Transform AI-generated concept art into polished 3D animations using modern tools, bridging traditional animation skills with AI assistance.

Workflow Steps

1

Midjourney

Generate concept art and reference images

Create detailed character designs, environment concepts, and style references using specific prompts for 3D modeling reference. Include multiple angles and lighting scenarios.

2

ChatGPT

Generate 3D modeling guidance and scripts

Input the AI art and ask for detailed 3D modeling breakdowns, topology suggestions, and even basic Python scripts for Blender automation tasks.

3

Blender

Model and texture based on AI concepts

Use the AI-generated references to create 3D models, applying the suggested topology and using AI art as texture references or direct texture sources.

4

RunwayML

Generate motion references and effects

Create motion studies and VFX elements using AI video generation to reference for animation timing and special effects integration.

5

Blender

Animate and render final output

Combine all AI-assisted elements into final animations, using motion references and effects as guides for professional animation work.
