MetaPerson Creator

3D Person Maker
make a person from a photo — or design one

Q: Can my app generate people from photos automatically?

Yes. Developers can embed MetaPerson Creator in their own product, and Avatar SDK offers a Cloud API to create 3D people from photos at scale, included in the Pro plan (companies under $2M in revenue and funding) and in Enterprise. See the MetaPerson Creator page for developers and the pricing page for plans.

A person maker builds a lifelike 3D person you can rotate, dress, animate and export. Upload one photo and MetaPerson Creator turns it into a full-body 3D person that looks like you in about a minute — or build a person from scratch, starting from a base model. Free to start, right in your browser, with GLB, glTF and FBX export.

Three steps

How to make a 3D person online

MetaPerson is a free online person maker: from a photo to a finished, rigged 3D person in three steps — no modeling skills, nothing to install.

Start from a photo — or a base

Upload one clear, front-facing photo of the person you want to make. No photo? Pick a base model and build a person from scratch.

Design the person

Shape the face and body, then choose a hairstyle, outfit, glasses and accessories in the built-in editor until the person looks right.

Export the person

Download the finished 3D person as GLB, glTF or FBX — rigged and ready for Unity, Unreal Engine, Blender and Mixamo animations.

Two ways

Make a person that looks like you — or create your own

Make a 3D model of a person from a photo

Give the person maker one photo and it reconstructs the face into a recognizable, full-body 3D person — yourself, a friend, a teammate — ready to animate.

One front-facing photo is enough
A likeness people recognize at a glance
Full body, rigged, Mixamo-compatible

Build a person from scratch

Want to design a person who doesn't exist yet — a virtual person for a story, a game or a demo? Start from a base model and build the person yourself.

Lifelike or stylized

A lifelike 3D person — or a stylized one

Make a realistic person who looks like the photo, or switch the same person to a stylized cartoon look. You can change styles anytime in the editor and export both versions.

Design every detail of the person

The person builder gives you full control: adjust facial features and body proportions, then dress the person with dozens of hairstyles, outfits, glasses and accessories. Come back anytime, customize the person again and re-export. What the 3D person maker includes: lifelike and cartoon styles, full-body models, face and body-shape editing, hairstyles, outfits and accessories, GLB/glTF/FBX export — and your first person is free.

FAQ

3D person maker — FAQ

Is there a free 3D person maker online?

Yes. MetaPerson Creator is a free 3D person maker that runs in your browser: your first person is free to create, and exporting it with default settings (LOD1, JPG textures, 1K resolution) is free too. Paid options add animation, a second LOD and 2K/4K textures; after the first, each new person costs a small amount of in-app credits. No subscription, nothing to install.

How do I make a 3D person from a photo?

Open MetaPerson Creator and upload one clear, front-facing photo. The AI reconstructs the face and builds a full-body 3D person that looks like the photo in about a minute. Adjust the body, hair and outfit, then export as GLB, glTF or FBX.

Can I make a person without a photo?

Yes. Pick a base model and build the person from scratch: shape the face and body, choose a hairstyle and clothing, and switch between a lifelike and a cartoon look. That is how you create a virtual person who doesn't exist in real life.

What is the difference between a person maker and an avatar maker?

An avatar usually means your own identity in an app or game. A person maker is the same tool used more broadly: a 3D model of any person — you, a colleague, or an invented one — that you can rotate, animate and reuse. MetaPerson Creator does both; what changes is what you make with it.

Can I use the person in a game or app?

Yes. Every person exports rigged, with facial blendshapes, as GLB/glTF or FBX, and works in Unity, Unreal Engine, Blender, VR/AR apps and with Mixamo animations — as a playable character or an NPC.

Can my app generate people from photos automatically?

Yes — developers can embed MetaPerson Creator in their own product, and Avatar SDK offers a Cloud API to create 3D people from photos at scale, included in the Pro plan (companies under $2M in revenue and funding) and in Enterprise. See the MetaPerson Creator page for developers and the pricing page for plans.

Do I need to install anything?

No. The person maker is fully online and runs in your browser on desktop and mobile — nothing to download.
