Experienced users can skip or deactivate this tutorial for future avatar creation sessions. The option to reactivate the tutorial is available within the settings menu.
Please, adhere to the application’s guidelines for avatar capture. Below are some additional tips to guarantee optimal results:
Optimal Lighting Conditions¶
Ensuring that your face is brightly and evenly lit is crucial for high-quality avatar creation. Avoid:
low-light
light from the back
direct sunlight from the front causing
intense highlights
shadows (e.g. in your eye sockets)
Optimal lighting conditions can typically be found indoors, in front of a window, but ensuring you’re not facing the sun directly. The upcoming Copresence version drastically improves performance in less optimal lighting conditions and enhances texture quality.
Hair, Glasses, and Accessories¶
We are currently working hard on the scanning of more complex and long hairstyles. At present, the avatar recording process is optimized for shorter hairstyles or for long hair that is secured back, preferably in a bun. It is important to arrange long hair in such a way that it does not obscure your ears.
Prior to recording, please also remove glasses, headgear, earphones, large earrings, or other accessories.
Avatar Processing¶
Following the upload of your avatar, processing occurs on the Copresence cloud, typically concluding within 10 minutes. A thumbnail of the processed avatar will be displayed in the app upon completion. screenshot
Avatar Preview¶

The avatar can be rotated and zoomed for a closer examination. screenshot
