Avatar style exploration
Five directions, one rig. Every style below runs the same skeleton, the same proportion solver and the same animation code — only the shape language differs. Pick a direction; the tuning studio underneath drives whichever you select.
Styles side by side
All five doing the same exercise at the same build, so they're directly comparable.
— ms/frame Head-count is measured from the live rig, not hand-written — a label can't disagree with its render.
Model characters — the game orcs, done properly
The goblin-fort orcs (rigged Rigify humanoids, flat palette art) are the avatar base — original, four tier colourways re-inked from the palette texture, a human-palette variant, and the armoured Marauder. The palette-treated Soldier shows the same treatment on realistic proportions. Geno — the AI4Animation biped from the founder's game jam — joins with the game's own approach: one white model, tint = character (tier colours, goblin green, human skin), plus BVH mocap playback (walk / limp / drag / one-arm / combat) retargeted live onto its 62-joint skeleton. Feet and hands stay planted — poses are IK-solved, not hand-tuned. The Wardrobe cards add bone-parented clothes (shorts, tank, headband, wristbands, sneakers, belt + charity-pot charm — each slot toggleable on the card) and species heads (frog with bulbous eyes, goblin, robot): every piece is attached to a bone, so the BVH mocap and exercise poses simply carry it along.
— ms/frame Colourways remap the orc's own palette-texture swatches (skin → tier colour, kit untouched) — the game's colour-is-identity treatment. Loading is async; native animations (Idle/Run) available on the Soldier via its card buttons.
Photo avatars — img2threejs prototype
Code-only avatars rebuilt from reference images by the img2threejs method
(reconstruction-by-code: component trees, pivots, sockets, idle ticks —
no meshes, no textures). This strip is a lightweight manual pass
(palettes sampled programmatically from the showcase reference pixels);
the full vision-gated pipeline costs ~150k–350k tokens per character.
Investigation: docs/23_IMG2THREEJS_INVESTIGATION.md.

Creatures — dragon, take two
Built on the dedicated creature rig (horizontal body axis, neck ≥ torso, tail ≥ body, wing sails ≥ 1.5× body area in bright coral) — not the humanoid exercise rig that produced "person in a dragon suit". Evaluated in a game context: tile floor, warm sun, cool ambient, 52°-down camera. The three evolution stages ride the founder's tamagotchi concept.
— ms/frame Wing : body area, neck : torso and tail : body are measured off each live rig — the labels cannot disagree with the render.
