Blender Claymation
Make stop-motion claymation videos in Blender from a one-line idea. Builds a miniature clay set and puppet in Python, animates it "on twos" at 12 fps with hand-made boil, renders with Cycles, encodes an mp4, and presents it in a video player. Use when the user asks for a claymation, stop-motion, plasticine or clay animation, a clay character or short film made in Blender, or "an animation that looks like a real studio made it".

# Blender claymation
Turn a short idea ("a penguin who lives in an igloo") into a ~20 second stop-motion clay film:
a tabletop miniature built in real-world metres, a puppet made of lumpy clay primitives, a locked-off
camera with shallow depth of field, and animation that moves in held steps like a real animator
nudging clay between shots.
Everything is scripted: one Python scene file per film, rendered headless. Nothing needs the Blender UI.
## Files in this skill
- `scripts/claylib.py`: clay material, lumpy primitives, lights, camera, easing, `Boil` jitter,
constant-interpolation keys, CLI (`cli()`) and render entry point (`run()`).
- `examples/igloo.py`: character film. A penguin peeks out of an igloo, waddles out, catches a snowflake and waves.
- `examples/clay_spark.py`: desk-set film. A sleeping clay ball wakes, sprouts rays and hops onto books.
- `scripts/blender.sh`: finds Blender and runs a scene headless.
- `scripts/encode.sh`: 12 fps PNGs to a 24 fps mp4 with grain and vignette.
- `scripts/contact_sheet.sh`: tiles frames so you can review the story in one image.
- `assets/player.html`: video player page for an Artifact (autoplay, muted, loops).
- `references/look-guide.md`: what makes it read as clay, with numbers. Read it before building.
- `references/recording-demo.md`: optional OBS screen recording of the finished result.
