How to Use Shimeji Templates

To create your own Shimeji, you can use a "shimeji blank template" or a base image set from existing desktop buddies to ensure your animations align correctly. Most Shimeji programs require a folder containing exactly 46 to 48 PNG files named numerically (e.g., shime1.png to shime46.png) which depict various actions like walking, sitting, and climbing.

📦 Where to download the official template

The original English Shimeji template (from the Group/DeviantArt days) is still the standard. You can get it here: config

  • config.ini
    • Consistency: All the frame counts are pre-set. You know you need exactly 2 idle frames, 4 walk frames, etc.
    • Scale reference: The template usually includes a placeholder character (like a silhouette or a "dummy") so you can draw your character at the exact same scale.
    • Legal safety: A blank template is usually open-source or free to use for personal projects.
