Turn one AI-generated image into a layered, rigged, living avatar. Open .aiko format, no moc3, no GPU server, about a dime per character. AI agents can mint characters over MCP.
Turn one anime image into a layered, rigged, animatable companion, rendered by a runtime you control. No proprietary .moc3, no Cubism license, no GPU on the serving box. The heavy machine-learning steps run on hosted APIs or a rented GPU; the rig itself is deterministic CPU code.
The models this factory produces play live in Aiko, our open-source companion app. All eleven characters that ship inside Aiko came out of this pipeline, and the eleventh, mira, was minted end to end by somebody else's AI agent over MCP: one sentence in, a living character out, no human touching a file in between.
That loop is the actual shipping renderer at real speed: layered idle sway, gaze, one asymmetric blink, hair riding its spring bones.
This repo is the working pipeline behind the build. It is honest about where the output is good and where it is still rough. See FINDINGS.md for the running log and RESEARCH-and-architecture.md for the full design and the format decision.
Commissioned Live2D rigging runs about $100 to $2,000. The layer-decomposition half of that work is now a solved research problem (See-through, SIGGRAPH 2026), the rendering half is a commodity, and the missing middle (layers to a real rig) is deterministic code. Aiko Forge stitches those into something that plays in a browser companion for cents.
The honest ceiling: the auto output is a 2.5D companion (parallax, blink, lip-sync, breathing, hair sway), not a hand-rigged Cubism model with true multi-angle head turns. It is good enough for a talking half-body companion. It is not a drop-in for a $300 commission, and the
