Input
Blender Previs
A simple 3D animation defines the camera path, composition, cuts, object movement, and timing before generation.
Use MiniMax H3 With Your Blender Animation
Export your animated Blender scene as a preview video, then use MiniMax H3 Max to develop the characters, materials, lighting, and environment while keeping your planned camera move, blocking, action, and timing. Upload an exported video—not a .blend file.
Built for Blender previs and clay rendersSource clips up to 15 seconds480P, 768P, or 1080P output
Upload a 3D preview up to 15 seconds. Its layout, camera, motion, and timing guide the finished video.
Only explain details that are unclear in the preview. Camera movement and timing come from the video.
Add up to 8 images for subjects, materials, lighting, or environments.

See a MiniMax H3 Blender Preview Become Finished Video
Compare the actual animated Blender input with its generated result. The source establishes the shot; MiniMax H3 Max interprets the finished visual world.
Output
MiniMax H3 Max Video
The generated video adds characters, surfaces, atmosphere, lighting, and cinematic detail around the planned movement.
This is generative video, not a deterministic Blender render. Treat the source as strong motion and layout guidance, then review identity, geometry, occlusion, and fine details in every result.
Plan in Blender, Develop the Look With MiniMax H3 Blender
Use each tool for the decisions it handles best: deterministic shot design in Blender and generative visual development in MiniMax H3 Max.
Blender Controls the Camera
Lock the camera path, lens intent, framing, cuts, and pacing in the source animation before you upload it.
Blender Controls the Blocking
Stage characters, products, vehicles, and environmental proxies so their positions and trajectories are readable.
Blender Controls the Timing
Set action beats, object motion, shot duration, and edit rhythm in the preview rather than asking a prompt to invent them.
MiniMax H3 Develops the Look
Guide materials, surface detail, character appearance, production design, and overall visual treatment.
MiniMax H3 Builds Atmosphere
Explore lighting, weather, environmental depth, and cinematic texture without fully shading the Blender scene first.
The Result Is a Video
Download a finished clip for review or editing. The workflow does not return an editable mesh, rig, material graph, or .blend scene.
Prepare a Clear Scene for the MiniMax H3 Blender Workflow
A readable previs gives the model stronger spatial and temporal guidance than a detailed but visually confusing viewport capture.
Use Distinct Proxy Shapes
Give important characters and objects recognizable silhouettes, scale, and enough separation to stay legible through motion.
Separate Subjects With Color
Simple contrasting proxy colors can clarify which object is which without requiring final materials or textures.
Finish the Camera Move
Approve the intended camera path, framing, blocking, major action, and cut timing before exporting the preview.
Keep Motion Readable
Avoid long full occlusions, intersecting proxies, or extremely fast cuts that make the planned action hard to understand.
Collect Appearance References
Prepare consistent images for any character, product, vehicle, environment, material, or lighting design that must remain recognizable.
Match the Final Framing
Compose the Blender preview in the aspect ratio and crop you actually want so the source reflects the approved shot.
Export Previs for the MiniMax H3 Blender Generator
Export a clean viewing copy of the animation. You do not need to package the scene file, materials, textures, or external dependencies.
Export a Supported Video
Use MP4, MOV, WebM, M4V, or GIF. The generator accepts a video file, not a .blend project.
Keep It Within 15 Seconds
Trim the source to the exact shot or sequence you want to develop. The upload limit is 15 seconds and 100MB.
Use a Stable Frame Rate
Avoid variable-frame-rate exports that can make action beats and edit timing harder to interpret consistently.
Preserve the Intended Aspect Ratio
Export the same landscape, portrait, or square framing you want the generated shot to follow.
Check Compressed Readability
Watch the exported file and confirm that silhouettes, proxy colors, action, and camera movement remain clear after compression.
Keep the Blender Project
Return to the source scene when camera, blocking, or timing needs revision; the generated result is not a replacement project file.
Run the MiniMax H3 Blender Workflow in Five Steps
Move from deterministic previs to generative finish, then use the result to decide whether the next revision belongs in Blender or in your visual guidance.
01
Animate the Shot
Build readable proxies, finish the camera move, stage the main action, and approve the timing in Blender.
02
Export the Previs
Render a clear video up to 15 seconds in the intended framing. Upload the video rather than the .blend file.
