# Importing Ready Player Me (RPM) Characters
## **Introduction**
Ready Player Me (RPM) allows users to create and customize 3D avatars easily. By integrating RPM characters into Convai's Unity SDK, you can bring dynamic NPCs to life with advanced AI-driven interactions. This guide covers the step-by-step process to set up RPM characters in your Unity project with Convai.
## **Prerequisites**
Before getting started, ensure you have the following:
* A [**Ready Player Me**](https://readyplayer.me/) account
* A **model link** for your RPM character
* A **Unity project** with the **Convai SDK** installed and working
## Step-by-Step Guide
### Step 1: Install Ready Player Me SDK in Unity
1. Open **Unity** and navigate to **Window > Package Manager**.
2. Click the **(+)** icon and select **Install Package from Git URL**.
3. Enter the following Git URL and click **Install**:
`https://github.com/readyplayerme/rpm-unity-sdk-core.git#f6ea3c4b0a8891b7c4c1d7b269cee545185549fb`
4. Wait for the installation to complete.
### Step 2: Configure the RPM Avatar
1. In the **Project Panel**, navigate to: **Assets > Ready Player Me > Resources > Settings**
2. Right-click inside the folder and go to **Create > Ready Player Me > Avatar Configuration**.
3. This will generate an **Avatar Config** asset.
4. Select the created asset and, under the **Inspector Panel**, locate the **Morph Targets** section.
5. Click **Add**, select the required morph targets **(Oculus Visemes and ARKit)**, and save the asset.
6. Locate **Assets > Ready Player Me > Resources > Settings > AvatarLoaderSettings** and assign the **Avatar Config** asset to the **Avatar Config** field.
7. Save the asset.
### Step 3: Import the RPM Character
1. Navigate to **Tools > Ready Player Me > Avatar Loader**.
2. Paste or enter your **RPM Model Link** in the provided input field.
3. Click **Load Avatar into Current Scene** to import your character.
### Step 4: Integrate Convai Components
1. Select your imported **RPM GameObject** in the **Hierarchy Panel**.
2. Add the **Convai NPC** component to the GameObject.
3. Fill in the **name and ID** of the Convai NPC you wish to integrate.
4. Click **Add Components** inside the **Convai NPC** component.
5. Choose the components you want and click **Apply Changes**.
6. Attach a **Capsule Collider** to the GameObject and configure its **size** and **center** to align with the character's body proportions. Ensure that the collider accurately encapsulates the character for optimal physics interactions and collision detection.
7. Assign an **Animation Controller** to the Animator component of the GameObject. The **Convai SDK** offers two predefined animation controllers (**Feminine** and **Masculine**) that you can use. Alternatively, you can integrate a custom controller tailored to your requirements.
