MeMaker is an easy to use avatar creation program for Linux.
Aside from being fun to play about with, the avatars created can be easily saved, exported to your Launchpad account for use as your Mugshot or even set as your GNOME user account picture!
Features
The application is supposed to be fun and as such MeMaker provides seven different ‘avatar styles’ to choose from: –
- freestyle
- artistic
- plastidudes
- glyphface
- plazmoid
- cocohead
- animal-crackers.
These all vary in silliness but the plastidudes are just plain out cute.
Depending on which ‘style’ you can then tweak it to your liking, changing the pigment of the skin, the style of the hair, eye colour, face shape, ears, mouth, beard and eyebrows – even accessorise your mini-me with glasses, hats and jewellery!
Exporting
Avatars can be saved as .PNG’s, .BMP’s, .SVG’s and .JPG’s.
MeMaker can also set your avatar as your GNOME login picture, or even upload it to your Launchpad account.
Conclusion
Whilst Me Maker is going to top the list of “must install” applications, it’s an enjoyable way to kill a few minutes and spice up your login picture in the process.
