Our verdict

Create realistic 3D avatars from a selfie, customize them, and export for games, apps, or metaverse projects.

Overview

Avaturn turns a 2D selfie into a recognizable realistic 3D avatar using generative AI. Users can customize body types, hairstyles, clothes, and accessories, export avatars as 3D models to Blender, Unity, Unreal Engine, Maya, or Cinema4D, and integrate runtime avatar creation via the Avaturn SDK/plugin with humanoid rigs, ARKit blendshapes, and visemes.
