⬆️Upload an Avatar

This section will teach you how to upload a Meta Prefab.

What is a "Meta Avatar"?

A "Meta Avatar" is a type of Meta Prefab that can be uploaded through Unity and linked to your account. Using avatars you can customize how you look within the REACH Explorer across spaces that support custom user avatars.

Before getting started, make sure you've properly installed the SDK and created an account!

Follow the prefab upload instructions to understand how to create a Meta Prefab first.

The only field you need to worry about for Avatars is the Is Avatar field. Make sure this is checked.

Make sure your avatar has an Animator component on it, with the Avatar field assigned.

Select the "Build Platforms" that you want this prefab to support, and then select "Build & Upload" to upload the avatar prefab.
