Quickstart

Load your personal Ready Player Me avatar in Unity in less than 10 minutes.

Before you begin

  • Make sure you have downloaded and installed Unity 2020.3.0f1 LTS or later.

  • For this to work, you need to have Git installed on your machine, which can be downloaded from the Git download page. After installation, verify that the Git executable is in your PATH.

  • Restart Unity and open your Unity Project.

If you have an earlier version of the SDK installed, please refer to the migration guides.

When you import the package for the first time, you will be greeted with our Setup Guide editor window to guide you through the setup process.
