The upcoming Meta Avatars graphics overhaul is being examined by Meta staff.
VR fanatic Luna has noticed that some Meta staff’ Horizon profiles present a totally totally different avatar model to the present Meta Avatars, and supplied UploadVR with hyperlinks to independently affirm this.
The upcoming overhaul was first introduced with a CGI mockup by Mark Zuckerberg at Meta Join 2022 nearly two years in the past. On the time he stated it was coming in 2023, however that clearly did not pan out.
What Meta Avatars did get final yr was legs, in Horizon Dwelling and Horizon Worlds at the least, a big replace given that they had beforehand been broadly ridiculed for less than together with the higher physique.
The SDK for third-party apps acquired legs too in December, however they at the moment aren’t animated so builders must implement this manually, an arduous process none have but undertaken.
Meta’s Horizon Metaverse Avatars Lastly Have Legs
Meta Avatars in its Horizon Worlds “metaverse” platform now have digital legs.
Meta will doubtless launch or at the least announce the brand new overhauled avatars at Join 2024, which is able to happen on September 25 and 26.
