Avatar Toolkit 2 23: The Ultimate Tool for Puppet-Ready Toon Avatars



The VRCSDK3 Avatars package comes with Avatars 3.0, the latest avatar framework we offer for creation of both basic and advanced avatars with full customization. Check out Avatars 3.0 to learn more.

The announcement comes along with a Super Bowl-themed promo that will introduce Bengals or Rams-themed shirts that can be added to avatars for free, but only for a limited time. The jerseys and gear will disappear at the end of February after the experiment ends, and accounts won't get to keep any of the gear.


"We see the metaverse as this interconnected digital world, one that bridges VR, AR mobile and computer. Being able to offer avatars across all the platforms is one of our first steps towards making this vision for the metaverse a reality," Aigerim Shorman, Meta's GM of Avatars and Identity Distribution, said about the changes to CNET in a conversation over Zoom.


While the avatar tools are expanding to Facebook's other platforms, Meta still isn't allowing more than one avatar to exist per profile in any app. That possibility sounds like a future goal for Meta, but at the moment avatars are designed to be singular, and humanoid-based (customizations allow some flexibility, but nothing too out-there). "You can create different avatars on each of the apps, but right now you are not able to create multiple avatars within one app," Shorman confirmed, explaining that different avatars could stay across Messenger, Facebook and Instagram apps, or be synced to be the same.


Meta's head of Metaverse, Vishal Shah, told CNET last year that a big part of the company's avatar and metaverse strategy will be selling virtual items, either for virtual spaces or as avatar accessories. That still isn't happening here. According to Shorman, "It's a step towards that vision of finding something that's exciting and new for your clothes and accessories."


The avatars also won't seamlessly sync in the way you'd expect. Meta expects people to create additional avatars through its other apps which won't sync back to VR. Considering the much higher percentages of people using Instagram, Messenger and Facebook compared to VR, the move also seems to acknowledge that avatars may not even necessarily be incentives to get a VR headset at the moment. Instead, they seem more like metaverse placeholders for apps that don't have anything metaverse-like yet.


These avatars won't be AR-enabled yet, either, despite Facebook's promises of future AR glasses and a number of AR-enabled effects in Instagram and the company's video-chat-based Portal smart displays. That seems like an obvious move (Apple's had AR-enabled Memoji avatars for years now), but these avatars still can't be used to easily record animated messages from VR into apps like Instagram or Facebook, either. At least those features seem to still be in the works, at least according to Mark Zuckerberg's far-flung conceptual metaverse dream, which he introduced when the company changed its name last year.


In this post we will see the steps to move DP content using Content Library Transfer Tool. When I say DP content I am referring to the Distribution Point Content Library. This tool is a part of Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Toolkit R2 and is installed when you install this toolkit. The toolkit contains very good set of tools to help you manage and troubleshoot Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager. I am aware of this tool because I had used this tool earlier. One of the admins had installed the DP role on a new server and the content library was on C drive. When installing a Distribution Point role, if you do not specify the content locations for the content library and package share, it will be placed on the disk with the most free disk space. Now my job was to move the content from C drive to another drive.


You can also use Cartoon Animator 4 to animate yourself! It features a sophisticated set of motion capture tools so you can record a video of your avatar or someone else performing as the character. You can then transfer the actions and movements to the animated avatar.


One of the first steps for participating in any social network or online community is creating a digital image of ourselves, an avatar. We often have several avatars across many social networks. Some look like us and others are symbols or graphical representations of us. It is important we get our students to create digital avatars and reflect on their digital identities. I discuss this in my new book, Hacking Digital Learning Strategies: 10 Ways to Launch EdTech Missions. Below, are free web tools and apps students can use to create avatars. Find activities and tips in this post for Sprout English.


Generative AI will touch every aspect of the metaverse and it is already being leveraged for use cases like bringing AI avatars to life with Omniverse ACE. Many of these projects, like Audio2Face and Audio2Gesture, which generate animations from audio, have turned into widely loved tools in the Omniverse community.
