Welcome to the Blender + Seedance usecase repository.
We collect real-world Blender, Blender MCP, viewport, previs, FBX, Mixamo, ComfyUI, and agent-assisted workflows that creators used to control Seedance video generation.
The current collection is curated from user-provided X/Twitter source data. Each case links to the original post and creator profile.
Start from the EvoLink Blender-to-video cookbook, then use the Quick Start below as the repository-local workflow reference.
- 25 selected Blender + Seedance cases from public creator posts in the owner-provided source dataset.
- Covers camera control, Blender previs, multi-character blocking, action choreography, Blender MCP, Codex/Claude-assisted blockouts, FBX/Mixamo references, ComfyUI/style transfer, and known limitations.
- Each case includes the original source, creator attribution, a concise takeaway, evidence type, and publication date.
- The public list was rebuilt from the 35-candidate audit plus the requested new links into 25 primary cases.
- Use this repo to inspect practical workflows, then send users to the EvoLink Blender-to-video cookbook for setup and execution.
Note
The collection favors concrete workflow evidence over hype: source-backed steps, reference-video methods, agent/MCP usage, reproducible constraints, and clearly stated limits.
Set up the local Blender control path first, then install the EvoLink skills your agent will call.
Follow the official Blender MCP setup guide, open Blender, and make sure your agent can connect to the Blender MCP server before generating references.
- Official setup: Blender MCP setup
Install the Seedance generation skill and the Topaz upscaling skill in the agent workspace.
npm i evolink-seedance
npm i evolink-topaz-video-upscaleCreate an EvoLink API key from your account, then expose it to the agent runtime.
export EVOLINK_API_KEY="<your-evolink-api-key>"After MCP, skills, and API key are ready, ask your agent to build a Blender blockout, export the reference video, generate with Seedance, and upscale the final clip when needed.
Use Blender MCP to create a rough 5-second camera blockout for this shot, export it as a reference video, generate the final video with Seedance, then upscale the output with Topaz if the result is approved.
Note
The Blender MCP setup page is the source of truth for Blender-side installation details.
