Sheet: 6 columns × 4 rows; 256 × 256 pixels per frame. PNGs exclude the stage, shadow and rig. Mirroring is preserved. JSON includes frame times and the fixed ground anchor.

Space: pause/play · R: replay · ←/→: previous/next move. Scrubbing pauses all previews. One-shots hold their final pose; comparison thumbnails repeat independently.

Design choices, mime limits, and export contract

The undeformed egg is 112 units tall and approximately 84 wide. Its upper quarter tapers; its lower half carries the volume. The contour is one continuous, closed shape.
The near shoulder sits about 44% down from the top; the far shoulder is slightly higher and farther left. Upper arm: 32 units. Forearm: 31 units. Near limb stroke: 5.8 units. Fingerless hand: approximately 9 × 7 units. The asymmetric attachments and occlusion suggest a roughly 30° turn. An unmarked egg cannot independently advertise its facing direction.
Arms use two-link inverse kinematics. Shoulder positions follow body deformation. Elbows are solved every frame, and reach is constrained. The far arm is painted first, then the egg, then the near arm.
Ground contact is measured from the deformed body contour, not assumed from an undeformed bounding box. Leaning therefore rolls the egg onto its lower curve. Lift is explicit; no invisible feet are involved.
The five travel clips have no accumulating root motion. Walk is a small roll; slow walk has longer, weightier transfers; jog bounds; sneak compresses and pauses; pacing alternates restrained pivots with a thinking hand. Small local weight shifts remain in-frame.
Prop-specific meanings remain ambiguous without props: comparing slices also reads as weighing two choices; bread bracing can read as cradling; spreading can read as wiping; sitting can read as squatting. Those clips have different blocking and timing, but their exact nouns cannot honestly be recovered from silhouette alone.
slice_bread mimes three distinct saw-and-cut phrases. throw_child is a two-handed scoop, swing and empty-handed release. brandish_cane mimes an upright grip without drawing a cane. No extra objects or anatomy appear.
Loop and travel sheets sample [0, duration), avoiding a duplicate seam frame. One-shot sheets include both endpoints. JSON records the precise sample times. All cells use the same ground anchor: (128, 212.48). Exports contain neither a background nor a contact shadow.
A second pass should judge far-arm visibility at thumbnail size, wrist spacing in close-body actions, and which timing accents survive the intended game camera scale. A 24-frame sheet is a compact inspection export, not a recommended final sampling rate for every duration.
