These avatars are pixel-style.

· Naming convention
-------------------

Please be aware when naming the body parts of avatar in order to well differentiate each part from another, it's required to name body parts with characters and numbers.

For example hand, eye, body, right arm, left arm, etc.

Create Skeletal Animation
=========================

· Make skeletal animation
-------------------------

At least two actions should be defined for each avatar, standing (idle) and moving (run) respectively. If you don't want to use mirroring animation, you can make it as idle-left, idle-right, run-left, and run-right.

It is recommended to use Spine or PS for designing, and if you feel it's too complicated to do it by yourself, please search for the relevant tutorials for reference.

· Naming Animation
------------------

Please use lowercase and numbers when naming, and use "-" to replace "space".

_Example:_

Export Skelton Name
===================

· Export Name
-------------

Please be noted that the name of the skelton should be exactly same as the name of the avatar you created, such as laalaa.

Please use lowercase and numbers when naming, and use "-" to replace "space".

_Example:_
