Mass-weighted support positions arrange nested suspension rods. Coupled pendulum equations evolve their angles under an initial impulse and damping, moving the attached crescent, oval and ring as a decorative kinetic composition.

What you get

  1. A real 1280 × 720 MP4, poster, contact sheet and source-hash receipt

  2. Editable local JSON and the task-specific implementation

Good for

  • Kinetic-art studies and calm sculptural interludes.

Not for

  • A structural safety analysis, fabrication-ready balance plan or full three-dimensional rigid-body solver.

How it works

Includes a local renderer

  1. Prepare the actual input

    The bundled procedural scene; no image is needed.

  2. Apply the supported controls

    Change the left mass and resulting support position. Set the initial breeze strength. Adjust damping and film duration.

  3. Build and review the result

    The video renderer streams frames locally, emits H.264/yuv420p with fast-start metadata, and is silent. Add separately authorized audio in an external edit only if requested.

How Suspended Mobile Ballet works

Mass-weighted support positions arrange nested suspension rods. Coupled pendulum equations evolve their angles under an initial impulse and damping, moving the attached crescent, oval and ring as a decorative kinetic composition.

What's inside the skill

What you can change

  • Change the left mass and resulting support position.
  • Set the initial breeze strength.
  • Adjust damping and film duration.

What to review before delivery

  • The selftest changes mass and verifies a visible frame difference.
  • Review connections, balance and movement limits during full playback.

Why use this skill

Start with this package

Mass-weighted support positions arrange nested suspension rods. Coupled pendulum equations evolve their angles under an initial impulse and damping, moving the attached crescent, oval and ring as a decorative kinetic composition. The package supplies the working example, bounded inputs and export route so these do not need to be designed from a plain prompt.

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.

Guide reviewed Oct 25, 2026

What will this cost?

The bundled procedural or font-based example runs locally without media generation. Computer time and the agent or external viewer you use are outside PopNow generation charges. New optional media requested later needs its own quote.

The supplied route runs locally. A new-media request is a separate choice. 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.

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.

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 "Suspended Mobile Ballet" (suspended-mobile-ballet) for this: Balance a hanging sculpture and animate its damped, coupled response to a gentle initial breeze. Start with the bundled project, make the requested edits and inspect the actual output.

Then try

  • Change the left mass and resulting support position.

  • Set the initial breeze strength.

What to have ready

  • The bundled procedural scene; no image is needed.
  • Python, Pillow, NumPy and FFmpeg/ffprobe.

Questions

Are the rods driven by a fixed cam?

No. The angles follow coupled damped pendulum equations. The decorative projection is intentionally simple and is not a complete physical model of a manufactured mobile.

Does the bundled example require paid generation?

No. The included assets or procedural inputs run locally. If you ask for new images, clips or sound, use PopNow with an exact quote and approval before generation; API USD and OAuth website credits are separate.

What is already packaged in Suspended Mobile Ballet?

Calculates weighted suspension positions and integrates coupled damped pendulum angles. Local validation, protected output and artifact construction. Runnable example with actual supported controls. Mechanism-specific limits and visual review criteria.
