The Avatar Core framework is used to construct and display avatar characters from individual avatar assets (eyes, nose, mouth, etc.) and an XML descriptor file describing their relationships. The framework also supports the use of libraries for predefined selections of interchangeable characteristics, each of which whose graphical assets can be either defined within the hosted client application or loaded in dynamically at runtime. The XML descriptors make it easy to load, edit, and save avatar definitions to be used at a later time. Additional details regarding the framework is discussed in the Introduction section. For more information on how to get started with Avatar Core, see GettingStarted. Working demos using the framework is also available on the Demos page.
Avatar Core is an offshoot from My Avatar Editor (Blog). The primary goal of the Avatar Core framework is to provide an alternate platform to My Avatar Editor for developers interested in developing custom avatar editor solutions.
