Customizing avatar appearance

Choose hair and colors, refine facial features, and understand which appearance controls change body geometry.

Open Avatar → Edit Avatar to customize your avatar. Full Body contains hair and color options. Details contains local shape controls for the head and torso. Changes appear immediately in the viewport.

Set the base body and measurements before making fine appearance adjustments.

Hair and colors

Full Body setting	What it changes
Hair	The selected hairstyle. Choose None for an unobstructed view of the head.
Facial Hair	The selected facial hair style. Available choices depend on the base avatar.
Hair Color	Hair and facial hair color.
Skin Color	Skin tone.
Eye Color	Eye color.
Underwear Color	Underwear color.
Enable Fullbody Color	Displays the avatar with a full-body color override.

Colors change the display material. Hairstyles add visible geometry, so check the intended hairstyle when fitting helmets or headpieces. Hair does not automatically add clearance to a costume part.

Head details

Expand Details → Head to adjust these features:

Control	What it changes
Eye Size	The local size of the eye regions.
Eye Height	Their vertical position.
Eye Width	Their spacing across the face.
Nose Width	The nose from side to side.
Nose Length	The vertical length of the nose.
Nose Depth	How far the nose projects from the face.
Nose Height	Its vertical position on the face.
Mouth Size	The local size of the mouth region.
Mouth Height	Its vertical position.
Ear Size	The local size of the ear regions.
Ear Height	Their vertical position.

Make one adjustment at a time. Compare the front view for width and spacing, and a side view for projection. Match overall head dimensions before refining features with these sliders.

Torso details

Expand Details → Torso for Breast Size, Breast Height, Breast Projection, and Butt Size.

The breast controls work independently. Their midpoint preserves the base mesh’s original size, height, or projection for that control. Read Chest and breast shape for the adjustment order and examples.

Butt Size adjusts the local seat region. Check the side view and the transition into the hips and thighs, rather than judging it only from behind.

Face and torso detail sliders change avatar geometry. Recheck nearby costume parts after adjusting them. They are different from color settings, and their positions are not measured lengths, circumferences, or bra sizes.

Use appearance changes while fitting

Temporarily hide hair or attached parts when they obscure the body. In Full Body, use Show Costume to toggle attached costume pieces while editing.

After adjusting geometry, show the costume again and inspect clearance. Check a helmet near the nose and ears, or a breastplate near the chest. Use Fit Checker as an additional view of the gap between a part and the avatar.

Save a reusable appearance

Choose Avatar → Save Avatar, or Avatar → Save As to make another .avatar file. Use separate files for different wearers or clothing setups.

Avatar → Reset Avatar restores measurements and appearance settings. Save a copy before using it; it is broader than resetting one measurement. See Saving and reusing avatars.
