LIV Supports Full-body Avatars

Liv has supported streaming with avatars for some time. However, finding a unique avatar for yourself was no simple task. Now, Liv has partnered with avatar maker ReadyPlayerMe to make it as simple as can be. ReadyPlayerMe allows you to build a free full-body avatar (optionally based on a photo of yourself) in mere minutes. You can use the avatar as the character in select Liv-supported VR games, allowing stream viewers to see your movements in third person.


Avatars from ReadyPlayMe are moderately customizable, and easy enough to get something you’re happy with relatively quickly, though we hope to see more customization options in the future (like height, build, and more control over outfits). You can make your own ReadyPlayMe avatar to import to Liv right here. If you want to download your avatar for some other use, you can make one here and download it at the end of the process as a .GLB file for use in other applications.
