[Props] are 2D assets that can be displayed or attached to the avatar screen.

The [Props] tab allows you to upload, delete, create, and remove props. Click the upload button to add props to the [Props List], and click the X button to delete [Props]. When you select a desired prop, it will appear on the screen, and you can remove it by clicking the remove icon or by right-clicking and selecting delete.

Uploading Props

You can use images stored on your computer as props in AvaKit. Follow these steps to upload an image as a [Prop]:

1. Click the [Props] tab in the item panel.
2. Click the upload button at the bottom of the props list to open the file explorer.
3. Select the desired image file format (.png, .jpg, .jpeg) from the file explorer.
4. The selected image will be added to the [Props List].
5. Click the desired prop in the [Props List] to generate it on the screen.

<aside> ⚠️ When you upload an [image], AvaKit saves the file path of the [image]. If you delete the original [image] or move it to another path, AvaKit will not be able to load the [image]. In this case, a message saying, "Please check if the file location has changed”, will appear. Ensure the [image] file is in the specified path, or upload a new [image] file to AvaKit.

Q : Can only image files (.png, .jpg, .jpeg) be used as props?

A : Currently, AvaKit supports only image files as props. Development is ongoing to support animated image files (.gif) and 3D model files (.fbx). However, the AvaKit development team has prioritized other functions that need to be considered before supporting more diverse file types. To use 3D props more effectively and beautifully, there may be functions like interaction or 3D backgrounds that need to be implemented first.

Deleting Props

To delete props in AvaKit, follow these steps:

1. Click the X button at the top right of the prop.
