Avatar Making Java Applet

Tuesday October 14, 2008
Noble Avatar Maker

The applet googling game that I'm playing most weeks has unearthed a slick Java applet for creating avatars. The Noble Avatar Maker claims to have over 15 trillion combinations of heads, hair, features, hats, etc., which let's face it, is a lot more than you can shake a stick at.

In case you're a regular on the Java forums and fancy putting a face to your username, note that you will have to do an image conversion. The applet only exports avatars as .png files and our forums only like gifs and jpegs. Still, it only takes a quick "save as" in your favorite image manipulation program to put that right.
