How to turn a Blender render into AI video

Render a still, a clay pass or an animation in Blender, send it to Morphic with the Morphic for Blender add-on, then restyle it and generate video from it.

Try 3D Scene

A Blender AI render workflow keeps Blender for layout, camera and timing, and hands the final look to an AI model. Render in Blender, send the render to Morphic with the Morphic for Blender add-on, then restyle the frame and generate video from it.

Where AI fits in a Blender workflow

AI fits at the end of the Blender job, once the set is built and the camera placed. Morphic picks up the render: it restyles a frame from a prompt, turns a still into a moving shot, and helps keep a character or location the same across shots.

The bridge is Morphic for Blender, a free add-on with a Morphic tab in the 3D viewport sidebar.

  • ChatCopilot edits the scene with scripts you approve, one undo step each.
  • Image and Video tabsGenerate inside Blender; a clip can start from the camera view. 3D tab on paid plans.
  • Send renderYour last still or animation goes straight to your Morphic assets.
  • One file per .blendEach .blend keeps its chats, generations and renders together.

The Blender AI render workflow

Render a still, a clay pass or an animation in Blender

A still suits a styled frame. A clay pass, every object in plain grey, gives clean shapes and light; an animation carries a camera move. Match the finished shot's aspect ratio.

Send the Blender render to Morphic

In the Morphic tab, Send render uploads your last still and Send animation an MP4, QuickTime or WebM file. Without the add-on, export and upload the file.

Generate a styled frame from the Blender still

Attach the render and describe the look. The render guides the framing; the prompt sets materials, light and mood. Try two image models side by side on the Canvas.

Styled frame prompt

Keep the layout and the camera. Make the cottage weathered grey stone with a slate roof, warm light in the windows, low sea fog and a violet dusk sky.

Edit prompt

Generate video from the Blender render

Animate the styled frame with image to video. When a Blender animation carries the move, attach it as a reference video with the styled frame and keep the take that follows it best.

Edit prompt

Cut the shots from Blender together in Compose

Trim, order, grade and add sound in Compose. Shots rendered from one Blender set share its geography, so the cuts start from one consistent space.

Keep the look consistent across shots with reference sheets

Reference sheets keep a character or place the same from shot to shot: the render places things, the sheets carry faces, costumes and materials.

Attach the same sheets every time

Attach a character sheet per recurring person and a location sheet per set to every generation, and describe each person in the same words each time.

Render the set from several cameras

Render one set from several cameras and restyle each with the same location sheet, so every angle shares one place.

When to skip Blender and block in Morphic instead

Skip Blender when the shot needs blocking more than modelling. See the 3D scene generator, turning a 3D scene into AI video, Blender alternatives, the 3D Scene product page, and 3D render prompts for rendered looks.

Block it in 3D Scene

For placing people, moving a camera and timing a cut, use Morphic's 3D Scene on the Canvas. Copilot builds the set, cast and camera from a description, or place them from the model library. The blocking video renders in your browser at no credit cost.

Keep Blender for the build

Keep Blender for sculpting, rigging and shaders. Export your models as .glb, .gltf or .obj and upload them into 3D Scene, textures included.

FAQs

Is there an AI add-on for Blender?
Yes. Morphic for Blender is a free add-on that adds a Morphic tab to the sidebar of the 3D viewport. Its Copilot changes the scene with scripts you approve, its Image and Video tabs, and the 3D tab on paid plans, generate from inside Blender, and Send render or Send animation puts your renders in Morphic.
Can AI texture or render my Blender scene?
Partly. The add-on's Copilot can change the scene: describe the lighting, materials or layout and it writes a script that runs when you click Apply, as one undo step. The final render stays Blender's job. Morphic then restyles that render into new frames and video from a prompt.
Can I upload a Blender file to Morphic?
No. Morphic does not import .blend files. Send stills and animations with the Morphic for Blender add-on, or export them from Blender and upload them. To block a shot with your own models in 3D Scene, export the models from Blender as .glb, .gltf or .obj and upload those, with their textures.
Which file formats can I upload from Blender?
Renders go in as images and videos. Send render uploads the last still as a PNG, and Send animation takes MP4, QuickTime or WebM. Image sequences are not accepted, so render animations to a video file. For 3D Scene, upload models as .glb, .gltf or .obj, as a file, a folder or a .zip.
