A 3D character tool that adds a humanoid skeleton and movement controls to a GLB model, a common 3D file format, or creates a rigged avatar from text or images.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps auto-rig GLB files and create avatars that can play idle or walking animations.
Why use it?
It makes static character models ready for animation without requiring manual skeleton and skin-weight setup.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

auto-rig scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Auto-Rig — skeleton + skin weights for animation

Two paths, depending on whether you already have a mesh.

Tools

Both on the three.ws MCP server (@three-ws/mcp-server).

rig_mesh — rig an existing GLB ($0.20 USDC)

Auto-rig a static GLB: adds a humanoid skeleton and per-vertex skin weights via the three.ws rig pipeline (Make-It-Animatable by default).

Param Required Notes
glb_url yes http(s) URL to the static GLB to rig — e.g. the glbUrl returned by forge-3d (forge_free), mesh-forge, or text-to-avatar.

Returns the rigged glbUrl and a three.ws pose-studio link (https://three.ws/forge?action=rig...) where the model plays the canonical idle/walk clip library.

forge_avatar — text/image → rigged avatar in one call ($0.45 USDC)

Chains the whole pipeline: Granite prompt director → FLUX + TRELLIS/Hunyuan3D mesh → Make-It-Animatable auto-rig, so the model loads straight into the pose studio.

Param Required Notes
prompt one of prompt/images A single humanoid character, e.g. "a friendly cartoon astronaut in a glossy white suit".
image_url / image_urls one of prompt/images Single image, or 1–4 angles (front/back/left/right) for higher-fidelity reconstruction.
direct no Run the Granite prompt-director stage (text mode). Default true.
aspect_ratio no Reference aspect ratio (text mode). Default 3:4 (portrait — best for a full-body figure).
allow_non_humanoid no Off by default. A clearly non-humanoid subject (furniture, vehicle, quadruped) is rejected without charge. Set true only to force-rig a non-character.

Returns the rigged glbUrl, the intermediate mesh URL, a pose-studio link, the directed prompt, and per-stage timing. You are not charged if no rigged avatar is produced.

Which to use

  • Already have a GLB (from forge-3d, mesh-forge, text-to-avatar, or the user's own file) → rig_mesh ($0.20).
  • Starting from just a prompt or photos and want it rigged → forge_avatar ($0.45, generation + rig bundled).

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
