timeline to learn. If you have never opened a 3D tool, you can still make a finished character.

Which files can I export?

Free includes PNG, GIF, WebM and animated GLB, plus the dress-up mascot expression ZIP. Plus and Pro add glTF ZIP, OBJ with MTL and textures, USDZ and STL. glTF retains the model and body motions; OBJ, USDZ and STL are static. STL contains no colors or face artwork and needs print preparation. FBX, BLEND and VRM are not currently available.

Can I use a model in a game engine?

GLB uses standard glTF 2.0 with materials and body animations. Some characters use a skeleton; others animate separate model parts. Tools with a glTF importer can load it; Unity needs an importer such as glTFast. The selected face is static, and import appearance can vary. Use the GLB guide inside Maker to choose a workflow.

Can I make a transparent or vertical video for OBS, TikTok or my app?

Yes. Record WebM in 16:9, 1:1 or 9:16 with a transparent, greenback or solid background. GIF recording is silent and does not preserve alpha. Test a short export in your destination app; format and transparency support vary.

Is it a VTuber app?

Not a full one. There is no face tracking, Live2D or VRM rig. With Plus, dress-up mascots can animate their mouths from a microphone or audio file for recordings.

Can I use my characters commercially?

Exports are intended for use in your own projects; see the pricing page and current terms for commercial-use details.

What will your character do?

A wave, a walk, a little story. Start with a character and make it yours.
