What is D&D Character Visualizer?
The D&D Character Visualizer is client application that allows you to build the character you want to play, either for your D&D tabletop game or for your game on the D&D Game Table. You select your race, gender, class, and equipment, and this tool allows you to customize your character as you see fit. Once you've built a character you like, you can create a digital miniature of the character for the D&D Game Table or include a snapshot of the character on your D&D character record sheet.

Adjust Your Race & Class
You can choose your race from all of the available options, including all of the races appearing in the Player's Handbook.

With the D&D Character Visualizer, you can morph your facial features and adjust your body frame and skin tone to create characters of every shape and ethnicity. You can also adjust your character's static pose to something more dynamic.
Change Your Attire
The D&D Character Visualizer presents an array of clothing and armor choices. Mix and match as you see fit. The tool allows you to color and texture clothing and armor to suit your needs. Although each race comes with specific options, you are free to dress your character in garb from other races as well.
Equip Your Weapons
You can equip your character however you wish, choosing from an impressive array of melee weapons, ranged weapons, and implements. The weapons adjust to fit the pose you've selected, or you can rotate and move weapons around to suit your needs. Add colors, textures, and glow effects to further customize your character's weapons.
Add Scars & Tattoos
The D&D Character Visualizer allows you to place scars, tattoos, and other decals on your character. Mix, match, and color them as you see fit.
Play With Your Character
Once you've created your character, you can save it to our server (and share it with your friends), save it on your local drive, print it, or turn it into a 3D miniature on the D&D Game Table. You can also link it to a D&D character sheet created using the D&D Character Builder.
