Taiwan’s indigenous myths carry profound cultural meanings. Notably, the Paiwan people’s veneration of the “Sun Egg” and the “Hundred-Pacer Snake” serve as key symbols of their cultural identity. As a “guardian,” the Hundred-Pacer Snake is intertwined with solar origin narratives and deeply embedded in the Paiwan spiritual framework. However, these precious cultural heritages are gradually fading from collective memory under the influence of social change and external cultures. This study aims to use animation as a medium to express Paiwan myths and cultural stories, thereby promoting the development of Taiwan’s indigenous cultures and facilitating cultural exchange and understanding.

Generative artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the field of animation, offering autonomous content creation that enhances production efficiency and creative expression. This research explores the application of Tensor.Art’s generative AI in animation to assess the impact of generative AI on animation workflows, ultimately aiming to improve creative efficiency and output quality. In addition, it investigates the potentials and challenges of deploying generative AI within the context of culturalheritage animation, with particular attention to maintaining stylistic coherence in AIgenerated content.

By fusing Paiwan mythology with contemporary technological advances, this creative thesis seeks to safeguard and disseminate indigenous culture through animation, to elucidate the benefits and limitations of generative AI in animation production, and to provide foundational references for future cultural promotion and digital content creation.
