Does anyone know the requirements for obtaining the ability to make custom avatar items.
I believe RecRoom is hand picking who gets to use the beta of Avatar studio.
However they will be releasing avatar studio for everyone to try out (it’s modified blender), you will be able to make avatar items, but you won’t be able to upload them to RecRoom yet.
Like any of Rec Room’s recent features, I assume this’ll be some form of “split test” or whatever RR indicates it as.
As @NGCreate said, Rec Room is hand picking people to be able to use this. It will most likely be given out to companies, and staff first. then to the most trusted community creators. I don’t see this coming to the public in a while just like Rec Room Studio. Studio is still behind quite a big barrier for most people. Long story short, You will be waiting a long time for this to release to the public.
(This is my assumption of how this will work. It is NOT a factual post)
Update on my post:
I found their road plan on the stages (this is current and will go out of date eventually)
- Pre-release (DONE!): Pre-release testers (Sawhorse Interactive) can successfully build and publish items with Avatar Studio.
- Early Access / Alpha (NOW!): Hand picked early-access creators that have experience with Blender and 3D modeling, texturing, and rigging.
- Closed Beta: We will continually expand access to users with access to Rec Room Studio, implementing more features and collecting valuable feedback.
- Open Beta: Access to everyone! Avatar Studio will still be fixing bugs and adding polish for a confident full release.
- Full Release: All creators will have access to the full version of Avatar Studio!
