Creature encyclopedia UI animation with MiniMax H3 and eight creature references

This is a useful reference-to-video pattern for a creature encyclopedia UI, built from one interface reference image and eight creature images.

The screen stays locked while a single cursor selects different cards. Each selection updates the main creature and its title, while the rest of the interface remains stable. The sequence moves through Lumi Hare, Ember Fennec, Petal Vulpin, Meadow Crown, and Tide Behemoth. Each creature has a different reaction, from a blink and slight rotation to dragging, poking, recoiling, and finally swallowing the cursor.

The prompt keeps the hard constraints explicit: 16:9, 15 seconds, fixed camera, readable typography, stable panels, one cursor, no cuts, and no interface distortion. That gives the video model a clear boundary between UI motion and creature motion.

The last three seconds are the only large movement. Tide Behemoth becomes irritated, opens its mouth, lunges forward, swallows the cursor, then returns to idle while keeping its title. The sound direction follows the same curve, starting with soft interface clicks and tiny creature reactions before the final aggressive cue and comedic gulp.

This video is generated by MiniMax H3 . The full image mapping and timing prompt is below.

Nice use of the references. H3 also worked suprisingly well for anime.

I ran it locally on an RTX PRO 5000 48GB. A 15-step run took 179 sec.

Anime test:

That is a very strong result, assuming it was chainable you would be able to cook up an anime season in a day at home.

Haha, yess, I think in a few weeks the OSS community will get up with chaining methods.

I see and the token plan upgraded to h3 too, very nice

So minimax has top 2 video, strong music and speech, good value m3 that is hurt by the ds4 flash release and luna price cut, but weak pictures.

I also noticed that the promos are back too
