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 2021.3 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.

1. Import the Ready Player Me Unity SDK

Import the package via Window -> Package Manager -> + icon -> Add Package from git URL.

Paste this git URL into the input field

https://github.com/readyplayerme/rpm-unity-sdk-core.git

2. Enter your subdomain

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.

Here, you should enter the subdomain you get from Studio (Developer Dashboard). In the images below you can see where you get the Subdomain and App ID.

Open your Application

On the top you find the Application Details (Subdomain and App ID)

Then click the Next button.

Next, you can optionally adjust the analytics setting which is enabled by default.

Once you are happy with the settings, you can click the Finish Setup button.

In the Inspector you can find the RPM Player GameObject with the ThirdPersonLoader on it. Open it in your IDE to check out how the avatar gets loaded into the scene.

Also, it's worth checking out the PersonalAvatarLoader UI to see how everything is connected.
