Anime-Ready: Controllable 3D Anime Character Generation with Body-Aligned Component-Wise Garment Modeling

3D anime character generation has become increasingly important in digital entertainment, including animation production, virtual reality, gaming, and virtual influencers. Unlike realistic human modeling, anime-style characters require exaggerated proportions, stylized surface details, and artistically consistent garments, posing unique challenges for automated 3D generation. Previous approaches for 3D anime character generation often suffer from low mesh quality and blurry textures, and they typically do not provide corresponding skeletons, limiting their usability in animation. In this work, we present a novel framework for high-quality 3D anime character generation that overcomes these limitations by combining the expressive power of the Skinned Multi-Person Linear (SMPL) model with precise garment generation. Our approach extends the Anime-SMPL model to better capture the distinct features of anime characters, enabling unified skeleton generation and blendshape-based facial expression control. This results in fully animation-ready 3D characters with expressive faces, bodies, and garments. To complement the body model, we introduce a body-aligned component-wise garments generation pipeline (including hairstyles, upper garments, lower garments, and accessories), which models garments as structured components aligned with body geometry. Furthermore, our method produces high-quality skin and facial textures, as well as detailed garment textures, enhancing the visual fidelity of the generated characters. Experimental results demonstrate that our framework significantly outperforms baseline methods in terms of mesh quality, texture clarity, and garment-body alignment, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in anime content creation and interactive media.
