Using 3D to Image

1. Prepare your project in the 3D scene and navigate to the desired time frame to capture a reference image for AI generation.
   
   Use color-coded primitive shapes to previsualize the scene layout if needed.
2. Click Capture Image from 3D Viewport in the AI Studio Tools toolbar to send the captured image to AI Studio.
   
   
   If starting from AI Studio, click Capture Image from 3D Viewport in the 3D Viewport Image section of the 3D Guided Gen tool under the 3D to Image tab. The image output render ratio and resolution can be adjusted in this section.
   
3. The captured image appears in the Image slot of AI Studio, using the preset Image Ratio and Resolution settings.
   
   
   Hover over the image thumbnail to view an enlarged preview. If the result is unsatisfactory, click the Trash button to remove the current input.
   
4. Click Edit 3D Scene to switch to the 3D viewport for object editing or capturing an image from a different time frame.
   
5. The 3D viewport will appear. To prevent the generated results from being affected by the captured image’s materials or colors, switch the actor to gray model mode. First select the character, then switch to the Material tab in the Modify panel, select all materials, and set Diffuse Color strength to 0 under the Texture Settings section.
   
   Using Characters for 3D-Guided Generation

   When generating images, you can choose different character setups based on your production needs. Adding an AI Actor reference allows the AI to maintain character consistency based on the referenced actor rather than the original 3D character assets. The table below summarizes how each character type influences the generated results:

   Character Type	AI Output
   Basic Character Fully textured and shaded 3D character.		The AI may rely too heavily on the original 3D appearance, making characters appear overly CG and reducing creative flexibility.
   Gray Model Character Simplified materials and textures with reduced shading.		Characters appear less CG, with more detailed, natural, and realistic facial expressions and movements, while AI Actor references help maintain character consistency across shots and camera angles.

6. Click Capture Image from 3D Viewport in the AI Studio Tools toolbar to send the updated image to the AI Tool using the selected image ratio and resolution.
   

Since the captured image uses a gray model character, an AI Actor is required to provide richer reference data for more precise character control during image generation. Create a custom AI Actor for the character and assign it as needed to ensure consistent character output across scenes.

1. Click the Actor slot in the AI Actor section to insert an actor.
   
2. In the AI Actor Manager pop-up, locate the custom actor under the Custom tab. Double-click it, right-click and select Apply, or click the Select button at the bottom to apply the chosen actor.
   
   Close the AI Actor Manager to continue using other functions in AI Studio.
3. Hover over an actor’s thumbnail to view an enlarged preview. If it is not satisfactory, hover over the thumbnail and click the Trash icon to remove the actor.
   
4. You can add up to 4 actors per image. If multiple characters are present in the captured 3D image, click the Assign Actors button to assign AI actors to each character, enabling accurate recognition within the scene.
   
   Ensure a captured image is inserted into the Image slot to enable this button.
5. Auto-detected faces in the 3D image appear with bounding boxes matching the number of AI actors. Drag the bounding box to the target face in the 3D image.
   
   Hover over a corner handle and drag to resize the box proportionally, if needed.
6. Click an AI Actor thumbnail at the bottom to assign the detected face to that actor. The bounding box ID will automatically update to match the assigned actor.
   
   Repeat the previous two steps until all actors are assigned.
7. Click Apply to confirm, or Cancel to exit the dialog. The assigned result appears in the Image slot next to the Assign Actors button.
   
   
   Hover over the image thumbnail to view an enlarged version, or click the Trash button to remove the assigned result.
   
   Note that the assigned result will be removed if any of the following occur:
   • The captured 3D image is updated.
   • The number of AI actors is increased or decreased.

An assigned AI Actor displays a name tag in the Prompt section for quick prompt editing. Click the Reset Prompt button to clear the prompt field and start over if needed.

• Move tags anywhere within the prompt by cutting and pasting them.
• Hover over an actor thumbnail and click Copy to insert the actor's tag into the prompt, or type @ to select an applied AI Actor from the context menu.
  

You can adjust the image capture ratio and resolution using the drop-down menus to change or include more of the frame composition. Available options may vary slightly depending on the selected AI model, as shown below.

After adjusting the output ratio and resolution, click the Capture Image from 3D Viewport button again to recapture the 3D viewport image with the updated settings and replace the image in the Image slot.
