Coming soon to the Unity Asset Store
Voxel townsfolk and the Character Creator that makes them. Start from one of 25 presets, pick from 232 pieces in 27 categories, shape one of 24 bodies, color it with hand-shaded ramps and generate a game-ready prefab in one click: one skinned mesh, one material and one draw call on a 21-bone Humanoid rig. The same creator runs in your game, so your players can make their own.
No animation clips are included: the characters play Humanoid clips, from Mixamo or your own, through your Animator Controller. The seven ready-made townsfolk come as one FBX each.
Voxel City: Characters is two things in one pack: seven ready-made voxel townsfolk (Townsman, Baker, Fisher, Gardener, Clerk, Elder and Youth), each one Humanoid FBX with its prefab, and the Character Creator, a Unity Editor window (Tools > Voxel Characters > Character Creator) that dresses, shapes and colors new townsfolk and writes each one out as a game-ready prefab.
Every piece fits every body. Pick eyes, brows, hair, hats, shirts, jackets, trousers, dresses, shoes, jewellery, bags and props from 232 pieces in 27 categories; choose female or male, one of four builds and three heights, then fine-tune the bust, waist, posture, shoulders and more. Colors are hand-shaded ramps (12 skin tones, 18 hair colors, 31 cloth colors and more) with 8 themes and 4 fabric patterns, and Randomise rolls a whole townsperson or one part, from a seed you can keep.
Generate writes a prefab, a mesh with its Humanoid Avatar, a material, a texture and a recipe of every choice, so you can reopen a character later and regenerate it in place. Each character is one skinned mesh with one material and one draw call, within a 950-quad budget, checked in 12 poses before it is written. The included in-game creator, a playable demo scene called the Fitting Room, runs the same catalog in a player with mouse, keyboard, touch or gamepad, and saves plain JSON.

All images are renders of the pack's own characters in Unity 6 with URP: the Character Creator window in the Editor, and the in-game creator demo scene that ships with the pack.
The page layouts, backgrounds and lettering are a presentation setup for the gallery. The timings on the In your game page were measured in the Editor on a development PC.

| Mesh | 1 skinned mesh, 1 material and 1 draw call per character, rigid weights (one bone per vertex) |
| Triangles | 1,670 to 1,882 per pack character; the creator keeps every character within a 950-quad budget, 340 of them for the head |
| Scale | 6.25 cm voxels; an average adult is 27 voxels, about 1.69 m tall; 1 unit = 1 m |
| Shader | VoxelCharacters/Lit (URP) |
| Textures | A 1024 × 1024 atlas for the pack characters; each generated character gets its own 256 × 256 or 512 × 256 point-filtered texture |

| Scripts | C# source in the VoxelCharactersKit namespace: the runtime, the Character Creator and its validator, the in-game creator and the VoxelCreatorSession API |
| In-game creator | UI Toolkit; mouse, keyboard, touch and, with the Input System package, a gamepad; wide and portrait layouts; saves plain JSON |
| FBX export | Optional, with Unity's FBX Exporter package (com.unity.formats.fbx 5.1.0 or newer), which the pack never installs |

Compatibility
Universal Render Pipeline: required. The characters use the included VoxelCharacters/Lit shader.
Built-in and HDRP: not supported. The shader is written for URP, so in another pipeline the materials render pink.
Animation: no clips are included. The characters are standard Humanoids, so they play Mixamo clips or your own through an Animator Controller you make. Mixamo files are not part of the pack; you download them yourself under Adobe's terms.
Voxel City: not required. The townsfolk are made at the same scale as its streets, but the pack works on its own.
Limits: the voxel parts are rigid blocks, so hands, feet and jaws are solid, long hair does not swing, skirts stay short and there are no capes.
FAQ
No. The characters are standard Unity Humanoids with a 21-bone rig and an Avatar, so they play Humanoid clips through an Animator Controller you set up: Mixamo clips, clips from other packs or your own. VoxelCharacter feeds Speed, WalkRate and IdleOffset to the Animator and blinks the eyes in code.
Download the clips from Mixamo yourself (they are not part of the pack and come under Adobe's terms), set them to Humanoid in the import settings and add them to your Animator Controller. The manual walks through it step by step, with the import settings that keep the feet and arms right.
Yes, that is what the Character Creator is for. Open Tools > Voxel Characters > Character Creator, start from a preset or roll one, change anything and press Generate (Ctrl+G). The result is a normal prefab with its own mesh, Avatar, material and texture, plus a recipe you can reopen and regenerate.
Yes. The in-game creator demo scene, the Fitting Room, runs the same catalog, rules and build in a player, with mouse, keyboard, touch and gamepad, and saves each character as plain JSON. Use it as it is, restyle it, or build your own menus on the VoxelCreatorSession API.
One skinned mesh, one material and one draw call. The creator keeps every character within a 950-quad budget, and the seven pack characters are 1,670 to 1,882 triangles each.
No. The pack stands alone and works in any URP project. The townsfolk are made at the same scale as Voxel City, so they fit its streets.
Yes. Add your own pieces, color variants and attachments to the catalog. My items > Package my items writes them out as a .unitypackage or as one .vcitem.json file per item; the pack's own files are never included.
No. The characters need the Universal Render Pipeline and the included VoxelCharacters/Lit shader.
Yes. The pack is sold under the standard Unity Asset Store EULA, which allows use in commercial games, including the characters you make with the creator. It does not allow reselling or redistributing the assets themselves.
Yes, and the store listing will say so too. The voxel pieces and characters were built by an AI model (Anthropic Claude) that wrote modelling scripts for Blender; no text-to-3D or image-to-3D generator was used. The shader, the C# tools, the Character Creator, the in-game creator, the Unity prefabs and the manual were made by the same process. The publisher defined the characters and the catalog, made the production decisions and decides what is published. The images and videos on this page are renders of the pack in Unity; none was made with an AI image or video generator.
Pairs well with
The townsfolk are made at the scale of Voxel City's streets and the Interiors' rooms. Each pack works on its own and is sold separately.
