Walking (motion) Avatar: Advanced Instructions

Video Length: Aim for at least 3 minutes of footage

Recommended (1080p at 30 FPS): This is our standard recommendation for creating high-quality avatars with great detail and manageable file sizes.

Maximum (4K at 60 FPS): If you need the highest possible video fidelity for a premium output, this is the setting for you.

Camera Position: Keep your head centered in the frame at all times.

Lighting: Use soft, even lighting to avoid shadows. Natural light or softbox lights work best.

Background: Make sure no other faces are in the shot – just you!

Head Position: Your head should remain in the center of the screen. Avoid quick or sudden movements.

Face Visibility: Keep your face visible at all times. Do not cover your mouth with your hands or any objects.

Angle: Try and keep a front-facing angle. You can slightly turn your head up to 30 degrees, but front-facing is recommended.

Stability: Avoid shaking the camera. Use a tripod or stabilize your phone to ensure a steady shot.

Speaking: Speak naturally and clearly. Make sure your lips are visible.

Movement: Feel free to sit, stand, or walk, but keep your face in the frame and well-lit.

Expression: Use a variety of facial expressions to give the AI more data to work with.

Sound: Clear audio is crucial. Use a Bluetooth mic for better voice quality.

Clothing: Wear solid colors to avoid distractions. Try and avoid patterns that can cause visual noise.

Environment: Choose a quiet space with consistent lighting.

Fast Movements: Avoid quick movements to keep the footage clear.

Poor Lighting: Steer clear of backlighting or harsh shadows.

Camera Angle: Keep the camera level with your face – don’t tilt it excessively.

Tailor to Your Use Cases: Act out specific scenarios you’ll use your avatar for, like presentations, vlogs, or customer service.

Maintain Consistency: Keep your expressions, tone, and gestures consistent to help the AI learn your mannerisms.

Optimize Your Setup: Use the best lighting, background, and camera settings for high-quality footage.

Variety in Expression: Show a range of emotions and expressions for a richer dataset.

Take Your Time: Don’t rush. Speak clearly, move naturally, and capture your unique traits accurately.
