5. Capture your essence (literally!)


Now comes the exciting part – creating a face for your avatar from a photo to reflect your unique features. VIVERSE offers three options for this:


・Take a selfie: Follow the on-screen tips and use either your computer's webcam or your smartphone camera (via a displayed QR code) to capture a clear and centered selfie.

・Use an existing photo: Already have a great photo of yourself? Skip the selfie step and upload it directly from your device.


・Use an existing face model (if applicable): VIVERSE stores previously used selfies as face models. If you've created avatars before, you might be able to find a suitable model readily available on the My faces tab. If you don’t want to use a picture and you don’t have any face models to choose from, you can also start creating your avatar with a default face model. Just choose one from the Default faces tab.


6. Personalize your look


Once you're happy with your face model, it's time to personalize your avatar’s look! Explore VIVERSE's extensive collection of clothing and accessories to create an outfit that expresses your personal style.


Customize your avatar with clothing and accessories

After you’re done crafting your avatar, click Save. This sets your creation as the default avatar for your VIVERSE experiences.


Managing your avatars


VIVERSE allows you to create up to 15 unique avatars, giving you the freedom to express different facets of your personality in different virtual settings and environments. To access and manage your avatars, simply click on your avatar profile picture in the top right corner of the VIVERSE website and select My avatars.



Here, you can set a preferred avatar as your default, delete avatars you don’t want anymore, or even export them as VRM files to use them on other platforms.
