Create an avatar that resembles you. Take a selfie or use an existing photo or face model to create your realistic avatar. Since these models are built from a photo or scan, their recognizable appearance requires fewer edits. Small touch-ups and clothing options keep the focus on an avatar that feels close to the real you. Here's how to create a realistic avatar:

  1. On your computer’s web browser, go to VIVERSE and click the Avatar icon on the left-side menu.

     
  2. Sign in or create a new account, then click Create new avatar.
