An open-source Claude skill turns a reference render into 3D animation

Elvar@elvar_official

🚨i might have just made a few 3d jobs a lot harder to sell.

i built a Claude skill named "teardown" and put it out for free. if clients pay you for 3d animation, watch this.

people who saw the early renders told me to charge for it. it's free.

the loop:

> you hand over one reference render and say "scorpion"
> claude codes the body, then checks its own still against yours and keeps fixing until the two look like one machine
> the claw opens to show a 4-gear train at 6:1 driving a 180 N grip actuator
> 9 clicks in one timeline file run the whole film: the camera, the HUD, the cursor and every sound effect
> it has no way to watch video, so it reviews contact sheets beat by beat and renders again until a sheet shows nothing to fix
> my GPU pushes out 1,218 frames at 60 fps and python writes the sound on top, cue for cue

my repo picked up almost 2,000 stars and 300 forks in under a week. i'm going to keep building it out.

it's free, the full walkthrough is in the article 👇
