Question

Avatars SDK for UE 5.6?

Hello,

We are developing a VR experience in which people can meet in a virtual space. Using Meta Avatars would be great for optimisation purposes (compared to MetaHumans).

If that's not possible, what VR character models are you using? The robot mesh with no legs in the Collaborative Viewer Template isn't ideal for our purposes. Ideally, we would like human characters with different hair colours, arms, legs and outfits.

Its still a  mystery to me as why Meta dropped support and don't care about porting its avatar to Unreal engine any more, its almost like a secret reason that they don't want no one to know about, they are more interested in developing their own editor for horizon world, and don't care about established game engines like UE that have been available for ages and support by many vr developers.🙄
