Blender previs + MiniMax H3 reference-to-video: a reproducible anime workflow
Time-Ad-7720 · reddit · 2026-11-01
A Redditor shares a full workflow combining traditional 3D previsualization with local AI video generation:
- Built a low-poly biplane and landscape (meadows, forests, mountains, lakes, clouds) in Blender using ChatGPT + Blender MCP, with multiple camera angles animated in a 15-second loop
- Final frames generated via Blender shots as visual references, a custom biplane reference sheet, a pilot character reference, MiniMax H3 reference-to-video in ComfyUI, and structured prompts — targeting a 1990s hand-drawn anime look
- Rationale: test camera moves and composition in lightweight 3D before committing to expensive AI video generations
- Original soundtrack written and performed by the author, AI-assisted vocals via Suno
Full workflow, assets, and prompts are linked in the post.
