Studio

In Studio, you can place the avatar wherever and at whatever size you like. The placed avatar still follows the expressions and hand movements the front camera tracks.

Placing the Avatar

Place the avatar by touching it directly:

• Tap: Select it
• Drag: Move it. It snaps to the center and edges of the screen
• Pinch: Change its size
• Rotate: Tilt it
• Touch and hold: Show the same menu as “More”

Tap outside the avatar to deselect it. Use “Undo” and “Redo” in the top row to step back and forward through your changes.

Using the Tools

When you select an avatar, the tools appear in place of the shutter:

• “Flip”: Flips the avatar horizontally
• “Hold”: Holds the avatar in its current body and head pose. The expression keeps following the tracking. Tap it again to go back to tracking
• “Posture”: Changes the turn, gaze, and body
• “Effects”: Adds an outline, shadow, wind, or freeze sway
• “More”: Shows the menu below

The “More” menu has “Focus Here”, “Duplicate”, “Bring Forward”, “Send Backward”, “Lock”, “Reset Placement”, and “Delete”. A held avatar also shows “Move This One”, which makes that avatar follow the tracking.

Posture

• “Turn”: Turns the avatar left or right with “Angle”
• “Gaze”: Choose “Follow Me”, “Eye Contact”, or “Pick a Spot”. With “Pick a Spot”, tap or drag on the image to choose where the avatar looks. Turn on “Eyes Only” to move only the eyes, not the head
• “Body”: Drag the markers on the head, hands, elbows, feet, knees, hips, and chest to move the body. Tap the hips or chest to rotate them. You can also choose the shape of each hand

For an image avatar, choose how much it sways with “Sway”.

Effects

• “Outline”: Draws a line around the avatar. You can choose its width and color
• “Shadow”: Choose “On Floor” or “Floating” and set the opacity. With “Floating”, you can also set where the shadow falls and how soft it is
• “Wind”: Blows the hair and clothes. You can choose the strength and direction
• “Freeze Sway”: Stops the hair and clothes in their current shape. They sway only while you press “Hold to Sway”

“Wind” and “Freeze Sway” work with VRM avatars.

Lining Up Avatars

Tap “Avatar” in the bottom row, then add an avatar with “Add” in the “Layers” tab. Besides avatars in your library, you can add VRM files and images with “Choose from Files” or “Choose from Photos”. How many you can line up depends on your device.

Moving the Camera

Use the camera button to the left of the shutter to change “Angle”, “Motion”, and “Zoom”:

• “Angle”: Look up at or down on the avatar with “Camera angle”
• “Motion”: Choose how the camera moves while recording from the “Scene” and “Avatar” motions. “Handheld Shake” can be combined with another motion. The camera moves only in videos and GIFs
• “Zoom”: Changes how much is in the frame

Focusing

Use “Depth” in the menu to blur what’s out of focus. When there are two or more avatars, touch and hold an avatar and choose “Focus Here” to focus on it.

Saving as a Pose

You can save a posture you made with “Body” using “Save as Pose” at the right of the heading. The saved pose is added to the avatar’s “Pose” list.

Pro Features

These features are available with Pro:

• Lining up two or more avatars
• “Effects”
• “Body”
• “Angle” and “Motion”
• “Save as Pose”

Except for “Save as Pose”, you can try them before you buy in a preview with a watermark. Tapping the shutter while trying one opens the purchase screen.
