Prompt

Character walk cycle breakdown

character animation · works with Claude 3.5 Sonnet · via GitHub

The prompt

Describe an 8-frame walk cycle for {{character_description}}, breaking down the contact, down, passing, and up positions for both legs, suitable for a 2D animator to key.

Expected result

An 8-frame breakdown labeled by pose (contact/down/passing/up) for each leg, in an order an animator can directly key from.

Why it works

Naming the four canonical walk-cycle poses gives the model a known animation vocabulary to slot frames into, instead of an arbitrary frame count.
