AI 3D Character Creator for Character Videos
Use Vidu to turn a character image or concept into an animated video clip. It is built for video generation, not for exporting a 3D mesh or rig.
How Vidu Compares for 3D Character Videos
Compare Vidu with manual character workflows when you want a faster way to turn a character concept into video.
| Decision area | Reference-to-video workflow for character animation and preview clips | Separate design, rigging, and animation tools with more setup |
|---|---|---|
| Starting input | Use a prompt, source image, or reference material to guide the character direction. | Usually starts from briefs, asset files, and separate design tools. |
| Character consistency | Reference-to-video workflows help keep a character's look aligned across scenes. | Generic workflows often require more manual correction to maintain consistency. |
| Creative output fit | Useful for cinematic clips, anime-style characters, social content, and product ads. | Generic tools may need extra adaptation before the result fits those formats. |
| Account access | Generation requires login, and access and credits are shown in product. | Some tools may allow browsing without login, but generation rules vary. |
| Export and watermark | Free-user exports may include a watermark; paid plans can offer no-watermark exports depending on current settings. | Export options and watermark handling depend on the tool and plan. |
What a 3D Character Creator Workflow Means in Vidu
In Vidu, the workflow starts with a character image or visual concept. The reference guides a generated video interpretation, which is useful when you want motion, camera movement, or a short animated scene rather than a 3D mesh or rig. For a closer look at a reference-based video setup, the same approach can help turn a still concept into a more dynamic result.
How to Animate a 3D-Style Character in Vidu
1. Create or obtain a rights-cleared character image. 2. Upload it as a visual reference. 3. Describe one clear action and camera direction. 4. Generate and review the clip. 5. Refine the reference or movement prompt as needed.
How to Use 3D Character Creator
Add References
Click +reference and upload 1 to 7 reference images, using your own images, the RefHu library, or references you created yourself for a reference-based video setup.
Enter Prompt Settings
Describe what your character or object should do, then set the available generation options such as resolution, aspect ratio, model, duration, generation mode, output count, voice, motion level, and staggered mode as needed.
Create and Download
Click Create, wait for Vidu to generate the video, then preview the result and download it to your device when it looks right. For more polished output, explore avatar video skills to keep your character content consistent across scenes.
Creator Drafts
3D Character Creator helps you shape quick character concepts for creator content, social posts, or campaign planning, and it also fits into a broader faceless video workflow when you want to keep the early creative process moving and later extend those ideas into a reference-based video setup.
Marketing Tests
Shape a single character concept into a polished preview before moving into a full production pipeline.
Team Review
Show the first 3D character concept to your team so they can decide whether the design should be polished further or taken in a different direction.
