MetaPerson Creator
MetaPerson Creator turns a selfie into a realistic or cartoon full-body 3D avatar in a browser. Users can change facial features and body shape, then select hairstyles, outfits and accessories. Exports are available in GLB, glTF and FBX, with a Humanoid rig and Mixamo-compatible animations. Listed destinations include Unity, Unreal Engine, VRChat and web apps. The creator can be embedded using an iframe and JavaScript API; API access is described as an Enterprise option. Documentation covers native iOS and Android integrations, and Unity samples span Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, WebGL and VR. The first avatar and export are free, while additional avatars use in-app credits. Pro costs $800 a month and includes 6 000 avatars per month; extra generated avatars cost $0.03 each, and generation continues after the quota. Enterprise pricing is quoted. Uploaded images may be processed as personal data; the privacy policy says they are not shared with third parties unless the user specifically requests it.
