Ready Player Me is a metaverse avatar platform that lets users build custom avatars from photos or from scratch and use them across more than 900 apps and games. The company aims to make avatars portable across virtual worlds and to become the default avatar system for the metaverse. It plans to use the funding to scale its partner network and build monetization tools for developers, including avatar customization assets and NFT offerings. Future projects highlighted include NFT wearables and virtual fashion for avatars. Ready Player Me has partnered with brands such as Dior, New Balance, and Deadmau5 on avatar and NFT initiatives. The company reported platform adoption growth from 25 to 900 companies in 2021 and closed a $13M funding round to support expansion and monetization efforts. Wolf3D builds Ready Player Me, a virtual-identity platform that creates full-body avatars from a selfie which can be transported between multiple games. The product supports many artistic styles to fit different game genres and aims to modernize in-game social identity. The company plans to scale Ready Player Me from the browser to the smartphone with the new funding. Wolf3D began in 2014 as a full-body 3D scanning studio and launched its Luna 3D scanner in early 2016 to reduce avatar creation costs. The team says it cut the average avatar creation cost from about $400 down to almost $0 and opened an office in LA in 2016. Timmu Tõke is the founder and CEO.
