With more than a billion avatars already created, this update from Meta promises to take personalization to an entirely new level. You will have access to a greater selection of body shape options, including two curvier body shapes.
Avatars have gained popularity on social networking sites, allowing users to convey themselves in a creative and entertaining manner. These virtual representations of users permit additional personalization and customization, including the selection of body type, hair, clothing, and accoutrements.
Meta, the owner of popular platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, has announced an upgrade for its users in an effort to boost their popularity across its platforms. It provides its avatars with improved hair and apparel textures. With over one billion avatars already generated, this release from Meta promises to take personalization to an entirely new level.
“One billion personas exist. Yesterday, we were able to publicly announce and celebrate this remarkable accomplishment. More than one billion avatars have been created by our technologies. In a blog post, the company stated, “That’s a billion times people have reimagined how they appear online, like wearing a suit and tie to meetings while wearing pyjamas in real life.”
PUMA and the company have collaborated to provide seven costumes to the Meta Avatars Store. Beginning this month, users will have access to a wider variety of body shape options, including two curvier body types, as well as apparel from prominent fashion, sports, and lifestyle brands such as Madhappy, the NBA, Prada, and Thom Browne. The sportswear will become available on May 1.
Additionally, the company has modified the avatars’ attire and hair texture. The tresses and clothing have been updated to add more authenticity and detail. It has also enhanced the lighting model so that eyes reflect light with greater brilliance.
