Automate object emoji

[Madis0]

Would it be feasible to take a set of character images, apply a script filter (e.g. remove gradients and borders) and get a decent image result?

This could work with objects, body parts and symbols, but not people or emotions.

Pros:

• Overall styles can be updated by Google
• Less original work to be done (more focus on blobs )

Cons:

• have to wait for a beta/final release to get the images
• one filter might not fit all images

Yeah, I already made some script that did this thing. It was just not good.
Anyhow, it might be something to look into, once I have the new rendering system complete, because for rendering the emojis, they already get converted into a SVG tree, so it should be relatively easy to do these transformations.
However the main issue is that the style often doesn't fit on a level that's not auto-fixable.

In combination with #58 (comment) this could be actually doable now.
I already have a system that aligns the colors to a predefined palette (although it doesn't work very well at the moment), so it might be possible to do something like this in a very easy way.

With Android 12, there are no more gradients or borders.
