About
Avaturn is a generative AI-powered 3D avatar creation platform that transforms a 2D selfie into a realistic, fully rigged 3D avatar in seconds. Designed for both end users and developers, Avaturn bridges the gap between personal identity and digital representation across games, VR/AR, metaverse environments, and creative applications. Users can deeply personalize their avatar with over 10,000 possible looks — choosing from varied body types, hairstyles, clothing, and accessories. Each avatar ships animation-ready with a standard humanoid body rig, ARKit blendshapes, and visemes, making them immediately compatible with Mixamo animations and VTubing software. For developers, Avaturn offers a robust SDK and API that can be integrated as a runtime plugin into Unity, Unreal Engine, or custom apps, allowing players and users to generate their own in-game character likenesses. Exported avatars load seamlessly into Blender, Maya, Cinema4D, and other leading 3D environments. Avaturn is trusted by companies building VR software, AR applications, and AI-generated animation platforms. Its combination of photorealistic output, extensive customization, and developer-friendly integration makes it an ideal solution for game studios, metaverse builders, agencies, and content creators looking to deliver personalized avatar experiences at scale.
