MateEngine
MateEngine is a lightweight, customizable desktop companion app that brings 3D anime-style characters to life on your screen. Built with VRM model support, it allows you to inject your own avatars and watch them interact, idle, and even dance—right from your desktop.
This project is a free alternative aimed at giving users more control and flexibility without relying on expensive model packs or locked-down systems. Whether you want a simple virtual presence or a more animated character hanging out while you work, MateEngine is designed to be approachable and performance-friendly.
The Steam version is a donation; the free project can be found on GitHub.
Key Features
Idle Animations: 10 different idle animations for when the pet is relaxing on your desktop!
Drag Animation: 1 drag animation plays when you move your pet around the desktop.
Dance Animation: The pet dances when music plays on apps like Spotify, Chrome, and others!
Head Tracking: The pet follows your mouse with its head.
Eye Tracking: The pet's eyes also follow your mouse for extra detail!
Hand Tracking: When you hover your mouse near its hands, the pet will try to catch and hold it!
Head Pats: Hovering over the pet’s head makes it shake, jiggle, and spawn adorable heart particles.
Spine / Chest Tracking: Head, eye, and hand tracking aren’t enough! When you move the mouse, the pet will also move its upper body in that direction to make movement more realistic!
Chibi Mode: Hover over its feet for 3 seconds to transform the pet into a chibi version! Works with custom VRM models.
Sensitive Parts: The pet will react shyly and cover certain areas if you hover over them.
Custom VRM Support: Load any VRM using MToon shaders (UniVRM VRM0). VRM1.X (MToon10) support coming soon!
Particle Effects: Includes various particle effects, with more to come!
Auto-Load Custom VRM: Your custom model loads automatically on startup.
Performance
MateEngine is designed to be lightweight on CPU and GPU resources. RAM usage depends on your model’s complexity, especially texture sizes. For example, a high-res VRM model may use around 200MB of RAM. Simpler models use significantly less.
Animation transitions are smooth and fluid, providing a more natural experience compared to other apps in this space.
Planned Features (Upcoming Updates)
Menu color customization
Wallpaper Engine integration
Optional support for avatars sitting on windows or the taskbar
Known Limitations
Taskbar/window sitting is currently disabled to avoid triggering anti-cheat systems in certain games.
