Avatar

A character's Avatar is the 2D image or 3D model that represents them within either their profile or the game world.

Organizing Characters in Unity & Unreal​

An Avatar also acts as a unique visual tile associated with the character, allowing you easily drag and drop characters into your scenes and communicate with them when working within Unity and Unreal Engine.

Changing a Character's Avatar​

To change the Avatar of a character, click their Portrait in the top-left corner of their profile.

This opens an interface where you can set both the character's 3D Avatar and their Avatar Image.

Sharing a Character​

To share a character, click on the Share button in the right side of their profile.

Share

You are then prompted to select a Username. This is the name that is associated with any characters you share.

Enter your name and press Save.

Profile Name

The toggle Set Visibility to Private prevents your name from being shown alongside your characters, making you anonymous.

In the next interface, define your sharing settings for the character and press Save.

  • Private prevents the character from being shared. This is the default setting for all characters until changed.
  • Unlisted un-lists the character from any online database, but makes it possible to share them with a link.
  • Public lists the character on Inworld Arcane, allowing anyone to view and interact with them.

Share Options

If you choose the Unlisted or Public options, you will be prompted to add a Subtitle, Categories, and Conversation Starters.

Share Details

  • Subtitle appears below the character to give more context to who they are.
  • Categories offer broad search categories that help others search for your character.
  • Conversation Starters contains general conversational advice and context that others might use to get the best interactions out of the character.

Once you have entered these settings, press Save to finalize the changes.
