Avatar SDK Avatar API

What Avatar SDK Avatar API is

Avatar SDK Avatar API turns a photo into a rigged 3D avatar through a REST API. It offers realistic or cartoon styles, with pipelines for head or full-body models, and returns GLB/glTF or FBX files with facial blendshapes. Full-body avatars also have a skeleton and are compatible with Mixamo animations and real-time lip-sync through LiveSpeak. The maker describes the output as compatible with Unity, Unreal Engine, Blender, three.js and Babylon.js. Full-body generation takes about 40 seconds and runs asynchronously: an application submits a photo and polls for the completed model. The API can be used as a hosted cloud service or run on-premise through Local Compute inside a customer’s infrastructure. Cloud REST API access is on the Enterprise plan, with pricing based on customer volume; a 7-day trial is offered. Access uses OAuth 2.0 tokens. Documented request limits depend on access mode: 75 requests per minute per unique PlayerUID in Client access mode, or 150 requests per minute per account in Developer access mode. The maker recommends a clear, front-facing photo with even lighting and a neutral expression or slight smile.
