Using a custom 3d avatar in my project

Unity Questions
1

I don’t want to use the default avatar in my project—I need to create my own 3D avatar. Is it possible to download an avatar from online and use it as my character in the project? Or can I use a Ready Player Me avatar as the NPC character? Also, how can I access the character I created on the Convai website (with the background added) and apply it as an NPC in my current project?

Can I simply copy the NPC character (Convai NPC ram moorthy

) and paste it into the scene where I’m working on my project? Will this work?

Hello @Blank,

Characters created in Avatar Studio cannot be imported into Unity. However, you can use custom characters or Ready Player Me avatars without any limitations.

The Convai SDK automatically installs the Ready Player Me SDK, making the setup even easier. Simply create your avatar on the Ready Player Me website, copy the character’s URL, and use it in Unity to import your character. After importing, you can then add the ConvaiNPC component, capsule collider, and any other necessary components.
