Lift a tiled garden into a moving gold relief, then return every piece to its recorded home. A stable cell grid assigns each tile to the background, water or an editable motif mask. Motif groups rise first, then a rolling relief field lifts and turns the larger tile surface. Every displacement becomes exactly zero for the final reconstructed scene. Optional new music can be quoted through PopNow after the picture is approved.

What you get

  1. A 20-second native landscape or portrait MP4 and editable composition.

  2. A stable cell grid assigns each tile to the background, water or an editable motif mask. Motif groups rise first, then a rolling relief field lifts and turns the larger tile surface. Every displacement becomes exactly zero for the final reconstructed scene.

  3. A poster, contact sheet and local render receipt.

Good for

  • Decorative relief films
  • Reusable gallery-style motion studies

Not for

  • This version draws a procedural tiled scene using three motif shapes. It does not segment an arbitrary photograph or calculate gold material physics.
  • The supplied shape masks are flower, moon and arch; custom image segmentation is not included.

How it works

Includes a local renderer

  1. Compose the tile picture

    Place supported motif masks within the safe area and choose the grid density before rendering.

  2. Animate stable cells

    Keep a fixed home ID for each tile while the motif lift and rolling relief field change its position and rotation.

  3. Check the return

    Inspect the raised structure, then verify that all cells return without residual offsets. Review both aspect ratios as separate compositions.

How the workflow runs

How Golden Foil World works

A stable cell grid assigns each tile to the background, water or an editable motif mask. Motif groups rise first, then a rolling relief field lifts and turns the larger tile surface. Every displacement becomes exactly zero for the final reconstructed scene.

What's inside the skill

What you can change

  • columns: 24–46 controls tile density; rows adapt to the native aspect.
  • symbols: 2–5 uniquely named flower, moon or arch masks with position and radius.
  • relief: 0.25–1.2 changes the height and turning field.

What to review before delivery

  • The validator rejects out-of-bounds motif centers, unsupported shapes and duplicate motif IDs.
  • The domain test checks that every final displacement is exactly zero and IDs remain unique.
  • Visually inspect tile edges, motif readability and the final still against the opening.

Why use this skill

Start with this package

The tile identities, semantic masks and exact return behavior are packaged together. A static mosaic prompt or a generic shatter effect does not supply this controlled lift-and-reconstruct sequence.

What PopNow adds

Use PopNow for the missing Music & voice in this workflow. Keep adequate material you already own, then bring new assets back into the editing and assembly steps described here.

Compare the options

A prompt, your own skill, or this workflow?

Start with a prompt

Your agent can create from a plain request. The brief, visual rules, asset choices, output format and review process still need to be established for that project.

Write your own skill

You choose and maintain the reusable instructions, defaults, file structure and checks. This is useful when your process needs different rules or integrations.

A workflow created for PopNow

This workflow was built for PopNow. Its source files, included dependencies and applicable notices are part of the package; the scope described below belongs to this edition.

What will this cost?

The supplied scene renders locally without generated media. A new music or ambience bed is optional and requires its own PopNow quote and approval; sufficient owned audio can be reused. Local rendering still uses your computer and installed tools.

Generation is optional when you have suitable input material. Free skill. New media is quoted before it runs.

The skill package

Free to install under your account's download allowance. The package license covers your own and client work; redistribution is excluded.

Existing assets and local work

Reusing suitable assets, editing files and running local assembly do not call a PopNow generation model. Your computer and any required runtime still do the work.

New AI images, clips or sound

Quoted for the actual model, inputs, count, duration and resolution. Extra alternatives, revisions or optional enhancement passes can add generation requests.

Your agent and hosting

Any subscription, hosted computer, deployment or other provider fee belongs to that service. Installing this skill does not include those services.

Check the cost of your version first

Your assistant can inspect the available models and quote the exact request first. You choose which optional passes to include and approve spending before generation.

Ask your assistant

  • Use the PopNow skill "Golden Foil World" for my project. List the inputs you can reuse, quote only the missing media, show the quoted total and flag any unpriced steps. Separate optional enhancements, and wait for my approval before starting anything paid.

How PopNow billing works

Connections using a PopNow API key, including API-key MCP connections, spend from the separate API balance in USD. A ChatGPT or Claude connection authorized through OAuth spends website credits. These balances are separate; the quote shown by your connection is the approval basis.

Download allowances and current account conditions apply. A free package does not mean unlimited free generation.

How to use it

You say

  • Use the PopNow skill "Golden Foil World" (golden-foil-world) for this: Make a tiled garden with a flower, moon and arch. Raise it into a gold relief, return every tile home, then change the flower into another arch. Quote any optional new media first.

Then try

  • Reduce the grid to 28 columns and compare how the motifs read.

  • Render the portrait composition with relief set to 0.6.

What to have ready

  • Node.js 22.12+, the pinned dependencies, Chrome and FFmpeg.
  • A short original story and the documented JSON inputs.
  • The new film examples use ASCII text. Accents and other scripts need a suitable font plus input and layout adjustments.

Questions

Does the last frame reconstruct the original tile layout?

Yes. The final phase sets all tile offsets and turns back to their home values; the local test checks those values.

Can I turn any photograph into this film?

Not in this version. You compose the tile scene using the supported motif masks, positions and tile count.

Is this a physical gold simulation?

No. Color variation, edges, depth offsets and shadows create an illustrated relief; metal deformation is not solved.

What is already packaged in Golden Foil World?

The scene model, input validation and actual animation. A complete working scene brief. Protected project assembly and external HyperFrames export. Supported controls, asset placement and limits.

Which parts of Golden Foil World can add a charge?

The supplied scene renders locally without generated media. A new music or ambience bed is optional and requires its own PopNow quote and approval; sufficient owned audio can be reused. Local rendering still uses your computer and installed tools. Connections using a PopNow API key, including API-key MCP connections, spend from the separate API balance in USD.

How does Golden Foil World differ from writing a prompt or my own skill?

The tile identities, semantic masks and exact return behavior are packaged together. A static mosaic prompt or a generic shatter effect does not supply this controlled lift-and-reconstruct sequence.
