Creating (UGC) Content in Studio

The Open Avatar Studio isn’t just for equipping avatars and wearables — it’s also a content creation tool. Use the built-in animations and camera to record videos and capture photos of your 3D avatar, perfect for sharing on social media or with your community.

​
The Studio Toolbar

At the bottom of the Studio, you’ll find four icons:
  • Eye — toggles the wearable panel and other UI elements on or off, giving you a clean view for content capture
  • Emote — opens the animations panel where you can trigger emotes and dances
  • Music — controls background music
  • Camera — opens the recording toolbar for capturing photos and video

​
Playing Animations

Click the Emote icon to open the animations panel. You can browse animations by category using the tabs at the top:
  • All — shows every available animation
  • Emotes — reactions and expressions like Bow, Clap, and Wave
  • Dance — full dance animations like BBoy
Click any animation to play it on your avatar in real time. The animation will loop or play through depending on the type. Select Idle to return your avatar to its default standing pose.
Animations play immediately when selected. You can switch between them freely to preview before recording.

​
Recording Video

Click the Camera icon to open the recording toolbar. Before you hit record, choose your format:
  • Square — ideal for Instagram posts and profile content
  • Portrait — vertical format for Stories, Reels, and TikTok
  • Landscape — widescreen format for YouTube and Twitter/X
To record:
  1. Select your preferred format from the recording toolbar
  2. Set up your shot — use click and drag to rotate the camera around your avatar, and scroll to zoom in or out
  3. Open the Emote panel and choose an animation
  4. Click the Record button (white circle) to start recording
  5. Click it again to stop
Your recording will be saved and available for download.
For the cleanest footage, click the Eye icon first to hide the wearable slots and UI before recording.

​
Capturing Photos

You can also use the Studio to capture still photos of your avatar. Position your camera angle, trigger an emote, and use the Download button in the top-right toolbar to export a snapshot as your profile picture or to share.

Tips for Great Content

  • Rotate your camera before recording to find the best angle — try a low angle for dramatic shots or a close-up for detail on wearables
  • Zoom in on specific wearables or accessories to showcase them
  • Combine emotes with camera movement — start an animation, then slowly rotate for a dynamic clip
  • Use the clean view (Eye icon) to remove all UI overlays before capturing
  • Try different formats for different platforms — square for feeds, portrait for stories, landscape for banners
