The LemonSlice Cartoon Model
Highly expressive interactive avatars for cartoon characters, from 3D mascots to anime, all from a single image. Available today on all subscription plans.
Today we're launching the LemonSlice Cartoon Model: a new real-time avatar model built to bring cartoon characters to life with maximum animation.
Cartoon characters play by different rules than photorealistic avatars, and audiences expect to see that when talking to them. The Cartoon Model is trained for exactly that.
- Maximum animation. Exaggerated expressions, with lively head and body movement. Lip sync works even with non-standard mouth shapes.
- Any style. 3D mascots, anime, storybook illustrations, animals, creatures, even talking objects. If it has a face, it works.
- One image. Avatars are created from a single reference image, making it super easy to get started.
Interactive Examples
