CG Cybernetic Avatar "Gene"

"Gene" is a CG-CA (cybernetic avatar) character model for spoken dialogue systems and avatar communication. You can open/edit/modify this MMD model under CC-BY 4.0 license (see LICENSE section below).

This CG avatar has been created under AVATAR SYMBIOTIC SOCIETY Project as a reference avatar model for MMDAgent-EX toolkit.

Expressions

This model equips +100 morphs for facial expression so that it can express various conversational actions. Here is an example of pre-defined expressions that can be played by the motion files under motion directory.

Model Specifications

• 28646 vertices, 47106 surfaces, 13 materials, 12 textures
• A-pose, MMD-compliant scale
• 224 bones (supports MMD semi-standard bones)
• 184 morphs (basic MMD-compliant faces + perfect sync support)
• Physics: 87 rigid bodies, 92 joints

Files

This repository contains model files (normal and light-weight version), and sample dialogue motion files.

   Gene.pmd.csv            Model extended file
   Gene.pmd.shapemap       Lipsync definitions for MMDAgent-EX
   Gene.pmd.loadmessage    Auto-exec messages at load time for MMDAgent-EX

   Gene.pmx                Model file (.pmx)
   tex/                    Texture images for the model
   Gene_light.*            Light-weight version of Gene
   light/                  Light-weight textures
   motion/                 Sample dialog motions

Usage

To load model in MMDAgent-EX, just specify the model file "Gene.pmd" at MODEL_ADD message or other messages.

To use this model on MMD tools, use "Gene.pmx" and convert it to be used with MMDAgent-EX.

If you have trouble reading the model, try light-weight version with smaller texture: Gene_light.pmd. The functions are the same.

See Official site for more documentations.

Special morphs

You can show/hide head parts by morph parameters:

• Mesh highlights on the hair
• Hear pin
• Cheek lines
• Cheek color

Corresponding morphs are:

• "頬斜線消し": set to 1 to erase cheek lines
• "頬赤み消し": set to 1 to erase cheek color
• "頬全消し": set to 1 to erase both cheek lines and color
• "メッシュなし" set to 1 to erase hear mesh highlights
• "髪留なし" set to 1 to erase hear pin

For example, you can set the morph value by the following message in MMDAgent-EX:

MODEL_BINDFACE|(model alias name)|morphname|value
