EmoteLab uses a premade, customizable character model. While it offers a variety of parts and animations, it is not possible to create every type of character. The available parts and animation clips are limited to what is included in the current version of the software.
The developer may add new parts and animation clips over time based on user feedback, but it is not guaranteed that all requests can be fulfilled.
Please review the documentation website to see the full list of currently available character parts and animation clips. Purchasing decisions should be based on the current features and contents, rather than expectations of future updates.
EmoteLab is designed for general users with no background in animation or content creation. It is not a professional animation tool and does not support keyframing or manual editing of individual part movements.
