Hi,
Im making a game for a project and would like to know how it is possible to have the user select if they are male or female (probably by the use of buttons) and this would generate the character (either the male character or female character) that they will be in the game…
Many many thanks!

One way would be to have 2 different Meshes (a male and female version of your character) and assign those to two different Prefabs. During your game’s character selection, you instantiate one of those based on player input.
