How to Create a Meez Avatar
Meez is a 3D character creation service that allows you to create an avatar. Your avatar can look like you, or you can let your imagination run wild. Meez takes away a lot of the safety concerns of using your real picture as an avatar. With a Meez, you can show the online world your personality and creativity so you don't have a standard avatar photo. Meez is free to use, but there is a VIP membership available for a price.
