AI product Open source
Charakuru is a local character-modeling kit that turns a single full-body illustration into a VRM avatar with assistance from an AI agent. It generates eight reference images, creates and processes 3D candidates through Tripo, and uses Blender for part separation, weight transfer, rigging, spring physics, and VRM export. The workflow pauses at checkpoints so the user reviews images, selects candidates, adjusts proportions, and checks motion while the agent handles file management and browser or Blender operations.
The kit includes a local review app, seven agent Skills, scripts, documentation, and a base Blender body for weight transfer. It runs on a user's computer and uses external services through the user's own accounts, including Tripo, an agent with image-generation and browser-control capabilities, Blender, the VRM Add-on for Blender, and Blender MCP. The project is distributed through release ZIP files rather than GitHub's automatic source archive and is still in development. Current limitations include neutral faces with fixed gaze, no expressions or eye movement, and physics checks that occur in the exported VRM rather than the in-app walk preview. Its terms permit private, commercial, and non-commercial use subject to redistribution restrictions and additional licensing requirements for businesses meeting the stated revenue or funding threshold.

Turns a single full-body character illustration into a VRM avatar with an AI agent doing the heavy lifting while you approve every step: generates eight angles, builds the 3D model through Tripo, and handles rigging, weights, and physics in Blender, stopping at checkpoints.
