IMPASTO
Impasto oil paint motion video
IMPASTO is an AI Skill for Claude Code, Codex and Cursor that renders a palette-knife impasto oil paint motion video with an original score synthesised in code. A film painted in code as thick palette-knife oil paint: big opaque planes with ridges and lips, a low raking light that gives the paint body, warm light and cool shadow, the purest colour kept for the subject and paint-over transitions instead of dissolves, rendered as an MP4, a poster and a contact sheet.

FAQ
Paste it into Claude Code, Codex or Cursor and give it the one message and the brand name. The AI installs GSAP and the render tools, writes a storyboard and renders the MP4, a poster and a contact sheet frame by frame in your project folder. How Skills work
Every stroke is an opaque palette-knife plane with ridges, lips and broken run-outs, raked by a low light so the paint has body. There is no grain, and transitions paint over the frame instead of dissolving.
