text-to-avatar

text-to-avatar is a skill for Claude Code from nirholas/three.ws. It costs 93 tokens per session (687 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool that creates a textured 3D GLB avatar, meaning a downloadable 3D character file, from a text description or one to four reference images.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create an avatar from a prompt or reconstruct one from photos for viewing or use in a 3D project.
Why use it?
It removes the need to model and texture a character manually when you need a static 3D person or avatar.

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

text-to-avatar 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 4d 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.

Text → Avatar

Generate a high-quality textured 3D avatar from a description or one to four reference photos.

Tool

text_to_avatar (three.ws MCP server, @three-ws/mcp-server).

  • Lane: PAID — $0.15 USDC per call, settled automatically over x402. Requires a funded wallet on the MCP transport (the MCP_SVM_PAYMENT_ADDRESS the plugin wires). If no payment payload is attached, the tool returns a PaymentRequired structured result describing what to pay.
  • Backend: Replicate (Hunyuan-3D 3.1 by default), polled synchronously until a GLB is produced or the timeout fires.

When to use this vs. the alternatives

  • Free draft, text only: use forge-3d (forge_free) — no payment.
  • Static avatar, prompt or photo, best texture: this skill (text_to_avatar).
  • One-call rigged avatar ready to animate: use auto-rig (forge_avatar) — it generates and rigs in a single call.

Inputs

Param Required Notes
prompt one of prompt/images Natural-language description of the avatar (≤1000 chars).
images one of prompt/images 1–4 reference image URLs. When provided, the model does image-to-3D reconstruction.
texture no Request PBR textures when supported (default true).
seed no Integer seed for reproducible output.

Outputs

  • glbUrl — the generated avatar .glb.
  • the source prompt/images, the picked model version, the Replicate prediction id, and timing metadata.
  • Render or share it live with the avatar server's inline-render / embed-iframe tools, or open https://three.ws/viewer?src=<glbUrl>.

How to run

  1. Decide text vs image mode from the user's request. Gather prompt and/or images (public http(s) URLs).
  2. Call text_to_avatar. If it returns PaymentRequired, surface the price ($0.15 USDC) and how to fund — do not retry blindly.
  3. Return glbUrl plus a viewer/embed link. Offer to rig it (auto-rigrig_mesh) so it can play the canonical idle/walk animations.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
