This is a great project and it was fun playing around with it. When Meta started discussing this in 2021, the HN sentiment [1] was quite...cautious, making connections to how Meta can't be trusted with kids drawings. Has something changed? [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29580619
We've moved on to a different moral panic

Re: Animated Drawings
#62These aren't necessarily great, but this page[0] does touch on some of the basic concepts. "Squash and stretch" is a key thing missing. Also while in the demo you're dancing not walking, a walk cycle is a very basic thing which is often done poorly by even supposedly professional companies. [1] It's really important for the "contact" part to seem like it's happening. Getting feet to plant themselves on the ground and look like they're not swimming or sliding around is a challenge.

[my father worked in animation for much of his career and would complain bitterly about badly done animation, so I guess I can't unsee things with his critical eye]

I’VE BEEN DOING IT WRONG THE WHOLE TIME
I'm definitely going to start stretching before coding now! Maybe even 15 minutes of yoga before debugging.
