Welcome to the age of Avatars, introducing the Meshcapade Me CLI (MCME). Create accurate digital doubles from any source of data in a unified 3D body format for every industry.
Built on our patented avatar technology, MCME simplifies the avatar creation process, allowing you to create and download avatars directly from your terminal. This interface is ideal for users who favor terminal-based interactions or seek seamless integration of avatar creation into automated processes. If you prefer alternative methods, we've got you covered with an API and a Web UI for creating, editing, and downloading avatars.
MCME requires Python 3.9+
To ensure a clean and isolated installation, we recommend using a virtual environment (venv). Here's an example of how to set up MCME within a virtual environment:
# Create a virtual environment
python3.10 -m venv mcme_env
# Activate the virtual environment
source mcme_env/bin/activate
# On Windows, use `mcme_env\\Scripts\\activate`
# Install MCME
pip install mcme
To make sure the installation worked and to view the general help, execute the following command:
mcme —help
To authenticate with MCME, use your mehscapade.me credentials. If you haven't registered yet, take a moment to sign up for a free account. For now, when setting up for CLI access, please register using a username and password. Single Sign-On (SSO) support is on its way and will be available soon!
When you execute mcme for the first time or after your access token has expired, you will be prompted for username and password. Alternatively you can set them using:
mcme --username <your_username> --password <your_password>
Or save them as environment variables:
export MCME_USERNAME=<your_username>
export MCME_PASSWORD=<your_password>
Please be aware that creating avatars consumes credits, provided the creation is successful. Creating an avatar from betas, measurements or images costs 100 credits, creating one from scans or videos costs 500 credits. You can check your current credit balance at any time by using the following command:
mcme user-info
