Use tool ↗About Avaturn
Avaturn turns a few selfies into a rigged 3D character and returns it as a standard humanoid mesh, so Mixamo animation clips apply without retargeting work. It ships as an embeddable creator with SDKs for web, iOS, Android, Unity and Unreal, letting a studio drop the whole customization interface inside its own product. Exports open in Blender, Maya and Cinema4D for further editing.

Pros & cons of Avaturn
A studio-grade avatar SDK priced like one. The jump straight from free to $800/month means it only makes sense once player avatars are a shipped feature, not an experiment.
Pros
- Output is animation-ready with standard humanoid rigging, so Mixamo clips work immediately
- SDK coverage spans web, iOS, Android, Unity and Unreal
- PRO includes white-labeling and your own user management, so players never see an Avaturn login
- Around 10,000 documented look combinations from body types, hair, clothing and accessories
Cons
- $800/month entry price for the first paid tier is steep next to per-avatar competitors
- Overage at $0.15 per avatar compounds fast at consumer scale
- Public terms and privacy documents carry a January 2023 last-updated date
- No mid-tier between free evaluation and PRO
Best for
- Game studios letting players build a character that resembles them
- Social and virtual-world apps needing white-labeled avatar creation
- Unity or Unreal teams wanting a drop-in creator instead of building one
Not for
- Individuals who just want a single avatar for a profile picture
- Indie budgets, since nothing sits between the free tier and $800/month
Watch out: The free tier is evaluation-only — branding, your own auth and custom garments all sit behind the $800/month PRO plan.
