Description
Ever wanted to turn a simple AI-generated video into a fully cinematic 3D environment?
In this course, digital artist Jonathan Lam will show you how to take an AI video generated with Envato VideoGen and transform it into a production-ready 3D scene inside Blender, complete with lighting, atmosphere, props, and custom camera movement.
We’ll cover the full workflow step by step:
• How to prompt AI video specifically for 3D integration
• How to use AI footage as a background plate in Blender
• How to layer 3D assets, lighting, and atmosphere for depth
• How to add cinematic details like dust, birds, and camera motion
• How to render the final animation for film, games, or motion graphics
This workflow is perfect for short films, game cutscenes, world-building concepts, and experimental motion design — no VFX team required.
If you’re exploring AI-driven creative workflows and want results that still feel handcrafted, this one’s for you.
