Using an Animaze avatar doesn’t mean your avatar will look like everyone else’s. Rest assured you can put your creativity to work! Here’s how you can customize your avatar to match your personality.

1. Click on the Avatars icon in the left menu. Select an avatar and the customization drawer will automatically open.

 

2. The Customizations drawer has four tabs. You can navigate to each to change colors, size, or textures. 

 

TIP: Use the color wheel to select a specific color or hexcode for the avatar.

5. Click on Save to keep your newly customized avatar.

Retexturing your avatar

In addition to changing your avatar’s color, go further and customize your avatar’s texture. 

In the Customization drawer, navigate to the Textures tab. 

The Textures tab will list all avatar textures that you can replace. The Diffuse Texture is the easiest and most visually impactful texture to use. If you want to embellish the existing Diffuse Texture in an editing program such as photoshop or paint, click “Get Texture” button to download the texture source file. Alternatively, you can find or create your own texture from scratch. 

Replace the original texture with your updated texture image by clicking “Set Texture” button. You can replace a texture with any common image file format (e.g., .png, jpg) even gifs for an animated look. For best results, use a square image. 

Select the textures from the folder on your computer.

Click save and enjoy your re-textured Avatar.

Note: For most avatars, replacing the diffuse texture will have the most noticeable effect. Uploading a new diffuse texture will effectively re-skin your avatar. Experiment by uploading new textures to create your own one-of-a-kind avatar!

If you want to reset your avatar to its default look, click ‘Reset all Textures’.  To learn about Diffuse and Normal textures, check out our technical documentation.
