Avatar - Free 3D Avatar for Real!










Avatar - Free 3D Avatar for Real!

Avatar is a web user's representation, whether in the form of a 3D model used in computer games, a 2D icon used on Internet forums, or a text construct found on early systems. The term "avatar" can also refer to the personality connected with the screen name, or handle, of an Internet user.

There are two kinds of avatars, 3D and "holographic". A "holographic" avatar is simply a collection of eight views from different angles (front, front-left, left, back-left, etc). Some of the holographic avatars that come with WorldsPlayer are based on photographs of members of the original Worlds Chat development team in various costumes.

IMVU is an innovative chat program that also contains "MySpace"-like social networking elements. Although all users can visit the site's Web pages and see the previews, only PC users can actually download the software to participate in the virtual worlds.

Yahoo! Avatars is a public Yahoo!, Inc. service to display personalized character images, called "avatars." Yahoo! Avatars are personality images, available for websites HTML display, in profiles and in Yahoo! Messenger.

WorldsPlayer supports standard 3D chat features, such as the ability to "whisper" to other users, mute people who are annoying you, and so on. By default, any text you type is displayed only to the 8 avatars closest to you. In addition, one-to-one voice chat is supported. The WorldsPlayer server also provides a built-in "mail" system to leave messages for other players who are not currently online.

Myspace offers free Avatar icon.
