We are excited to announce that Powtoon's Character Builder (Beta version) has just been released. This is a cutting-edge DIY graphic design tool that you can use for creating custom characters. The Powtoon Character Builder will be rolled out in several phases. In the current beta phase, you'll be able to customize a character's outfit. In upcoming phases, you'll be able to build a character completely from scratch and customize all of its features: build, ethnicity, facial features, and more.
See Using the Powtoon Character Builder (Beta release) for more information.

Three new character families (Cosmo, Rhapsody, and Boho) have been added to the Powtoon Studio to work in tandem with the Character Builder. These new contemporary characters, ranging from the abstract to the realistic, were designed to provide maximum versatility in style and physical features. In keeping with the contemporary design, the poses available for the characters are realistic and human-like in their movement.
Note that all the new characters behave like existing Powtoon characters and do not require customization before being added to a Powtoon.
