Character Avatar

Your character's avatar is their visual representation and the first impression they make on users. There are two ways to create an avatar: AI generation or uploading an image directly.

AI Generated Avatar

Follow these steps to create an avatar using Poly's AI generation:

• Upload a Reference Image (Optional)

While not mandatory, we recommend uploading a reference image to give the AI a better idea of your character's look.

• Write the Character Description

Provide a detailed description of your character. This helps the AI generate a more accurate avatar. You can write this description yourself or use Poly's AI to generate a draft, which you can then edit to your liking.

Prompt Tips:

• Be Specific: Clearly describe the character’s appearance, including physical features, clothing, and accessories. The more details, the better.

• Include Context: Provide context for the scene or setting to help the AI generate a cohesive image.

• Define the Mood: Specify the mood or atmosphere you want to convey in the image.

• Describe Actions or Poses: If your character is engaged in a specific action or pose, describe it clearly.

• Specify Colors and Textures: Mention specific colors and textures to ensure the visual elements match your vision.

• Choose Up to 3 Styles

Select up to 3 styles from Poly's 18 available image styles. The styles include Urban, Retro, Gorgeous, Frigidity, Fantasy, and many more. The AI will generate images based on your choices.

Poly will generate 6 avatar images for you to choose from. Review the images and select the one that best represents your character. If you're not satisfied with any of the AI-generated images, you can upload your own picture to use as the avatar.

Direct Image Upload

If you prefer to upload an image directly:

• Select and upload the image

Choose a high-quality image that represents your character well. Ensure the image is clear and visually appealing.

• Crop the Image

You can crop the uploaded images as you like to meet your different needs for profile photos, chat backgrounds, and profile covers.

The images you upload will be run through moderation filters, make sure the images don’t violate our guidelines to avoid failure setting.
