Introduction

Create your own digital twin using Avatario's AI technology. Custom avatars offer a personalized experience for applications where brand identity or personal representation matters.

Image Requirements

Camera Setup

  • Resolution: Use 720p (1280×720) or 1080p (1920×1080)
  • Frame Composition:
    • Shoot from waist/chest up with face centered
    • Maintain consistent distance from camera (face should occupy 30-40% of frame height)
    • Avoid extreme closeups or distant shots
  • Lighting:
    • Use diffused, front-facing lighting
    • Eliminate shadows on face
    • Avoid backlighting or mixed temperature lights
  • Background:
    • Solid color preferred (white/neutral recommended)
    • No patterns/textures that distract from subject
  • Look:
    • Avoid glasses, high-collar shirts and accessories on or around the face
    • Make sure long hair is tucked back into a bun and does not come around the face

Training Process

  1. Consent: Before providing a training image, you must record a consent video stating that you permit Avatario to use your likeness.
  2. Submission: Upload the image through the Avatario upload portal.
  3. Processing: Our system will process your image and generate a custom avatar.
    • Typical generation time: 12-15 hours
    • You'll receive an email notification when your avatar is ready
    • Failed submissions will specify rejection reasons (facial obstructions, lighting inconsistencies)
  4. Integration: Once completed, the avatar will appear in the Custom Avatars section on your dashboard with a unique face_id that you can use for real-time lip-sync in your applications.

Best Practices

  • Provide High-Quality Input: Better input images lead to better avatar quality
  • Follow Guidelines Precisely: Skipping guidelines is the most common reason for rejection
  • Test Thoroughly: After creation, test your avatar with various types of speech and content
  • Consider Multiple Avatars: For different contexts or brand representations
