Dev says GPT-6 Astra solved his months-stuck mocap retargeting workflow in two hours
tinyfool · x · 2026-09-05
A developer shares a first-hand account of using GPT-6 Astra to break through a mocap retargeting problem that stumped him and nearly every model he'd tested. From model testing to rig, retarget, and Unity validation, the full workflow took just two hours.
- Notable gains in spatial understanding, image understanding, modeling, and continuous motion; concise output with little defensive programming.
- Usage: on a $200 x20 plan, running three astra medium instances plus one xhigh consumed 12% of weekly quota in two hours; the core problem took under 1%.
- He estimates Fable would have burned half his weekly quota or more without solving it.
