Let me hit you with some mind-blowing stats:

Now, you might be thinking, “Govind, Runway doesn’t have a ‘make hugging animation’ button!” And you’re right. But I’m about to show you how to hack the system and create hugging animations that’ll make your followers hit that share button faster than you can say “viral content.”
Let’s break this down into four simple steps:
Step 1: Generate Character Models (5 minutes)
