SDK for avatars (such as Wii, XBOX 360 avatars)

What software packages are available for 90% of the avatar features for my games? My favorite is the xbox Avatar system (but I want it in my PC games).

I need the ability to customize a person's appearance (body, clothing, etc.).

The November XDK (Xbox Developer Kit) contains the avatar API, but its use is limited to what I understand. The game using it must be rated E. Getting access to the XDK is not easy or cheap.

Another option is XNA development, but the avatar functionality is not yet available. It has already been submitted as a proposal, but at the moment there is no information on whether or when it will be available.



XNA Avatar recommendation

EDIT: Just re-read the post and realize you are looking for an alternative. I am not aware of any pre-made packages and will most likely require you to make your own.

These are all custom systems, so I doubt there is a single SDK for this purpose. Of course, if you want to create a game that uses XBox avatars, there is an SDK / API for Microsoft, but as far as I know, none of them exist as a ready-to-use package.
