Opus 5.5 codes a 20-second animated 12.8mm bee
Choreography-first workflow with Opus 5.5: 32,700 individually placed hairs, antennae takeoff at 0:07, 84 hex eye facets, and closed-curve camera motion for a seamless 20-second loop.
Claude just built an absolute monster in code. It's 12.8 mm long. My best results with Opus 5.5 come from one order of work: choreography first, body second. All 20 seconds exist as equations in t before the first leg gets modelled. > 32,700 hairs, each one placed on its own, with a bare patch left where the eyes sit. > 0:07 is the takeoff: the antennae swing forward for the flight, 12 jointed segments on each. > Push in at 0:12 and the eye breaks into 84 hex facets across, each a lens catching its own glint of the softbox. > Yaw and camera both run on closed curves, which is why frame 1 comes back at 0:20 without a cut.
