      How to create a custom 3D avatar for Animaze by FaceRig with Ready Player Me?

      Creating your own Ready Player Me avatar and importing it to Animaze takes just a few minutes. Here's how to get started:

      1. Go to animaze.readyplayer.me and click on Create an avatar. On the next page, you can specify your body type or choose to skip it.
      2. Take or upload a photo that will be used to generate your avatar. You can choose to continue without a photo and use a pre-generated avatar.
      3. Customize your avatar's outfit, hair, eyes, and more. Ready Player Me features over 300 customization options, with new ones coming every week.
