Blender Integration

Blender Integration

Overview

The Blender Integration in ACT 3 AI allows creators to seamlessly transfer sets, props, and camera data between ACT 3 AI’s Top Down View / Scenes and Blender for advanced 3D modeling, lighting, and animation. This workflow gives you the flexibility of ACT 3 AI’s AI-assisted scene setup with the full creative power of Blender’s 3D environment.

Key Capabilities

• Scene Export: Send scenes and shots from ACT 3 AI to Blender with camera placement, prop coordinates, and lighting intact.
• Asset Import: Bring Blender-created props, sets, or characters back into ACT 3 AI for AI-assisted rendering.
• Camera Sync: Match Blender camera angles and movements with Cinematography tools in ACT 3 AI.
• Lighting Transfer: Keep your lighting setups consistent between platforms.
• Animation Bridge: Use Blender’s animation tools for advanced motion, then integrate results into Build Video.

How to Export from ACT 3 AI to Blender

1. Open your scene in Top Down View or Editor.
2. Click **Export → Blender (.blend or .fbx)**.
3. Choose export settings (include props, cameras, lights).
4. Save the export file and open it in Blender.

How to Import from Blender to ACT 3 AI

1. In Blender, prepare your model or animation.
2. Export as `.fbx`, `.usd`, or `.obj`.
3. In ACT 3 AI, go to **Assets → Import** and select your file.
4. Place imported assets into your scene and adjust with AI tools.

Common Use Cases

• Creating highly detailed props or environments.
• Animating complex character movements before AI rendering.
• Refining set design with Blender’s modeling tools.
• Integrating physics simulations from Blender into ACT 3 AI shots.

Tips & Best Practices

• Keep asset polygon counts manageable for smooth import/export.
• Use consistent naming conventions for props and cameras to avoid mismatches.
• Test lighting in both Blender and ACT 3 AI to ensure visual consistency.
• Use Blender’s baking tools to pre-render lighting or textures for faster AI rendering.
