Umbrella Teardown

Articulated SVG umbrella mechanism with rain deflection and spring response.

Description

A technical animation of a closed umbrella that separates into its component ribs and stretchers, snaps open, and deflects rain before folding back. It demonstrates articulated SVG constraints, deforming canopy meshes, and procedural collisions generated via a multi-step rigging workflow.

Prompt

“Build a 12s coded umbrella teardown. Rig 12 ribs and stretchers to a sliding runner, morph canopy panels, add spring response and rain deflection, then reverse to a clean close. Render SVG frames; inspect full/feed playback.”
