Who it is forA creator who has an animated avatar that looks stiff and wants drawn eye and mouth variants.

The problemMesh deformation alone makes eyes and mouths look less natural than drawn variants.

The outcomeDrawn closed eyes and vowel mouths, and optionally expressions, that the editor reloads automatically.

What you need first

  • Node.js 22.17+ and Git
  • A front-facing, head-and-shoulders PNG with a transparent background (best results)
  • Claude Code or Codex, if an agent will prepare the avatar
  • Optional: uv, Python and Playwright Chromium for agent layer rebuilds and motion review
  • A webcam and microphone, only for the Live page

Steps

  1. Open your project in the editor and go to Drawn variants
  2. Check Eyes, Mouth or both, then copy the message shown
  3. Open Codex in the repository folder and paste the message
  4. Wait for Codex to draw and import the variants, then check the reloaded preview

Prompt for your agent

In the mesh-avatar-studio repository, use Codex to draw the eye and mouth variants for <project name> as described in the copied editor message. Expect the drawn variants imported into the project. Verify that the editor reloads them and that blinking and vowel mouths use the new images.

Caveat. Claude Code cannot generate images, so its message only prepares masks and prompts for a separate image generator.
