Real footage to Blender scenes to AI video: a mixed pipeline showcase
RenderSagaAI · reddit · 2026-10-15
A Reddit user showcased a "real location → 3D scene → AI video" hybrid production pipeline in a 4:15 demo covering METU's Devrim Stadium in Ankara and Stary Rynek in Poznan.
Key points:
- Blender + Unreal Engine handle 3D; ComfyUI is used for AI-processed shots
- The edit exposes stages: real footage, clay models, finished environments, game-style shots, and AI character sequences
- Mixed production: some shots are conventional renders, some AI-processed
- Core idea: lock camera and staging in 3D before applying the AI look
Timestamped chapters (e.g. 02:20 AI characters, 03:35 fight animation blockout-to-final) are provided. It's a show-and-tell rather than a tutorial, ending with a question: at what point do others hand off from 3D renders to ComfyUI?
