> it seems there are no options for chubby and plus sized characters. i shall go back to blender.

I lightly referenced this video on my chubby model work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xv7sxvjy2k8

there are tricks (use a bodysuit to hide the body) and you CAN use the model as a starting point for a chubby model in blender. I will say for me personally I found i could get the width but not the tummy. I'm away from my computer but I'll share my wip of my friend's fantroll a bit later.
