From Blender to Topview

What is the Topview Blender plugin?

The Topview Blender plugin exports clay-render videos from Blender to Topview, where Seedance 2.5 turns them into cinematic videos. Keep your scene editable in Blender and refine it whenever you need another take.

Why use the Topview Blender plugin

From clay render to finished video, in one workflow

Export directly to Topview, create with an AI agent, and return to Blender whenever you want to refine the shot.

Send your clay video to Topview in one click

Export a clay-render video from your Blender scene and send it directly to Topview with the plugin. Bring your scene layout and camera motion into your video workflow without a separate manual upload.

Create the finished video with a Topview agent

Topview’s AI agent takes your clay video through to a finished video with Seedance 2.5. Describe the look you want and complete the creative process in one place.

Edit in Blender. Export again.

Need a different camera move or scene layout? Adjust objects, camera paths or keyframes in Blender, then export a new clay video to Topview for another version.

GPT-6 + Blender + Topview

Take a GPT-6-assisted Blender scene further

Use GPT-6 Astra to help develop a Blender scene, then review its objects and keyframed animation in Blender. Once the camera move works, the Topview Blender plugin carries your rendered reference into the video workflow.

OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra introduction includes a Blender modeling demonstration. Scene assistance is an optional starting point for this workflow; GPT-6 is not built into the Topview plugin.

An example scene brief

Help me build a simple alley scene in Blender with editable buildings, a parked car and a camera that slowly moves forward before revealing the car. Keep the objects separate and put the camera motion on keyframes so I can revise the shot.

Describe the scene
Ask GPT-6 to help plan the objects, layout and camera animation for a specific shot.
Review and adjust
Check the scene in Blender. Refine geometry, object placement and keyframes before rendering.
Send the clay video
Export through the Topview plugin and import the reference into your Topview project.
Develop the final look
Use Seedance 2.5 in Topview to explore a cinematic treatment based on that reference.

You can also build the scene yourself. The plugin imports the rendered video, regardless of how the Blender scene was created.

Blender plugin FAQ

It renders a video from your Blender scene camera or prepares an existing local video, then opens a browser flow to import it into Topview Board or Canvas. You can use that video as a reference for an AI-generated cinematic version in Topview.

A neutral clay animation lets you work on the shot’s composition, object movement and camera timing before final materials and lighting. Use the clip to guide the video generation, and describe the visual treatment you want in Topview.

Yes. Reopen the original Blender scene, edit the objects, camera or animation, and export a new reference video. The generated video is an output clip; the editable 3D source remains in Blender.

AI video generation takes place in Topview. The plugin exports or prepares a video and imports it into your project; you choose Seedance 2.5 and configure the generation in Topview.

Yes, if it is a working Blender scene that you can render. Review the scene and keyframes, export the camera animation with the plugin, then continue in Topview. GPT-6 is an optional scene-building aid, not a built-in feature or requirement of this plugin.

Yes. The plugin has a Local Video option alongside Camera Render. Select an existing video, let the plugin prepare it, and use Upload to Topview to choose its destination project in the browser.

The clay-render mode temporarily uses a uniform gray Workbench appearance and restores the saved render settings when it finishes or is cancelled. Keep your Blender project saved so you can return to the source scene and refine another version.

The import flow transfers the rendered or selected video, not the editable .blend scene. Keep Blender open and use a browser on the same computer to complete the handoff. Your objects and keyframes stay in your local project.

Start with a shot you can revise, then explore the cinematic treatment it deserves.
