Yeah, modeling and animating used to be a huge bottleneck, but with tools like image-to-3D and improving AI animation models, it's getting easier and faster. The goal here isn’t to replace animation but to use 3D as a guide, so AI doesn’t have to guess everything from scratch. In this workflow, you don’t even need animations—just static 3D models. The output is a single image that gets passed to a video model, which handles the motion.
