# shinshin86/mesh-avatar-studio

> A tool that turns a single illustration into an animated 2D mesh avatar that blinks, talks, turns its head, breathes and sways its hair. A coding agent prepares the rig from your image, and a local editor with live preview lets you fine-tune points and layers.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
