Could you build this?
Partial While the UI for controlling parameters is straightforward, implementing robust 2D procedural motion, mesh deformation, and skeletal/vertex skinning requires specialized graphics programming.
What it would actually take: Building this requires a graphics stack using WebGL, WebGPU, or a framework like Pixi.js/Three.js with custom vertex shaders for procedural deformation (waving, breathing, secondary physics). The hardest parts are automatic mesh generation (Delaunay triangulation) from alpha masks and inverse kinematics or harmonic deformation math for 2D sprites.
