Avatar Species 4: talking flower #1213

Closed

Description

Parent

Part of #1209.

What to build

A Human makes their PersonaBot a talking flower. The flower Avatar Species keeps the face rig. A ring of petals (daisy, sunflower, tulip, sakura) takes the place of hair, and stem, leaves or a pot take the place of the outfit. Petals use hair-piece colors, so each petal piece can be colored separately, and the stem and leaves use body color.

Acceptance criteria

  • The flower species renders as a bust on the pixel rig with petal styles and stem/leaves/pot bases, using original artwork.
  • It supports the full rig contract: transparent companion surface, anchors, gaze, blink, turns, and closed/half-open/open mouth.
  • Petal pieces take hair-piece colors with the same per-piece overrides. Stem and leaves use body color.
  • Hair pieces and outfit choices are hidden and kept while the species is flower, and return on switching back.
  • New golden entries cover each petal style and base at legal extremes and turned poses. Existing golden output is unchanged.
  • Runtime acceptance: a flower Bot speaks in a Window Companion on an isolated DSH Profile.

    Delivered in #1235 (squash f1e6fc6) with @botharness/pixel-avatar 0.4.0.

    • Flower species: petals replace hair (trumpet bell by default, plus daisy, sunflower, tulip and sakura), and leaves or a pot replace the outfit.
    • Face: following the review feedback, it's Mario-style bead eyes plus the speaking mouth. The saved hair, outfit, headwear, beard, eyes, brows, nose, cheeks and glasses are kept with a note, and come back when the species changes.
    • Speaking: the flower speaks in the Window Companion with closed, half-open and open mouth layers.
    • Evidence: docs/assets/pr/1212-medieval-flower-species/
