Creative goal

Package attacks, spells and auras as native scenes, skill guidance and validation records reusable in future games, with presentation kept separate from damage logic.

Connect a Hyper3D mage casting animation to charge, flight, contact, aura and sound, retaining six reusable native presets.

Models and versions

Production, post-production and review are attributed separately. Unknown means records are insufficient; it does not mean the current model produced the work.

Version history

  • Unpublished submission draft ·

    Prepared historical baseline evidence, explicit limits and a bilingual candidate; no publication, merge or deployment.

  • Procedural six-preset v4 · Draft candidate ·

    Updated the candidate to an original procedural character, six presets, a 16-second film and a validated source ZIP; bound the actual source commit while preserving Unknown stage attribution and untested items. Not deployed.

  • Hyper3D audiovisual revision · Draft candidate ·

    Included and attributed the existing model under user authorization; added event audio, the native package, audio save/reopen, Windows export and the standalone Shader manual. Preserved historical research and untested boundaries.

  • Layered aura and softer magic sound · Draft candidate ·

    Split the aura into three layers and add an illustrated manual. Two feedback rounds replaced beep-like cues and lowered gain by 6 dB; native footage was rerendered and the final project revalidated. History is retained; not deployed.

  • Mage motion and ritual arena revision · Draft candidate ·

    Feedback adds body/shoulder/wrist support motion, circulating particles, sigil inclinations, a smaller contact core and a stone ritual arena. Platform height was corrected; footage was rerendered and the project revalidated. Historical failures and untested gates are retained; not deployed.

  • Close sigil and balance candidate · Preview ·

    Preserved current complete motion candidate; corrected close framing/spatial gain and reused the wide shot. New preview uses the existing player; public kit excludes model/PBR; audiovisual/final CI gates remain open.

English translation. Read the original Chinese text. Source evidence, downloads and native artwork retain their original language.

Prompt

Reusable prompt template
Reuse six presets in the same Godot project; bind an authorized model to casting bones and audio events. Retain editable parameters, native film, a reopenable project and explicit acceptance boundaries.

Reusable production instructions for reproduction, not a verbatim private conversation.

  • godot-vfx / godot-shader

    Existing skills and templates provide six native presets, a mage demo and parameter guidance; this MCP bridge run remains blocked by ownership_conflict.

  • Godot Movie Maker / FFmpeg

    Native picture and sound from three separate performances joined by two hard cuts; no retiming, final fade, AI frames or post-added cues. Fixed-rate capture does not establish realtime fps.

Refer to project documentation for installation, compatibility and current capabilities. This case's actual environment and execution evidence are recorded above.

Step-by-step process

  1. Reuse the authorized mage

    The film uses the existing Hyper3D mage and Kay Lousberg CC0 motion, preserving the current balance candidate. Public source uses an original procedural character and includes no model/PBR.

  2. Compose six presets

    Mesh fire, particle fire, slash, impact, aura and projectile reuse the existing gallery and lifecycle contracts and can be copied into game projects.

  3. Bind casting and actual contact events

    Charge, release and contact drive both visuals and sound. Tests cover seven releases, six contacts and one miss; misses have no contact feedback.

  4. Record native and media evidence separately

    Retain six-preset, save/reopen and extracted-ZIP execution results, while separating film decoding, model frame review and human visual acceptance.

  5. Open, edit and save/reopen

    Run project.godot in the public kit; MANUAL.md explains tint,radius,duration,auto_free,speed,lifetime and sound_gain_db. Check Cast and RightCastSocket before importing your authorized character; presentation does not own damage authority.

Models and evaluation records

Public examples, not a blind evaluation set or leaderboard. Missing values stay unrecorded and are not averaged or ranked.

No runs under a shared protocol are recorded yet; historical attribution remains in the existing stage-specific records.

Evidence limits

  • This revision is a production preview awaiting audiovisual acceptance; it is not merged,deployed or accepted as final.
  • Full reference motion was inaccessible; local exposure,motion naturalness and quality still need human review.
  • Public source excludes Hyper3D model/PBR; the full mage project stays local because provider redistribution entitlement is unverified.
  • This MCP bridge run is blocked by ownership_conflict; native engine success is not MCP call success.
  • The effects are presentation components; damage, authoritative hits, input buffering and gameplay combo windows are not implemented.
