New site enables creation of customised animated 3D Avatars

The team behind behind Evolver, billed as the world’s first web based tool for building custom 3D character models, have launched a free website resource in Avatara.

The new site is designed specifically for social media enthusiasts, promising fast, easy creation and upload of customised, animated 3D avatars for use on Facebook, Myspace and the like.

Avatara users can choose from a gallery of over 700 user generated character designs, or mix and match faces, bodies, eye colours, makeup styles, hair styles to produce a 3D model that resembles themselves.

Users can then choose from a growing number of animated moods and actions to apply to their custom avatar.

"We had a growing population of social media enthusiasts on Evolver who wanted to have access to animated avatars because that allowed them to express their moods more artfully. We responded with a customized version that makes it fast, easy and fun for anyone to produce animated emotive avatars," said said Brian Nilles, CEO of Darwin Dimensions, makers of Evolver and Avatara.

Evolver.com provides a central portal to design, manage and transport digital avatars that can be deployed in virtual worlds, online games, social networks and professional animation and pre-visualisation projects.