03
Describe Scene Intent
Explain what ambiguous proxies represent and specify the setting, materials, light, weather, and photographic treatment.
04
Add Visual References
Optionally upload up to eight complementary images for subjects and environments, then choose 480P, 768P, or 1080P.
05
Review and Iterate
Check camera fidelity, action, identity, geometry, and look. Fix structural issues in Blender; refine appearance with references and scene intent.
Use MiniMax H3 Blender Across Previs and Production Design
Start with a shot that is easier to control in 3D, then generate a visual treatment that is easier to judge, pitch, and edit.
Architecture and Interiors
Develop a blockout or flythrough into an atmospheric visualization while keeping the planned route through the space.
Product and Vehicle Films
Preserve a designed turntable, reveal, chase, or mechanical action while exploring surfaces, lighting, and environments.
Narrative Previsualization
Turn camera choreography and character blocking into a more finished proof of concept for a director, team, or client.
Game Cinematics
Develop a rough cutscene animation into a richer cinematic treatment without discarding its action beats and edit timing.
VFX Concept Shots
Use proxy effects, creatures, vehicles, and virtual-camera passes to test a polished direction before a heavier production commitment.
Advertising Treatments
Transform an approved 3D animatic into a campaign-style look for creative review, pitches, or rapid visual exploration.
Know the Limits of the MiniMax H3 Blender Workflow
The workflow is strongest when you need visual exploration around an already planned shot. It is not a deterministic renderer or a 3D asset generator.
No Direct .blend Upload
Export the animation as a supported video. The generator cannot inspect your scene graph, modifiers, materials, or linked assets.
No Editable 3D Output
The result is a video, not a mesh, rig, texture set, camera track, material graph, or Blender project.
No Frame-Exact Guarantee
Camera and timing are guided by the source, but fine geometry, identity, occlusion, surfaces, and secondary motion may vary.
No Blender Plugin Required
This is a browser-based workflow. Export from Blender, upload the clip here, and download the generated video.
Not a Cycles or Eevee Replacement
Use traditional rendering when exact geometry, materials, lighting, passes, or reproducible frames are production requirements.
Review Every Generation
Inspect faces, hands, object count, brand details, collisions, and physical continuity before using a result in production.
MiniMax H3 Blender Questions About Files, Control, and Output
Answers for Blender artists preparing previs, choosing references, and deciding what to revise after generation.
Can MiniMax H3 open a Blender .blend file?
No. Export your Blender animation as MP4, MOV, WebM, M4V, or GIF and upload that video. Keep the original .blend project for structural revisions.
What should I finish in Blender before using MiniMax H3?
Finish the camera path, framing, blocking, major object and character motion, cuts, pacing, and overall shot duration. Final materials and production lighting are optional.
Does MiniMax H3 preserve the exact Blender camera move?
The source video provides strong camera and timing guidance, but the output is generative rather than frame-exact. Review the result for drift, geometry changes, and occlusion errors.
How long can my Blender previs be?
The connected 3D-to-video generator accepts a source video up to 15 seconds and 100MB, with support for sequences containing up to 32 shots.
Do I need to finish Blender materials and lighting first?
No. A clay render or colored blockout can work when its geometry, silhouettes, motion, and spatial relationships are easy to read. References can guide the final appearance.
What should I write in the scene-intent field?
Explain what proxies represent, then describe the setting, time, weather, materials, lighting, and visual treatment. Keep camera movement and action visible in the source video.
How many reference images can I use?
You can upload up to eight images for characters, products, vehicles, environments, materials, or lighting. If you upload none, choose a limit of one to eight generated references.
Which output resolutions are available?
The generator offers 480P, 768P, and 1080P output. The credit estimate depends on source duration, selected quality, and any generated appearance references.
Should I revise a bad result in Blender or in MiniMax H3?
Fix camera, composition, blocking, action, and timing in Blender. Refine identity, materials, environment, lighting, weather, and style with scene intent and reference images.
Does this workflow replace Cycles or Eevee?
No. Use Cycles or Eevee when you need deterministic geometry, materials, lighting, render passes, or repeatable frames. Use this workflow for rapid generative visual development.
Create With the MiniMax H3 Blender Workflow
Upload the animation you already planned, guide the final appearance, and generate a polished video from the same camera, blocking, and timing.
