How To Recolor Textures

Avatar SDK Local Compute unity plugin v3.1.0 allows recoloring body and haircut textures at runtime:

Haircut recoloring

Add the HaircutRecolorer component to an object with a haircut mesh renderer. Basic properties should be automatically detected.

• Enable Recoloring: disable it to revert an initial color.
• Color: target color, to which a haircut is recolored.
• Recoloring By Material: material that is used to recolor a texture. We don't recommend to change it.
• Material To Recolor: material which mainTexture is recolored. By default it is taken from a sharedMaterial of a haircut MeshRenderer.
• Texture To Recolor: a texture that is recolored.
• Color Picker: ColorPicker UI control for selecting a color. Can be None.

HaircutRecolorer uses an average color from the texture as a default color. If you invoke HaircutRecolorer.DetectDefaultColor method by passing an avatar code, it will tries to find the "Hair Color" value in Model Info file and will use it as a default color. If itsn't found, an average color will be used.

Skin recoloring

Add SkinRecolorer component to an avatar object. Basic properties should be automatically detected.

• Enable Recoloring: disable it to revert an initial color.
• Color: target color, to which a skin is recolored.
• Recoloring By Material: material that is used to recolor a texture. We don't recommend to change it.
• Material To Recolor: material which mainTexture is recolored. By default it is taken from a sharedMaterial of a head MeshRenderer.
• Texture To Recolor: a texture that is recolored.
• Color Picker: ColorPicker UI control for selecting a color. Can be None.

SkinRecolorer uses an average color from the texture as a default color. If you invoke SkinRecolorer.DetectDefaultColor method by passing an avatar code, it will tries to find the "Skin Color" value in Model Info file and will use it as a default color. If itsn't found, an average color will be used.
For better results we recommend to use a default skin color from the Model Info.
