Resource for free/low-cost avatars

Hi Jim,

This thread contains some resources that might be helpful to you.

There's also this discussion where folks share sources where you can buy images of people with various expressions and poses.

If you need your avatars to move and talk, Xtranormal is a tool that some folks in the community have used and liked. Here are a couple screencasts, showing examples that Zara  and Laura shared.

hi Jeannette,

looks like the links don't work anymore?

thanks!

Hi Phil,

Here are the updated links:

Looks like JB's links had an extra space at the end which was causing the issue.

Jim,

Did you ever find an answer???

Don't really need them any longer... We just laid off half of our staff so I won't have time to do anything with avatars anyway.

Any job openings anywhere where I can work remote from Minneapolis?!  :o)

Jim,

Sorry to hear this.  Was caught up in a similar situation early last year. 

Have you looked at the jobs posted at Society for Applied Learning Technology (http://www.salt.org/)?  Also there was posting in the forum recently.

Good Luck!

That's no fun, Jim.

I've been there myself. Just remember that things have a way of working themselves out sooner or later as long as you keep moving forward.

Good luck!
