One of the biggest questions we get asked when it comes to our WebAR Builder is, “how do I prepare assets for my AR scene?” We’ve made it simple to access a library of free 3D models, avatars, and gifs through our Sketchfab, Ready Player Me, and Tenor integrations. But how about adding animations to make those assets move? Below we’ve outlined an easy-to-follow, step-by-step process using Blender and Mixamo to add a series of preset animations to Ready Player Me Avatars. It’s a solution so simple, anyone can do it – no code needed!
