How this works
Transform static three-view orthographic projections—front, side, and top—into engaging dynamic videos that showcase your designs in motion, saving hours of manual animation work for architects, engineers, and product designers. This workflow leverages AI-powered image generation via OpenAI's GPT-4o to create detailed visuals from your sketches, then converts them into fluid videos using the Kling API for realistic movement and depth. The key step involves sequentially processing each view through HTTP requests to build and refine the assets before final video assembly, delivering a polished output ready for presentations or client reviews.
Use this workflow when you need quick prototypes of 3D concepts from 2D technical drawings, especially for iterative design feedback in fields like manufacturing or architecture. Avoid it for highly custom animations requiring precise control, as it relies on AI interpretations that may need tweaks for accuracy. Common variations include adapting it for single-view inputs or integrating with tools like Google Drive to automate asset uploads from shared folders.
