We have a lot of news about Avatar SDK: the release of new assets and facial blends, samples and open source code for the MetaPerson Creator, and the partnership with DeepMotion! Let’s dive in!

We have partnered with DeepMotion to provide our customers with a great experience creating animations for the MetaPerson avatars! We have released tutorials for Unity and Unreal Engine on how to use DeepMotion’s Animate3D and SayMotion to make avatars walk, run, and dance! Additionally, we’ve added comprehensive documentation to support your learning journey.

Sample Facial Animations

Explore new facial animations based on our mobile_51 blendshape set. Now, you can experiment with facial expressions and animations directly in MetaPerson Creator—not just skeletal animations!

New Hairstyles Added

Got any ideas for what outfits we should include next? We’d love to hear from you—share your suggestions with us!

More Facial Blendshapes

Customize avatars like never before! We’ve added a significant number of additional blendshapes, making it easier to fine-tune head and facial features after avatar creation.

Updated MetaPerson Loader for Unity

We’ve enhanced the MetaPerson Loader for Unity, introducing a new Point Cloud Loading Sample. This tool demonstrates how to efficiently reduce network and storage usage when showcasing multiple MetaPerson avatars in one scene. Curious? Check it out here: MetaPerson Point Cloud Loading Sample. This concept is adaptable to other graphic engines like Unreal Engine or WebGL!

MetaPerson Creator for Mobile

We are excited to introduce the latest Avatar SDK update, packed with features designed to improve your avatar creation experience and enhance project integration. Here’s what’s new:

Jewelry Assets for MetaPerson Creator

You can now add jewelry assets to your avatars in MetaPerson Creator! We’ve included a variety of earrings and necklaces to demonstrate how different asset types are supported. If you need help adding specific asset types, please send us a request.

New Lipsync Feature for MetaPerson Creator

We’ve added a lipsync demonstration directly into the MetaPerson Creator for the desktop version. Now, you can try out real-time lipsyncing using your own voice in the browser! All you need is a microphone to start testing this feature.

Continuing the theme of lipsync, we’ve published new sample projects and YouTube tutorials for using the Oculus Lipsync for Unity and Unreal Engine.

New Recolorable Eye Model

We’ve introduced a brand-new recolorable eye model for avatars, giving you even more control over your avatar’s appearance. You can now customize the iris and pupil size and recolor both the iris and sclera. This is another step toward providing greater control over the look and personality of your avatars.

Improved Hand Movement for VR Projects

We’ve updated skinning for the hands to ensure better quality and smoother hand movements in VR environments. If you’re working on a VR project where users control their avatar’s hand gestures via controllers, this update will provide more precise and realistic hand movements.

Mobile Version Updates

The mobile version of MetaPerson Creator now supports the latest outfits and includes recent fixes for age variations that were previously available only on the desktop version. This update brings even more consistency and versatility to avatar creation on the go.

These updates bring more customization, improved functionality, and exciting new features to Avatar SDK, helping you create even more dynamic and personalized avatars.
