If you want protomoji at a different resolution than what's provided, it's recommended that you follow the steps under "Build protomoji". The "From Scratch" section will work for protomoji resolutions larger than the available downloads, and the "Multiple Sizes" section will work quickly for smaller resolutions.

Build protomoji

First, install Inkscape and ImageMagick onto your system. It should be available to run on your CLI (i.e. it should be in your PATH).

Next, install all the python dependencies from requirements.txt. This can be done with the command python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt.

Finally, run the script. You will need to first mix, then render. By default, you will now have 256x256 emojis in the protomoji directory. You can explore other options with -h to output emojis differently, e.g. at a different size or location.

NOTE: When generating new protomojis, some colors may be off. This may be due to conflicting IDs for Gradients or Filters. To fix this, use the clean.py script on the file that is causing issues as so: ./clean.py {file} {prefix}, where prefix is a unique prefix among all components (generally, base + action in all uppercase is a good prefix)

Making Your Own Protomoji

Feel free to make your own protomoji! While a style guide isn't provided, feel free to copy one of the existing bases and use it as a template. Here is a guide showing what is needed for a new base, as well as how to create them from the standard-sized base. Thanks to the way the generation script is set up, this is all you need to do.

If you want, feel free to send a pull request containing your new protomoji assets! I will greatly appreciate them :3

If you want to make a new expression, you will need to get into the tag system. This document explains how the tag system works, and the parameters necessary to add a new definition to it.
