# Create Stickers & Animations

Tutorial on how to use the API to render a sticker or animation.

This tutorial assumes that you already know how to authenticate and create an avatar. If not, please head back to [Create Avatar & Render](/guides/create-avatar.md) for an introduction.

The [renderings](/api/avatars/renderings.md) endpoint can be used to render stickers and animations of an existing avatar.

### Render Sticker

```bash
curl -X POST 'https://api.loomai.com/v0.5/avatars/{AVATAR_ID}/renderings?pose=thumbsUp' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {ACCESS_TOKEN}"
```

### Render Animation

```bash
curl -X POST 'https://api.loomai.com/v0.5/avatars/{AVATAR_ID}/renderings?animation=idle' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {ACCESS_TOKEN}"
```

Renderings are processed asynchronously. See [Avatars > Renderings > Resolve Status](/api/avatars/renderings/resolve-status.md) for details on how to query processing status. When your new rendering is done, you can resolve it using [Avatars > Renderings > Resolve](/api/avatars/renderings/resolve.md).

For more details on parameters, available stickers & animations, see [Avatars > Renderings > Create](/api/avatars/renderings/update.md).
