What are interaction animation presets?
Interaction animation presets are the motions where a character acts on the world rather than on another character: opening and closing doors, picking up, carrying and using objects, and the job motions such as mining, chopping trees, planting, watering, harvesting and fishing. In Ludo's library these are the work loops that farming, crafting and survival games are built out of.

Frequently asked questions
Is there an animation for opening a door or picking up an item?
Objects and doors is one of two categories in Ludo's interaction group, covering door interactions and object handling, picking up, carrying and using, as named presets. Jobs and crafting is the other, with work motions such as Mining, Chop Tree, Plant Seed, Water Plants, Harvest Crop and a five-stage fishing set from cast to reel in. Each is a distinct preset with its own video preview.
Can I animate a crafting or gathering loop?
Yes. Ludo's loop mode trims the generated sheet for looping, so a mining swing or a watering motion comes back loop-ready and can repeat for as long as the job runs. Every preset shows its duration and plays as a video preview before anything is generated.
Which perspective suits interaction animations?
All five of Ludo's camera perspectives are available for every interaction preset. Top-Down and Isometric tend to suit interaction-heavy games such as farming and survival sims, where the character works surrounded by objects, while Side fits platformers. Perspective and compass direction are both chosen at generation time, so one preset covers every case.
Do I need a reference video to animate a work motion?
No. A named preset in Ludo defines the motion on its own, so a chopping or crafting animation needs no reference footage. A reference video of around four seconds is one of the four ways to drive an animation, alongside presets, a text motion prompt and drawn keyframes, for motions the library does not cover.
