GPT-6 AstraReference brief
Self-folding 3D origami animation
The author says this exact open prompt was given to GPT-6 Astra and Fable 5.1. It requests a self-running 3D origami animation in which a square sheet visibly creases and rotates through a recognizable fold sequence, unfolds, and repeats.
About this example
A starting brief based on the creator's public project, not a verbatim original prompt. Your result will vary.
Creator notes
Create a self-contained HTML 3D origami animation. Show a flat square sheet folding step by step into a recognizable origami figure through visible creases and paper rotations, then unfolding to a flat sheet and repeating automatically. Choose the figure, visual style, colors, environment, camera, detail, and presentation yourself. Do not use external models, images, sounds, or asset URLs; a JavaScript library from a CDN is allowed. The page should begin running on load without clicks and have no console errors.

The prompt
Build a 3D origami animation. A flat square sheet must fold itself step by step into a recognizable origami figure, with each fold shown as an actual crease and rotation of the paper, then unfold back to flat and repeat. The figure it becomes and how the whole thing is presented are up to you.
Everything about the design is your decision: style, colors, mood, environment, camera, level of detail, and any extra touches. Do not ask me any questions, make every choice yourself and build the most impressive version you can in a single attempt.
Technical requirements: one single self-contained HTML file, no external models, images, sounds, or asset URLs of any kind (a JavaScript library from a CDN is fine). It must start running on its own the moment it loads, with no clicks needed, and run smoothly with no console errors.
How to use this prompt
Choose one thing to change
Swap the subject, art style or setting. Keep the camera and interaction clear. Build a small version first, then refine one detail at a time.
Give the scene its own assets
For a custom character or prop, create a 3D model from a short object description or reference image, then bring it into your project.
