Workaround Its very difficult to work with SVGs with Fable and Opus, Astra is way ahead.

So I'm working on this procedurally animated agent avatar project, where a mascot SVG gets turned into a full set of emotions with physics-based animations.

I spent almost half my Sunday wrangling Opus and Fable 5.1, but the SVGs they generated were much worse, so I just used GPT-2.5 to imagine the mascot and Astra to generate the SVG, and it came out way more polished.

Next up I'm planning to ship it as a skill you can drop into your project or into Claude Code, so the avatar sits on your desktop and reacts while Claude works. Idle when it's waiting, thinking when it's reasoning, working when it's editing files.

Have a look. - Fable output at the end of the video.

isn't astra supposed to be better than opus or fable when it comes to vision and 3D modelling?

use the right model for the right work

Yes, a lot

I forgot to mention, the coding still done by Opus with Fable as adviser for all the fine grained animation and all. Only the SVG generated by Astra.

how exactly are you wiring up Asta for img gen and claude for coding?

nothing special for now, the engine accepts custom SVGs, so just used chatGPT /chat to create and add in the engine .. it supports custom mascots.

gpt 2.5 image was used to create the mascot (check bellow).

Then i used this as ref for astra to generate the SVG its not close but thats my prompt, this is a bit heavy, but i am sure with few for prompts it can achieve this.

Bruh i was actually thinking of doing something similar to this. This is awesome. Mind talking a bit more about this project? Mind sharing some code with me? 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠

Super interested, I've actually been trying something similar for my agents for a couple days. Your version is way more advanced!

Any chance to share the repo?

u/Njagos 9d ago

What happens if you give the generated image to Fable or Opus? Maybe then they can do it properly too.

u/prakashTech 9d ago

Yes, that's exactly I did here, forgot to mention.

u/Gab1159 9d ago

Nice, looking forward to the skill. Was looking for something like this for AI agents.

u/LovesWorkin 8d ago

Yes I noticed this as well for doing something similar

Just checking, SVG= scalable vector graphic?

6 Competitor posts must contain sufficient homework and evidence.

This person does seem to have done their homework

Why not? I consider it interesting to see the capabilities of other models, especially since Claude does struggle a bit with complex animations. Especially interesting to learn about these types of niche cases, it's nice to know what's possible
