I made an avatar of myself with a 3d scanning app for IOS

That looks hyper realistic, what a great job! It might not be everyone's cup of tea to have an avatar replica of themselves, but I love the idea and the work behind it😸

I am ambivalent. It is cool. It isn't for me to do personally (like others have said). I don't think it is too uncanny valley, but maybe it would be in person in SL. I'm pretty much "you do you" for SL.  I'm also with whoever said a reverse app???! To make me look like my avatar irl. Oh god yes, especially the perfect hair, makeup, skin 24/7.  I'd give up a kidney and a few other body parts for that!

Oh my. Thats nothing but great.
While i wouldnt use it for SL, im pretty sure i would start playing GTA a little, messing with cops, being me

I think it's cool, I would try it ! By the way since you digitally transformed your real life body into game, you can make yourself looking as cool as you want. Who wouldn't like that?

While this technology is outstanding, it's not my cup of tea. Bravo for having the patience and bravery to do this though haha.

Well you’re still a good age. Some of older people like to run around looking like we’re 20something still 😆😆

I vote cool...that's great!

I've been thinking about playing Second Life as myself for quite some time. It's a fun experience to see yourself in a virtual world, especially when you are on a lockdown during a pandemic. The problem was, I'm not a 3d artist, so I couldn't model myself from images. And I'm a very lazy person, so I didn't want to search for a studio to get myself scanned...

So I used an app designed specifically for 3d scanning of people, [Moderator Edit: Advertising Link Removed] and here's the result:

The idea is pretty simple. You let your phone stand on a flat surface and record a video of yourself turning around:

This might be exactly what I need. I want to have an avatar just like me in the game.
