Exciting new features have been launched for Avatar Maker, revolutionizing the ease of creating VRChat avatars directly in your web browser!
Avatar Maker is an avatar creation tool, one part of Hikky's mission to build a "virtual world where anyone can express their individuality". It makes avatar creation easier, and more fun. Anyone can easily create an avatar in a simple web browser with the same feel as creating a character in a video game, even without advanced modeling or setup knowledge. The avatars you create can be used in various avatar services including all VRSNS and other sites, or for use in Vtubing via VRM format.
This time, we are releasing a new feature that allows you to directly upload avatars created with Avatar Maker to the social VR platform service "VRChat." This allows anyone to easily upload avatars to VRChat from a web browser without using external tools, eliminating the hassle of creating an avatar in the Unity game engine and allowing you to easily enjoy your avatar in VR. You can also upload avatars to VRChat from your Android smartphone without using a PC. (iOS smartphones are not supported at this time, but keep checking back with Chrome or Safari).

There is a small fee for the direct upload function.
It's 1,480 yen (tax included) for uploading an avatar and 380 yen (tax included) for editing already uploaded avatar data. However... there's a free option!

We also now support exporting in UnityPackage format!
We will also be releasing a new feature that allows you to export avatars created with Avatar Maker in UnityPackage format. Until now, only VRM format data was supported, but by being able to export in UnityPackage format, you can upload avatars you have created to "VRChat" much more smoothly.
The package includes your customizations and is almost completely ready to go by simply clicking "Upload" in the VRChat SDK.
Please use this feature for items that cannot be uploaded directly (like creator collabs and more).
This feature is available free of charge.
