Ever Imagined Yourself in the Metaverse Reality?

The metaverse! is everywhere from online space to TVs, conferences, seminars, and even casual talks. The hype bomb of the metaverse is becoming extremely ubiquitous!

In case you are new to this buzzword, we are here to get you up to speed with the entire metaverse concept.

“A virtual space allowing the people to create their own customized avatars to create and interact with each other”.

Okay, wait, have you ever thought of creating exclusively your own multiverse from scratch? I mean, ever imagined yourself roaming in that alien land? 

There’s more…how about seeing your clone in your very owned meta environment? Oh! That really sounds interesting. Isn’t?  

Let’s dive deeper and discover how you can build your own “Meta World”.  

Just a heads up: the metaverse dream is desolate without avatars. Let us walk you through how avatars are an important building block of your meta world. 

Beginning With The Most Common Ask, “Can Metaverse Exist Without The Avatars?”

No, certainly not. 

Without the avatars, the metaverse will be empty. Above all, engaging in social interaction within the community is nearly impossible without expressing your digital identity of yourself.  

Therefore, for the metaverse to offer the same experience as the physical world, it needs avatars —a replica of yourself for an actual metaverse experience.

Avatars are your virtual self —a complete reflection of you. Any action carried out by the avatars is actually performed by you. Simply speaking, the person is represented as the avatar in the parallel world. Therefore, no avatar, no metaverse, and vice versa.  

But at the same time, you cannot jump straight into building your metaverse. 

Firstly, you need to imagine and define the type of metaverse platform you want. You can choose from a range of different platforms to experience the full potential of the virtual world. 

Take a look at the different metaverse platforms you can use to create your meta-universe. 

Live the Metaverse Reality With Your Avatar

After selecting your desired metaverse platform, let’s explore the different types of avatars that perfect your personality!

Choose your avatar type (basically, choose your type ;)

The coolest thing about the metaverse is the realistic avatars that are actually real people interacting in the virtual world. The avatars are inhabitants of the metaverse and therefore, define the overall meta experience.

With so many diverse varieties of metaverse avatars out there, take a closer look below and decide how you want your avatar to be.

• Full expression 3D avatars  
  

Among a couple of choices for avatars, 3D avatars represent a fully humanoid form that can be viewed from different angles.

Take a look at this picture featuring the metaverse 3D avatar. 3D avatars have:

• More refined features
• A diverse range of customization options including hair color, clothing, and many more

• Legless VR Avatars

A big curiosity around the VR avatars is whether or not it is a first-person rendition.

VR avatars allow users to see the world from an avatar’s point of view. Although these types of avatars do not look physically like the person in real life, they are made based on the person’s appearance.

These avatars usually have a torso part along with the arms. They don’t have lower limbs which leaves behind the height concerns of meta avatars and reduce users' annoyance with respect to their heights.

• Realistic full-body avatars

Full-body avatars are much more than just facial expressions!

Full-body avatars are highly developed with full-body sensors enabling complete body movement — that allows avatars to easily interact with digital assets. The freedom of movement within the virtual world feels like a dream that actually exists!

With regard to offering a real human-like experience in the virtual world, the metaverse company Spatial is promising to deliver tons of fun with its recent partnership with Ready Player Me.

Take a quick glance and see how it is evolving.

Spatial collaborates with Ready Player Me to bring full-body customizable avatars into the platform to give a more entrancing and reality-based experience in web 3.0.

With all these different choices for metaverse avatars, you can decide how you want to create a digital depiction of yourself and how you want to customize them to make them look exactly like you.

How Can You Make Your Avatar Stand Out?

In order to represent yourself as an avatar, make sure to express your identity in the digital realm as real as possible — as it holds a great value in the overall metaverse experience. 

For making this possible, your avatar ought to possess unique features to fan out your friends in the meta space.

The hyper-realistic 3D version of yourself roaming around the multiuser environment dressed up in digital clothes and accessories sounds pretty much exciting. So, it is vital to emphasize creating metaverse avatars that seem more naturalistic yet magical. 

• Customize your avatars just the way you like 

Customize your avatars as you want to see yourself rolling in the meta world. The best part is that you get access to unrestricted customization features for customizing the avatars to make them look exactly like the real YOU.

By all means, the idea of customizing your digital self like real life does sparks curiosity, right?

Be it skin tone, facial features, hair color, height, hairstyle, or clothing, a full makeover to express your digital identity just the way you want. 

In a nutshell, you can be expressive and more realistic with your embodiment or avatar in the virtual space with a range of customization options.

• Flexibility makes a great difference

Do you know, unlike other avatars, the metaverse avatars are not confined to just a single environment?

Surprisingly, No!

The metaverse avatars are not stuck in one environment but have the flexibility to walk through the different metaverses, just like galaxies that are still unexplored. But with metaverse, you can walk through multiple virtual dimensions without any hassle.

However, with the metaverse implementation of the different companies, you can move the avatar along with you with no hassle.

• Your avatars can make you money

Your avatars hold a true monetary value within the metaverse. To your surprise, the metaverse economy is entirely centered around avatars. The digital assets are excessively selling and valued commodities within the meta space.

You will be shocked to know that the digital-only Gucci Bag was sold for $4,115 on the gaming platform Roblox, more than the actual price which cost $3,400 IRL.

Alexis Ohanian, founder of Reddit took to Twitter about the shocking price of the Gucci 'Queen Bee Dionysus' bag.

Unbelievably, the growing desire of GenZ to express their unique personality in the virtual world is making them spend big bucks on virtual assets. 

