Gameplay Character Animation Reference

Create one clean gameplay animation reference for {{animation_set}} from the supplied character image.

Character and action
{{character_reference}}

Camera: {{game_camera}}
Motion quality: {{motion_style}}
Root behavior: {{root_behavior}}

Motion direction
- The input image fixes identity, anatomy, costume, equipment, materials, and color. Preserve them exactly; animate motion rather than redescribing or redesigning the character.
- Show one action only with a readable silhouette: anticipation → main action/contact → follow-through → recovery or loop return.
- Maintain believable center of mass, planted feet, grip, weapon inertia, cloth/hair lag, and environmental reaction. Hands stay attached to the intended prop and feet do not slide.
- Keep the ground plane, scale, facing direction, camera height, lens, and horizon stable. Use a locked gameplay camera unless the brief explicitly requires a minimal follow that preserves gameplay readability.
- For a loop, make pose, root position, velocity, cloth/hair phase, lighting, and shadow reconnect cleanly. For root motion, travel in one clear direction without teleporting.
- End in the stated recoverable gameplay state. Do not add cuts, enemies, VFX, UI, text, or a second action.

This output is motion reference, not engine-ready animation. After generation, provide a manual review list for key poses, contact frames, root trajectory, loop seam, skeleton compatibility, retargeting, foot locking, collision, and animation-event timing. Select duration in the service settings.

Shared execution rules
- Use selectors as production constraints that change structure, limits, and acceptance tests.
- When current information matters and search is available, prioritize official engine documentation, platform policy, original sources, and primary evidence. State the as-of date and separate fact, inference, and invention.
- Do not copy protected characters, worlds, dialogue, UI, or a distinctive game/studio style. Translate intent into observable shape, material, color, camera, and rhythm.
- Treat generated output as concept or production reference. Before engine use, require human review of rights, resolution, alpha, seams, pivots, collision, rigging, performance, and accessibility.
- Work through analysis → draft → gameplay-readability and continuity check → minimal revision. Label assumptions or open questions instead of inventing missing values.
