"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](https://avatar-ss.org/en/index.html) as a reference avatar model for [MMDAgent-EX](https://mmdagent-ex.dev/) 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.

## 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](https://mmdagent-ex.dev/) 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:
```text
MODEL_BINDFACE|(model alias name)|morphname|value
```
