Made a thinking animation for an AI chat two weeks ago. The client's logo only had the capybara in profile — so I asked @QuiverAI for a front view, polished it, and rigged it in SVG with Claude Code. It turns, it doesn't rotate.
Nice work
Thanks, Nathaniel!
The distinction between it turns but doesn't rotate is such a small detail, but that's exactly the kind of thing that separates a believable thinking animation from an uncanny one. How many passes did it take to get that turn feeling natural instead of mechanical?
Thank you, Maty! To be honest, I did it at night for my other project, and the feed on X was full of the new Grok Bot mascot, so I decided to bring the mascot from the project logo to life. It didn't take long- maybe 40- 60 minutes- until I was satisfied. The next morning, I...
Curious about the actual handoff there, did QuiverAI give you something close to rig-ready, or were you writing the rotation logic yourself once it was in SVG?
Thanks so much for your question, Diego! I had a great time using the QuiverAI app to create a front-view icon of the mascot from the client’s logo. I simply provided the logo as SVG code and a large PNG of the character, then asked it to generate a front view using the attached...
Super cool haha! 😍
Thank you, Tan! ☺️
Mind if I ask if get the solution to it rotating
Sure, there are no secrets:
Treat the head as an ellipsoid: store the silhouette once and renormalize it into the ball's space each frame, swelling the near half and tucking the far one; project the features off the sphere surface instead of warping them, using the recovered...
ohh, thank you for the breakdown

Seht — Haircare Product Photography
Seht is a dermatologist-tested, fragrance-free haircare brand. The client came to me with a clear vision: a moodboard of minimal, editorial product photography for their shampoo and conditioner, and a request to create images in that spirit without copying any of them.
The brief was clear, but it pulled in several directions: liquid in motion, foam, motion blur, dark still lifes, bright editorial rows. So before shooting anything, I built a short visual guide to hold the series together. It sets a three-tone palette, typography, camera and lighting rules, and one core restriction: only the product, its own formula, water and light in frame.
From that system I produced a set of 10 campaign images, plus extra frames for social. Each one was built from the client's references, then refined through retouching so the bottles, labels and formula textures stay true to the real product.
The result is a set that feels like a single campaign rather than ten separate photos, and a visual language the brand can keep building on.
