How to Create Chibi-Style Animations with Copilot
Create chibi-style animations with Copilot and ToolRouter. Convert any photo or character into an animated chibi figure for games and community content.
Tool
Convert any photo or character into an animated chibi figure for fan art, games, and community content. Copilot fits naturally when chibi creation is part of a community management or game asset workflow that needs the output documented and filed immediately.

Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Character Animator tool:
- Upload the source character and specify the animation style and intended platform.
- Run `animate_chibi` through `character-animator` to generate the chibi.
- Ask Copilot to document the output — animation type, dimensions, loop points — and file it to the asset library.
- Confirm the documentation and hand the asset to the development or community team.
Example Prompt
Try this with Copilot using the Character Animator tool
Use character-animator to create a chibi version of our brand mascot with a bouncy idle animation. Return the file and document the dimensions, loop point, and intended use case (Discord sticker, game icon, or emote) for our asset register.
Tips
- Confirm the target platform before generating — Discord stickers, Twitch emotes, and game sprites have different dimension requirements.
- Ask Copilot to cross-reference the output dimensions against the platform specs before filing.
- Keep the style spec with the chibi asset so future mascot variants maintain consistency.
