When I first stumbled across Utobits I was impressed by the art and shocked by how low the price was for their voxel-based avatars. I reached out to the team because I couldn't figure out why they were so cheap despite the quality (all of which were made by hand). What followed was a personal relationship in which I decided to help them out as much as I could. They've become friends and business partners and I figured I'd take my audience behind the scenes of an avatar project which is what this short series is about.
This is the first episode which sets the context. We discuss who they are and what this project is about.
