Avatar SDK Avatar API
The privacy policy lists Itseez3D, Inc.’s address as 5201 Great America Parkway, Suite 320, Santa Clara, California 95054, USA.
What it is
Avatar SDK Avatar API creates a rigged 3D avatar from one photo through a REST API. Customers can choose realistic or cartoon styles and head or full-body pipelines. The API returns GLB/glTF or FBX models with facial blendshapes; full-body models also include a skeleton and are compatible with Mixamo animations and LiveSpeak real-time lip-sync. The maker describes compatibility with Unity, Unreal Engine, Blender, three.js, and Babylon.js. Full-body generation takes about 40 seconds and runs asynchronously: an application submits a photo and checks later for the finished model. The API can run as a hosted cloud service or on-premise through Local Compute. Cloud REST API access is on the Enterprise plan, with pricing scoped to customer volume; a 7-day trial is listed. Documented limits are 75 requests per minute per unique PlayerUID in Client access mode and 150 per minute per account in Developer access mode. Access uses OAuth 2.0 tokens.
