Astra SDK Kit for Additional Customization
“Delivering and monetizing customizable avatars is prohibitively expensive, difficult, and time-consuming. Our Astra SDK solves that problem,” said Jon Middleton, Chief Technical Officer of Tafi. “This Character UI Kit makes using our Astra SDK even easier — allowing for fast and easy deployment and the democratization of powerful avatar customization, while providing additional monetization opportunities for applications through in-app purchases of virtual avatar goods.”

Giving Time Back to Developers
Creating a full-featured character editor is a challenging undertaking but Tafi’s goal is to make avatar creation as widely accessible as possible. Beyond the development of the Astra SDK and smart asset technologies, Tafi has used its expertise in avatar development to create a robust UI that is available in their Character Editor UI Kit. This feature rich kit allows developers a ready-to-deploy interface and assets to match their game or application.
“The level of customization with our Astra SDK is unparalleled — with key features such as full customization of the face and body shape, smart content, and a fully customizable marketplace that includes support for virtual currencies to enable monetization. We also provide tools for creating content and a massive pre-built content library with multiple styles coming soon to simplify digital asset creation,” said Ty Dupperon, COO of Tafi. “Our UI Kit makes it fast and easy to implement all of these features into the UX / UI of any standalone application or embed within an existing project or application.”
Tafi’s Astra SDK will continue to evolve with updated feature releases including: additional styles of wearables, new Avatar styles, video conferencing, and video sharing.
