Separates asset analysis into distinct steps to accurately capture face landmarks.
Introduces `fileToDataUrl` utility and modifies `stitchAssets` to accept image source strings, reducing redundant file processing and improving clarity.
Enables users to upload custom avatar assets and automatically remove the background from the generated image.
New features:
- Avatar creation now supports uploading base, blink, and talk textures.
- Added ability to define the main body bounding box during rigging.
- Vision service now includes image segmentation for background removal.
- Studio component dynamically processes the avatar image for background removal if chroma key is enabled.
The Gemini service has been updated to generate a character sheet rather than a single avatar image. This sheet includes the main character and separate assets for closed eyes and an open mouth.
The `AvatarConfig` type and `RiggingEditor` component have been extended to handle these new expression assets (`textureClosedEye`, `textureOpenMouth`). A new `Sprite` component has been added to `Studio.tsx` to correctly render these specific regions from the generated character sheet. The UI has been updated to reflect the new generation process.
Sets up the foundational project structure, including:
- Vite for build tooling.
- React for the UI.
- Tailwind CSS for styling.
- MediaPipe for face tracking capabilities.
- Gemini API integration for avatar generation.
- Basic configuration files (package.json, vite.config.ts, tsconfig.json).
- Initial README with local run instructions.
- Core types and a basic Gemini service for image generation.
