Using MiniMax H3 video to digitize 2D game sprites like Mortal Kombat
victormustar · x · 2026-08-18
A developer shared a workflow to digitize 2D game sprites using the MiniMax H3 video model:
- Design a character still on a flat magenta backdrop;
- Generate a 5-second H3 clip per move;
- Extract frames to pose extremes;
- Key out the magenta and pack into a sprite atlas.
This replicates the "Mortal Kombat" method, generating a character with 8 moves for about $5.
