# Rapport by Speech Graphics

This tutorial outlines how to import Copresence scans into [Rapport](https://www.rapport.cloud/why-rapport), a platform for AI-based audio and text-driven character animation by our partner [Speech Graphics](https://www.speech-graphics.com).

## Avatar Import
As a prerequisit, you need to have a Copresence account
and a recorded avatar with exports unlocked.
If you don't have an unlocked avatar, you may also choose the default 'Demo Avatar' which is added to every account and unlocked by default.

Also, you will need an account on Rapport that runs the Creator subscription.

If you have both things set up, proceed as follows.

1. Log into the Copresence web app and select your unlocked avatar.
Click the '...' and choose download.
Select *Rapport* and download the tailored *.glb* asset file.
2. Head over to your Rapport workspace and select or create your project. In the *Design* step navigate to the *Character* pane and under *My Characters* click *Create new Character*. A dialog opens.

3. In the dialog, choose *Character Upload* and upload your asset file retrieved in step 1. Select *Copresence* from the *Model type* list. In the viewer, you can position the scan to you liking.Click *Save Changes* to finalize the import.
