Genies Avatar SDK
genies.com
What it is
Genies Avatar SDK lets developers add Genies avatar technology to standalone Unity projects on iOS, Android, and Windows. Avatars can be loaded from a user's Genies account, a local definition, or a default definition. The Avatar Editor framework and customization APIs let developers change and save avatar definitions, including wearables, body size, hair color, colors, and facial or body features. Users can browse inventory and save avatars to a profile. Progressive loading begins with a silhouette, then shows lower-resolution assets before the full-fidelity avatar. Developers can submit custom wearables through the Developer Portal UGC pipeline, and those items can be gifted to users. The SDK supports Unity 2022.3.62f2 or later, including Unity 6, and documents Cinemachine 3 support. It is free for developers and end users, including commercial projects. Developers and users currently need Genies accounts. Games may be reviewed for security and performance, and require approval before becoming available. The EULA prohibits using the SDK to train or fine-tune AI or machine-learning models.
