Customizing Your Avatar

PreviousAvatar 2.0 FAQNextAvatar Emotes

Last updated 1 year ago

Note: You can customize your avatar in both Desktop mode and VR mode, and all customization features are available in both modes. The arrangement of panels and icons in VR has been made more compact, and is available in your left hand during customization.

After you and log into Sansar, you can choose from a selection of custom avatars or customize the look of a new avatar. This article will focus on customizing an avatar. To begin customizing your avatar:

  1. Choose Create > Style my avatar from the main menu.

  2. Select an avatar from the Lookbook. If none are available, choose Create new look to add a default avatar to the list.

  3. Click Customize to begin customizing your avatar.

Customization options

During avatar customization, there is a panel on the right side of the screen that contains several tabs. Each of these tabs either provides controls to alter your avatar's appearance, or provides access to clothing, hair, and accessories from your inventory.

Alternately, you can click Randomize in the bottom-left corner of the screen to let Sansar choose a random assortment of appearance settings and default clothing.

Avatar

This tab includes two sub-tabs at the top: Avatar type and Options:

  • Avatar type - Choose the male or female silhouette to use a standard male or female Sansar avatar. These avatars can be adjusted further using the other appearance tabs. If you have purchased any custom avatars from the Sansar Store, you may select them here.

  • Scale - You can adjust the avatar's size to be bigger or smaller. Note that you can only adjust the size of the avatar uniformly.



Hairstyles


Face

This tab provides direct face manipulation tools and sliders to control the shape of your avatar's face and allows you to change your avatar's skin and eye color. Note that all face tab features are only applicable to Sansar's default avatars.

Face presets

First, pick a face from the Face Presets list. You can use one of the face presets or modify it further by clicking on the face of the avatar. Click a thumbnail image to select a face preset, or click it a second time to remove it.

Once you've modified a face preset, you also have the option to save your changes as a preset so you can access it easily again later. In future updates, you will be able to sell face presets you've created in the Sansar Store.


Face deformation tools & sliders

The bulk of editing a face is done by clicking on the area that you want to adjust. Hover your cursor over the face to reveal highlights that show which areas will be affected by clicking and moving that highlighted area.


Above the head, you will find the four deformation level modes and translate, rotate and scale buttons.

The four deformation levels consists of:

  • Head - Allows you to modify the entire head.

  • Section - Allows you to modify large sections of the face.

  • Feature - Allows you to go deeper and modify facial features.

  • Part - Allows you to go even deeper and fine tune specific parts of facial features.

The tools available are:

  • Translate - Allows you to move the highlighted area up, down, front, back, left and right. You can click on the icon or press W to select translate.

  • Rotate - Allows you to rotate the highlighted area in different directions. Note that rotate has been disabled for some highlighted face parts. You can click on the icon or press E to select rotate.

  • Scale - Allows you to resize the highlighted area bigger or smaller. You can click on the icon or press R to select scale.

You can edit your avatar further with the sliders in the inventory panel. However, these sliders are meant for fine details that are not achievable by clicking and dragging on the avatar face. They are not meant for deep modification of the face.

Skins

On the Face tab, you can access a selection of skins, which will be applied to the entire avatar. Click a thumbnail image to select a skin, or click it a second time to remove it. In future updates, you may be able to add your own skins.

Eye color

On the Face tab, you can access a selection of eye colors, which will be applied to both of the avatar's eyes. Click a thumbnail image to select an eye color, or click it a second time to remove it. In future updates, you may be able to add your own eye colors.

Clothing

Choose articles of clothing for your avatar to wear. Click a thumbnail image to add that clothing to your avatar, or click it a second time to remove it.


Accessories

The accessories tab works the same way as the Clothing tab, except that accessories are typically smaller items such as glasses, jewelry, or other adornments. Accessories can be further sorted by clicking the icons at the top of the panel: glasses, earrings, necklaces, watches, and rings. Click a thumbnail image to add that accessory to your avatar, or click it a second time to remove it.


Animation


The Worn Items panel

The Worn Items panel lists all hair, clothing, and accessories that your avatar is currently wearing. You can quickly find and remove any of these items from your avatar by clicking the minus button next to the item's name.


Note: If your avatar is wearing an item that has been deleted from your inventory, it will be available on the worn item panel until you remove it. Once you've removed the item, you will have to add the item back in your inventory to wear it again.

Where to get clothing, hair, and accessories


If you are a creator, you can import your own creations to Sansar by following the instructions in these articles:
