Fable 5.2 turned one raw tripo model into a RIGGED game character in 36 minutes, from one prompt in blender. so i compared it to my opus 5.5 hero

each one started from a single tripo generation, about $0.60

• fable 5.2: cleaned it, 25 bones, sword and shield, 2 clips, 36 min, about $61 at api prices
• opus 5.5: cleaned it, 25 bones, sword and shield, 8 clips, about 21 min, about $28 at api prices

tip: make it check its own work with numbers. grip within 1 cm of the palm, exactly 2 eyes in the texture, cape stretch under 3x
