It is best suited for models generated with **Meta Humans**, but also **Character Creator 3** (a small collection of models can be found [here](https://git-ce.rwth-aachen.de/vr-vis/VR-Group/virtualcharactermodels)), and **Character Creator 4** models work.
Besides the character's appearance, it's behavior needs to be defined. To see which components are already provided, see the list below. Additionally, **guidelines** on how to [integrate new models](Import-Data)(e.g.,[MetaHumans](Import-Data/MetaHuman-Model-Data)) and to [map animations](Import-Data) to the respective characters' skeletons are provided [here](Import-Data).
