gotchi-3d-custom-render#

Use this skill when the user wants a custom 3D gotchi render from selected traits, wearable IDs, wearable names, or a named preset.

Plain-language requests should also route here, for example:

• "render an ETH gotchi with common eyes, aagent hat, shades, shirt, headset, and pistol"
• "show me a custom gotchi portrait on a cream background"
• "make a gotchi outfit preview with wizard hat and blue wand"
• "give me a headshot of a hypothetical gotchi with shades and a fedora"

Do not wait for the user to explicitly say gotchi-3d-custom-render.

What this skill does#

• writes a structured render request JSON
• uses the hosted Aavegotchi renderer by default for official-style output
• falls back to the local Unity batch worker when hosted assets are unavailable
• returns:
  • full-body PNG
  • headshot PNG
  • manifest JSON
• supports friendlier presets, slot aliases, themed backgrounds, and render-mode selection
• wearable flags accept either numeric IDs or quoted wearable names
• supports plain-language outfit requests after routing picks this skill

Constraints#

• requires a local Unity editor installation
• hosted mode matches the existing Aavegotchi renderer look much more closely, but may ignore custom local-only pose behavior
• Unity fallback is still useful for hypothetical combinations or local debugging
• hosted mode can run on non-Unity hosts as long as node, jq, and npm install have been run in the repo root so the bundled PNG background compositor is available when a non-transparent background is requested
• intended for local development first, then AAi/Telegram integration through hosted mode
• no environment variables are required for normal hosted rendering

Routing Notes#

• Prefer this skill when the user describes a look, outfit, traits, wearables, background, portrait, headshot, or hypothetical gotchi.
• Prefer aavegotchi-3d-renderer instead when the user gives a tokenId or inventory URL for an existing gotchi.
• If the user gives both a tokenId and custom outfit instructions, clarify whether they want the real token render or a hypothetical custom loadout.

Entry points#

• main wrapper: scripts/render-custom-gotchi.sh
• preset gallery helper: scripts/render-preset-gallery.sh
• direct Unity runner: scripts/run-unity-render.sh
• Unity project: unity/GotchiCustomRenderer

Quick usage#

From the skill root:

bash

bash scripts/render-custom-gotchi.sh \
  --preset aagent-eth

Default mode is hosted. Use --render-mode auto if you specifically want hosted-first with Unity fallback, or --render-mode unity for local-only rendering.

Outputs land in:

• Renders/<slug>-full.png
• Renders/<slug>-headshot.png
• Renders/<slug>-manifest.json

Input contract#

Supported flags:

• --preset
• --slug
• --haunt-id
• --collateral
• --eye-shape
• --eye-color
• --skin-id
• --background
• --pose
• --body
• --face
• --eyes
• --head
• --pet
• --hand-left
• --hand-right
• --left-hand
• --right-hand
• --slot
• --wearables
• --print-presets
• --write-only
• --render-mode
• --hosted-only
• --unity-only
• --find-wearable

Wearable flags can take either:

• numeric IDs like --head 59
• quoted names like --head 'Aagent Fedora Hat'

Friendly Examples#

bash

bash scripts/render-custom-gotchi.sh --find-wearable aagent
bash scripts/render-custom-gotchi.sh --preset portrait-eth
bash scripts/render-custom-gotchi.sh --preset aagent-eth
bash scripts/render-custom-gotchi.sh --preset aagent-eth --render-mode auto
bash scripts/render-custom-gotchi.sh --body 'Aagent Shirt' --face 'Aagent Headset' --eyes 'Aagent Shades' --head 'Aagent Fedora Hat' --hand-right 'Aagent Pistol'
bash scripts/render-custom-gotchi.sh --wearables 'head=56,hand-right=58' --bg gotchi-radio --pose hero
bash scripts/render-custom-gotchi.sh --slot hat=56 --slot weapon=58 --background transparent
bash scripts/render-preset-gallery.sh
bash scripts/render-preset-gallery.sh --preset aagent-eth --preset portrait-eth --gallery-name quicklook
bash scripts/render-preset-gallery.sh --preset aagent-eth --preset portrait-eth --gallery-name quicklook --skip-failures
bash scripts/render-preset-gallery.sh --preset aagent-eth --gallery-name quicklook --open

Natural-language request examples this skill should handle:

• "render a custom ETH gotchi with common eyes and an aagent pistol"
• "show me a gotchi with aagent hat, shades, shirt, and headset"
• "make a portrait gotchi on a studio cream background"
• "preview this outfit on an ETH gotchi with common eyes"

If you need to inspect the request shape or adjust it manually, read references/request-schema.md. If you need the preset list or alias vocabulary, read references/presets.md.

When to read extra files#

• read references/request-schema.md when you need the exact JSON payload layout
• read references/presets.md when you need preset names, background aliases, or friendlier slot names
• read references/wearables.tsv when you need the built-in wearable name catalog used on non-Unity hosts
• read unity/GotchiCustomRenderer/Assets/Editor/GotchiCustomRenderCLI.cs only when changing the Unity render behavior
