Share your customized character!

No matter if you designed your character to look like you or someone from a world far away, we would love to see how you brought your character to life.

As you create your custom character, here are a few things to keep in mind:

You can get inspiration for your character from other video game characters as well as your favorite places, books and movies.
When working in a new software, it’s normal to hit a few bumps in the road. Try to take regular breaks and always keep an open mind to stay motivated.
When choosing the custom graphic for your character’s t-shirt, consider how it can make your character unique to you and your project.
Have fun exploring Unreal Engine’s asset library as well as other online libraries for even more character customization options.
