Learn how to use 3D assets in Gen-4 References.
- Using 3D assets as part of your generative workflow allows you to control specific scene elements contained in your reference image
- While you can’t use 3D models directly in Runway, you can still create pre-comp images that can be brought in and used with References
- Start by using your 3D application of choice
- Build out a very basic 3D scene
- Use the 3D camera to get the angle that you’re looking for
- Export the camera POV as a single still image
- Import that image into References, and combine it with a style reference image and a text prompt
- The prompt should look something like “render image 1 in the style of image 2”
- Try swapping out image 2 with different style references for different results
- Once you get an image you like, try asking References for different angles of the scene, or closeups on specific elements
- Choose your favorite images, turn them into videos with Gen-4, then edit them together for your final video result
