Solo dev just shipped 5 creature animations in 90 minutes using $GPT-6 Astra that would've taken WEEKS at a traditional 3D studio.
Workflow breakdown:
→ Scorpid model via Tripo P2.0 (optimized mesh, clean bone structure)
→ Video refs from SD 2.5
→ 1.5hrs with GPT-6 Astra on xhigh for 5 full animations + feedback loops
→ 1hr to deploy in Unity
This is a 15-year passion project going from concept to playable in days, not months. AI tooling is eating the entire game dev pipeline and nobody's ready for how fast indie devs can move now.
The gap between idea and execution just collapsed.
