This seems a good addition though I suspect that many of the users of the high end packages are already skilled in design or have suitable models to work with. I have to try and see if it fits into my &#8220;not quite a graphic designer but with aspirations&#8221; tool chain and it would be great to grab the custom me and pop it into Unity3d.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/epredator\/3903774873\/\" title=\"evolver epredator by epredator, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2562\/3903774873_e7cd64d3f5.jpg\" width=\"310\" height=\"500\" alt=\"evolver epredator\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/epredator\/3904559376\/\" title=\"evolver epredator face by epredator, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2558\/3904559376_8d38816263.jpg\" width=\"413\" height=\"500\" alt=\"evolver epredator face\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThis is a sample video the site makes for you with animation of the character too.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/download.evolver.com\/video\/?v=7783bfa9-6da9-431c-881e-bf1eb0c7af8d\" ><\/iframe><\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.feedingedge.co.uk%2Fblog%2F2009%2F09%2F09%2Fevolving-epredator%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><div name=\"googleone_share_1\" style=\"position:relative;z-index:5;float: right; margin-left: 10px;\"><g:plusone size=\"tall\" count=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.feedingedge.co.uk\/blog\/2009\/09\/09\/evolving-epredator\/\"><\/g:plusone><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been experimenting with many avatar creation sites recently for some projects.
