Updating an avatar

Update an avatar​

Instead of creating a new avatar, you may want to edit one of your already existing ones. You can edit:

  • The name
  • The outfit
  • The head
csharp
async void UpdateAvatar()
{
    // You need to get you avatar metadata. You can do so by ID
    AvatarMetadata avatar = await session.GetAvatar(new Guid("YOUR_AVATAR_ID"));
    // Then update the fields you wish, in this case we are going to update the outfit
    // You can also update the name or head, if you wanted to
    avatar.OutfitId = new Guid("YOUR_OUTFIT_ID");
    // Send the request to update the avatar with the new fields
    AvatarMetadata updatedAvatar = await session.UpdateAvatar(avatar);
    if(updatedAvatar == null)
    {
        Debug.LogError("Error while updating the avatar");
        return;
    }
    // Import your updated avatar
    await AvatarImporter.ImportAvatarAsHumanoid(updatedAvatar, yourAnimationController);
    // ...
}
