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.
Before getting started, ensure you have the following:
A account
A model link for your RPM character
A Unity project with the Convai SDK installed and working
Open Unity and navigate to Window > Package Manager.
Click the (+) icon and select Install Package from Git URL.
Enter the following Git URL and click Install:
https://github.com/readyplayerme/rpm-unity-sdk-core.git#f6ea3c4b0a8891b7c4c1d7b269cee545185549fb
Wait for the installation to complete.
In the Project Panel, navigate to: Assets > Ready Player Me > Resources > Settings
Right-click inside the folder and go to Create > Ready Player Me > Avatar Configuration.
This will generate an Avatar Config asset.
Select the created asset and, under the Inspector Panel, locate the Morph Targets section.
Click Add, select the required morph targets (Oculus Visemes and ARKit), and save the asset.
Locate Assets > Ready Player Me > Resources > Settings > AvatarLoaderSettings and assign the Avatar Config asset to the Avatar Config field.
Save the asset.
Navigate to Tools > Ready Player Me > Avatar Loader.
Paste or enter your RPM Model Link in the provided input field.
Click Load Avatar into Current Scene to import your character.
Select your imported RPM GameObject in the Hierarchy Panel.
Add the Convai NPC component to the GameObject.
Fill in the name and ID of the Convai NPC you wish to integrate.
Click Add Components inside the Convai NPC component.
Choose the components you want and click Apply Changes.
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.
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.
