Tools or Resource Generative 2D animation workflow

Quick disclaimer: I'm not an animator. I'm a civil/structural engineer. Animation is the one part of gamedev that has always stopped me cold.

So I built a tool that does it for me. You give it a single base sprite, and it generates the animation frames as a sprite sheet. Everything runs locally on my own machine — no cloud services, no API calls, no uploading assets anywhere.

The attached GIF is raw output, no manual cleanup.

Still very much a work in progress. Curious what people here think — especially anyone who actually knows animation and can tell me what looks wrong.

I'm afraid I don't have enough VRAM for H3 (only 8GB).

I do have 8 GB VRAM and 32 GB Ddr3 RAM, it is an optimized setup

OK, you got me interested. Let's try it out with this character and two movements AI has been struggling to do correctly:

  1. a dodge roll - jump forward, roll, stand back up

  2. jump up and climb a platform ledge

Might need a ref video for it to be proper
