I couldn’t be more excited about the launch of the game in 2 days (!!) and decided to build this cyberpunk-themed avatar creator for all of the impatient fans out there.

You can create a lookalike cyberpunk character from a selfie, customize hair, clothing, tattoos, etc and export an awesome render you can share on socials or use as a profile pic.

It’s free, of course, and works on the web.

Create your avatar, and show us the results!

I've never seen a character system quite like it, especially running on the web. Love that you can actually grab the resulting 3D asset from it in addition to the render provided.

So what's next for it? Integrations into games?

Yess, we're already integrating this into 30 different games and apps. The goal is building a cross-game avatar platform and a standard for avatars.
Sick!! Well this makes perfect sense looking at the big bucks fortnite makes every month on cosmetics
