Character Model
One of Eidolon's core experiences is 3D character companionship. The AI companion appears as a character on your desktop, reacting to conversations with expressions, animations, and lip-syncing.
Character Rendering Modes
Eidolon supports multiple character rendering modes:
| Mode | Description | Features |
|---|---|---|
| VRM | 3D character model | Expressions, animations, mouse tracking |
| Live2D | 2D animation model | More delicate expression changes |
| GLB | General 3D model | Broad compatibility |
Loading a Model
Select a Model
- In Settings → Appearance → Character Model, click "Load Model"
- Or click the "Load Model" button in the floating window
- Select a VRM or Live2D model file
- Wait for the model to finish loading
Model Selector
The model selector lets you switch between modes:

Character Interactions
After loading a model, the character will:
| Behavior | Description |
