6. AI Text-to-Animation Prompt Guide
The table below shows prompts and the level of determined accuracy.
- Successful Prompts can be considered one of High or Medium Accuracy. This means that the animation will need minimal work from an artist to make it production ready.
- Incomplete Prompts can be considered anything of Low or N/A Accuracy. This means the generated animation is not close to production ready. No AI model is perfect! As we train the model further, this list will change.
