# Sking: Image To Minecraft Skin Generator

**Sking** is an image-to-Minecraft-skin generation model designed to transform character images, portraits, avatars, or concept art into Minecraft-style skin textures. Given a reference image, the model learns to preserve key visual features such as clothing, colors, hairstyle, and character identity while adapting them into the compact pixel-art structure used by Minecraft skins.

## SKING_DDJ_v101c — recommended production UV release (2026-09-16)

The portable v101c render-to-UV bundle is available in [`SKING_DDJ_v101c/`](SKING_DDJ_v101c). It contains privacy-sanitized inference checkpoints with tensor weights identical to the deployed v101 crown-geometry release, the trained foreground model, pinned offline dependencies, UV mappings, source code, checksums, and a portable launcher.

See the [v101c download and inference instructions](SKING_DDJ_v101c/README.md). Download the complete directory rather than only `parser.pt`. The older v104 release remains available below for reproducibility.

## SKING_DDJ_v104 — production UV release (2026-09-08)

The full v104 render-to-UV bundle is available in [`SKING_DDJ_v104/`](SKING_DDJ_v104). It includes the dense UV parser, trained foreground model, BiRefNet and SigLIP2 dependencies, pinned runtime, UV mappings, and a portable inference launcher. It produces a 64×64 RGBA Minecraft skin from the combined front/back edited render.

See the [v104 download and inference instructions](SKING_DDJ_v104/README.md). Download the complete directory rather than only `parser.pt`. Earlier model versions remain available below. The root `infer.py` is the earlier image-generation entry point; use `SKING_DDJ_v104/infer.py` for this release.
