✦ One engine · 12 characters · 24 emotions

One feeling, twelve characters.

The emotion wheel — the standard map of how feelings relate — all 24 of its feelings across three intensities, on a dog, a cat, a child, a robot, a phone and more. All from a single animation engine that never changes.

Pick a feeling — watch every character feel it

Choose an emotion and an intensity. The same feeling drives all twelve characters at once — the only thing that differs is the shape it lives in.

Background

Every character, the full wheel

Pick a character to see all 24 emotions — eight families, each across mild → mid → intense.

How one engine does it

One recipe, any character

Nine named parts — head, two ears, two brows, eyes, nose, mouth, accent. Swap floppy ears for antennae, hair, or side mirrors and the same 24-emotion recipe just plays on it.

The whole emotion wheel

Eight primary families — joy, trust, fear, surprise, sadness, disgust, anger, anticipation — each at three intensities. Intensity is simply how hard the snap hits (×0.55 / ×1.0 / ×1.5).

Two-scene morph, motion-safe

Every shape dwells on a calm pose, snaps to the feeling, then releases. Dual-tone only (dark + amber), and every peak stays inside the frame.

The feelings, defined

All twenty-four feelings — eight families, three intensities each. Every word with a plain meaning, a precise definition, and the shape that shows it.

Which one do you feel?

Three ways to compare — the same feeling across different characters, different feelings on one character, or a free mix. Vote, and watch the room.

Name the feeling

Read a scene, watch a shape, pick a shape, or match the set — then choose the emotion. Five questions a round, each with a hint and a plain answer.
