Here's your recap of what we added to Ready Player Me in August 2023
Watch the full August recap here or on YouTube:
Custom Avatar Creator theme
The new custom theme lets you fully change the appearance of the avatar creator in your app or game.
You can customize:
- Colors of the background, individual interface elements, and text;
- Pick from nine different fonts;
- Toggle the shape of buttons between rounded and square.
To create your own custom theme, go to Developer Studio, select an application, then go to the "Theme" section.
Avatar Creator uses 5x less bandwidth
Ready Player Me Avatar Creator now consumes approximately 5x less bandwidth while customizing avatars, leading to faster avatar loading and customization experience in poor connections.
UX/UI Guidelines
The UX/UI Guideline is a comprehensive and practical manual that empowers you to seamlessly integrate Ready Player Me, optimizing the avatar creator’s integration for a native experience within your game or app. Find them in the docs.
Introducing Copilot AI
Copilot AI is our new tool assisting you during the Ready Player Me integration process. It will help you evaluate our platform, guide you through the development process, give you tips on optimizing your app or game’s performance and ensure a smooth launch.
Ask questions like:
- "How can I integrate the avatar creator for a Unity WebGL project?"
- "Is there a possibility to customize the outfits?"
- "Do I have to pay to use Ready Player Me?"
Go to Developer Studio to try Copilot AI out.
