Animated 2D scene used to create looping animation video using Unity's "Recorder" plugin. I created this specifically to have a animated backdrop for my music video on youtube.This asset was inspired by the growing trend of long-form looping animated videos on YouTube, particularly in the LoFi music scene. I wanted to experiment with creating something similar, but using Unity's toolset instead of traditional video editing software. The final result was rendered using Unity's "Recorder" plug-in.Key PointsMade for creating pre-rendered videos, not real-time useExperimental projectScripts were developed collaboratively between myself and claude.ai - while AI assisted with code generation, all creative decisions and implementation choices were human-drivenSome 2D assets were created through a combination of human design and stable diffusion assistanceYou can see the final animation (youtube video link) on the Unity Asset Store pageAsset Structure2D assets use .psb format (layered Photoshop files)Uses Unity's "2D Animation" package for rigging and animationIncludes custom scripts for visual effectsScripts OverviewAll scripts in this project work together to create various atmospheric effects like floating dust, god rays, steam, and natural movements for the environment.

Stable Diffusion was also part of the creation process. This is a hybrid approach, much of the 2D assets were hand drawn by me, but AI was used for ideation and quick tests.
