Avatar Integration
Learn how to bring full-body AI avatars into game engines, web applications, VR/AR experiences, and enterprise platforms.
File Formats
| Format | Use Case | Supported By |
|---|---|---|
| glTF/GLB | Web, cross-platform | Three.js, Unity, Unreal, all modern engines |
| FBX | Game engines, DCC tools | Unity, Unreal, Maya, Blender |
| VRM | VTuber, social VR | VRChat, VTube Studio, Cluster |
| USD | Film, Apple ecosystem | Apple Vision Pro, Pixar tools, Unreal |
Unity Integration
- Import FBX or glTF models with animations
- Ready Player Me provides a Unity SDK for avatar loading at runtime
- Use Animator Controller for state-based animation blending
- Universal Render Pipeline (URP) for mobile; HDRP for high-fidelity
Unreal Engine Integration
- MetaHuman is native to Unreal with full animation support
- Import custom avatars via FBX with skeleton retargeting
- Control Rig for procedural animation
- Nanite virtualized geometry for high-poly characters
Web Integration
- Three.js: Load glTF avatars with skeletal animation in the browser
- Babylon.js: Full avatar support with physics and animation blending
- Ready Player Me Web SDK: Avatar creation and loading for web apps
- WebXR: Full-body avatars in browser-based VR/AR experiences
VR/AR Platforms
- Meta Quest: Use VRM or custom avatars with Meta Avatars SDK
- Apple Vision Pro: USD/USDZ format with ARKit integration
- VRChat: VRM or custom Unity avatars with performance ranking
- WebXR: Browser-based VR with glTF avatar support
Cross-platform strategy: Design avatars in glTF format first (the "JPEG of 3D"), then convert to platform-specific formats as needed. This maximizes compatibility and minimizes rework.
