# Ready Player Me Import

In this tutorial, you will learn how to setup your first Virtual Being Unity project based on Ready Player Me characters. 

{% hint style="info" %}

## 1. Import Ready Player Me Package

Create new blank 3D project in Unity and import [Ready Player Me package](https://docs.readyplayer.me/integration-guides/unity/unity-sdk-download) into your project. After successful import Avatar Loader should appear. Paste your custom 3D character link into the URL / Short Code field. If you don't have any RPM models yet head out to [Virbe Ready Player Me Creator](https://virbe.readyplayer.me/) to build your own avatar.

After providing URL or Shortcode into Avatar Loader in Unity click "Load Avatar". Your RPM model should appear inside the scene.