In fact, the scarcity and valuable nature of avatars within the metaverse have made them highly valuable. All thanks to the blockchain technology and NFTs that have made the avatars and their associated goods profitable.  

Piqued enough about what can make your avatar pop out among all? Oh, and the money-making part for sure ;)

Let's now jump to another intriguing part of the blog: how to design your digital avatar?

Let’s Start Creating Your Avatars 

Who would want to enter into the parallel universe with such a boring identity? Obviously, No one! 

As much as people are concerned about reflecting their unique identities in the physical world, as much they are finding ways to make themselves look more fancy yet realistic. So, when it comes to making a realistic avatar, make sure you are well acquainted with the following rules.

Rule no 1: Make your avatar more cartoonish

Although metaverse avatars need to look as realistic as possible in the meta world, still, a little more realistic avatars seemingly do not suits the 3D environment of the metaverse. As the metaverse ecosystem is centered around 3D, your metaverse avatar reflecting a cartoonish impression is good to go within the virtual space. 

Rule no 2: Don't create multiple avatars within all virtual worlds

The metaverse is not just one virtual world but it is a network of different interconnected virtual worlds that people visits for fulfilling their different purposes.

For instance, if you want to join the virtual meeting at one moment and right after the other, you made up your mind to join the virtual gaming world, you should not be forced to create a new avatar identity every time when you enter a virtual world. 

Rather than indulging in a fuss of creating a new avatar every single time when entering the different virtual worlds, it is better to create a single virtual identity for traveling within the multiverse.

Rule no 3: Prefer designing full-body avatars

 Designing full-body avatars are much better than entering into the alternate universe with half-body avatars. Creating full-body avatars are more likely to reflect the real identity of the person and above all, they are best for creating a real and immersive meta experience.

Rule no 4: Avatars should deliver the same facial expressions

One of the most important things that matters the most while designing the meta avatars is the facial expressions. The better the facial expressions, the more natural will be the interaction within the virtual space.

While roaming around the metaverse, the eye movements and facial expressions everything needs to be synced to make the interaction more natural. For this to achieve, companies like Veeso and Emteq are working their best around the concept of facial expressions.

Rule no 5: Freedom of choice for expressing avatar identity

As the avatars are the virtual way of expressing identity in the multiverse, you should design the avatars as per your liking and preferences. From skin color to hairstyle, clothing, and other customization features, you can choose to design your avatar that matches your style and requirements. 

As everyone wants to have a distinctive identity of themselves in the meta world, you can try out these different metaverse avatars creating apps that will help you create your avatar exactly like the way you want.


After you are done with creating your avatars, it is now time to create your fully 3D metaverse space. Of course, who would not like to create a space with lots of lights, music, and buildings for an entirely crazy yet real meta experience?

 

Let’s Now Build Your Own Kind Of 3D Metaverse Habitat

The meta-universe needs to be as attractive as the real world since it is just the same as the physical world in which we live,  For a more intriguing and enthralling metaverse, the virtual objects and the 3D environment should give a vivid lifelike experience. 

When ruling the real world might seem like a dream to you, create your own exciting 3D environment and rule your digital dominion. 

Pumped enough to create own your 3D virtual metaverse habitat? Then go on and metaverse development:
 

1. Follow the architecture regulations as in the real world 
   

   In the real world, you are bound to follow certain regulations to design and build buildings. Likewise, you need to follow the architectural rules when building anything in the virtual world.

   Be it a single-room structure or a tall building, everything needs to be defined right off the bat to create your own new meta-universe. The design and construction of any property in the metaverse must follow a series of rules to make everything look less cluttered and organized. 
   
   

2. Incorporate GAN technology to create a realistic virtual environment
   

   Now, make use of Generative Adversarial Networks technology (GAN) to make the meta world look more realistic. 

   Now, what is GAN technology? GAN is a generative modeling approach used for developing a photorealistic environment using deep learning methods i.e. convolutional neural networks.

   The realistically generated virtual world with GAN technology will give a beguiling three-dimensional real and immersive experience and makes the 3D environment look and feel more real.
   

3. Offer a hypnotic experience with dynamic lighting effect
   

   Although the mutual combination of different technologies leads to offering a more realistic virtual experience, it doesn't mean that the lighting environment cannot create wonders.

   Technologies along with the dynamic lighting effect make the meta-universe look natural just like the real world. So, the answer to why adding a lighting element to the meta space is imperative is simple that is, to make it look more alluring.

   However, the illumination will produce a more naturalistic meta space which will contribute to a more dynamic and in-depth three-dimensional environment. 

   In fact, who would like to enter the metaspace that is dull? Absolutely no one. If you do? We doubt you. :’D
   
   

4. Make a bewitching soundscape with spatial audio

   Spatial audio is indispensable for a more comfortable and natural experience in the virtual meta world. Integrating a spatial audio technology into the metaverse will give users a 360-degree sound experience that will let them experience the “real environment”.

   As creating the virtual ecosystem is impossible without adding a sound element, it is important to enhance user immersion within the metaverse environment with the sound.
   

   
   

   
   Till now, as much as the idea of creating the meta space sounds exciting, it equally requires attention to detail for creating the world just how you imagined it. So, bringing your imagination to reality requires following some set of rules if neglected can cease your idea of ruling THE METAVERSE.

Final thoughts

As the metaverse has the potential to give life to the imaginations, you can choose your own platform, create your own avatars, and build a great experience with a bespoke 3D environment.

Therefore, it is imperative to partner up with a leading software development company InvoZone which offers exclusive metaverse services to bring life to your imaginations.
