There's a few pieces to what's available, that we'll go through here. #### What avatars are available? Currently we've proved avatar implementation for the following collections: 1. Bored Ape Yacht Club 2. Meebits 3. Kodas 4. Moonbirds There are also individual avatars meshes available for the following collections: 1. Mutant Ape Yacht Club 2. Voyagers (Otherside) If you log into an experience with an account that has a wallet linked with a relevant token, you'll be able to select that avatar as your in-game character from the [Web Browser Avatar tab](/odk-docs/odk-plugin/web-browser.md). Both the Koda and Moonbirds collections also have unique Animation Blueprints to allow custom animations (beyond the standard Otherside animations set). More collections will be brought online as the ODK matures. #### How are the avatars implemented? To provide dynamic access to a vast array of dynamic characters, at runtime we download and encode the relevant character meshes from their [GLB](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GlTF) definitions. This implementation allows us to utilize our Carnival renderer which allows us to scale the number of unique characters in a world at once to 10,000+ ! #### How is it implemented within the ODK? Current supported avatar types are tracked within the `BPE_ODK_AvatarTypes` enum within Unreal. If you're interested in watching for avatar updates on players you can bind to the `BPMC_ODK_AvatarComponent::OnAvatarTypeUpdated` event for whenever a user's avatar type changes. This information is available on all players, and replicated in the background. There is also a `CurrentAvatarType` on the same component which will tell you the current avatar type for that player. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.otherside.xyz/odk-docs/odk-plugin/avatars.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
