Creating Your AI Simulation with Convai Sim

Bring your Convai characters to life by placing them into 3D interactive environments using Convai Sim

Introduction

Now that you’ve created a Convai character, it’s time to place them into a 3D simulation. With Convai Sim, you can bring characters to life inside immersive environments—fully interactive and embodied in high-quality avatars.


Getting Started

Follow this step-by-step guide to launch your first AI-powered simulation using Convai Sim.

1. Access the Playground

2. Create a New Experience

Click on “Create a new experience” to begin setting up your simulation.

3. Choose an Environment

Select an environment that fits your use case (e.g., office, museum, sci-fi room). Then click “Start Experience” to enter the Convai Sim.

4. Explore the Scene

Once the scene loads:

  • Use WASD keys to move around.

  • Use your mouse to look around the environment — just like in a first-person game.

5. Add an Avatar

Click the top-left icon to open the avatar menu. Then:

  • Click “Add Avatar”.

  • A hologram will appear — place it at the desired location in the scene.

6. Select Your Character and Avatar

You’ll be prompted to:

  • Choose your previously created Convai character.

  • Select a Metahuman avatar to visually represent that character.

7. Deploy the Character

Click “Deploy Character” to spawn the avatar into the environment. The avatar will now be active and ready to interact.

8. Add More Avatars (Optional)

Repeat the process to add multiple characters into the same scene and create more dynamic simulations.


Summary

You’ve now:

  • Created a Convai character

  • Selected a 3D environment

  • Embodied your character in a lifelike avatar

  • Brought them into an interactive simulation

With multi-avatar support, you can quickly build rich, AI-driven experiences—from training simulations and virtual tours to interactive stories and games.

Next, we’ll explore how to customize your avatars and scenes using the available tools.
