Avatars - Multiracial options?

I have a student who is using avatars in his Storyline project and the idea of multiracial options came up. Choosing between two (A or B) seems to limit things unless you use non-human characters. I'm wondering if there's a way to choose A or B, then have a second dimension to choose skin tone of the character, or if this would make things overly complex.

How have people in the community handled this?

    That's a fairly complex ask of a learner when you don't need to make it so. I would simply create four to six avatars of with various characteristics; use your personal knowledge of the actual makeup of the learner population and then move with that.

  • Thanks Joe. I was pretty much thinking that would be the case, but wanted to make sure I hadn't forgotten something.
