Avaturn
What it is
Avaturn is a realistic avatar creator and avatar system for games, apps and metaverses. Its generative AI turns a 2D photo into a recognizable 3D avatar, which users can customize with body shape, clothing, accessories, hairstyles, shoes and glasses. The site says users can create more than 10,000 looks. Avatars can be exported as 3D models for Blender, Unity, Unreal Engine, Maya, Cinema4D and other 3D environments. They include a standard humanoid rig, ARKit blendshapes and visemes, and are compatible with Mixamo animations and VTubing software. Developer tutorials and SDKs cover Unity, Unreal Engine, HTML and JavaScript, including Three.js, Android and iOS. The listed integrations are free, with no limits on avatar creation or exports. The API and web SDK require a paid package: PRO costs $800 per month. Unity supports WebGL and Android/iOS; Windows and Mac standalone use requires contacting Avaturn. The native Unreal SDK is in beta and requires a paid plan.
