What is a .AWCAV file?
The .AWCAV file extension stands for ActiveWorlds Custom Avatar File. This type of file is used in the ActiveWorlds Browser, which is a program that allows users to interact in a 3D virtual world. The .AWCAV file contains detailed information that defines the appearance of a virtual character, or avatar, used in this 3D environment.
When you create an avatar using the ActiveWorlds Browser, the .AWCAV file saves various properties such as the avatar's gender, face, hair, skin tone, clothing, and other customizable features. This allows users to personalize their virtual representation in the online world, making their experience more engaging and unique.
To open and use a .AWCAV file, you need to have the ActiveWorlds Browser installed on your computer. This is the only program that can properly read and process this type of file.
Here’s how you can create and load a custom avatar in the ActiveWorlds Browser: 1. **Creating a Custom Avatar:** - Open the ActiveWorlds Browser and go to the application menu. - Click on Avatar, then select Custom Avatar. - In the new window that appears, click the "Show CAV window" button located at the top of the application window bar. - You will see various options to customize your avatar. Adjust the settings for the face, hair, skin, clothes, and other features as desired. - Once you are satisfied with your avatar’s appearance, click the Save Preset button to save your avatar settings in a .AWCAV file.
2. **Loading a Custom Avatar:** - To use a previously saved custom avatar, open the ActiveWorlds Browser. - Navigate to the same Custom Avatar section under the Avatar menu. - Click the Load Preset button and select the .AWCAV file that contains your custom avatar settings.
By following these steps, you can easily manage your virtual appearance in the ActiveWorlds Browser using .AWCAV files.
