Awesome-Blender-Seedance-Workflow-Usecases

🍌 Introduction

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.

📊 Overview

• 39 selected Blender + Seedance cases from public creator posts and audited recurring weekly additions.
• 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 started from the 35-candidate audit and now includes 14 audited weekly additions from the recurring update loop.
• Use this repo to inspect practical workflows, then send users to the EvoLink Blender-to-video cookbook for setup and execution.

⚡ Quick Start

Set up the local Blender control path first, then install the EvoLink skills your agent will call.

1. Install Blender MCP

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

Before the first runnable request, get your EvoLink key at Get an API key.

2. Install EvoLink skills

Install the Seedance generation skill and the Topaz upscaling skill in the agent workspace.

npm i evolink-seedance
npm i evolink-topaz-video-upscale

3. Get an API key

Create an EvoLink API key from your account, then expose it to the agent runtime.

export EVOLINK_API_KEY="paste_api_key_here"

4. Run it inside your agent

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.

Before sending a direct request, confirm your key is ready at Get an API key. If you need a direct API fallback, submit the Blender reference workflow to POST https://api.evolink.ai/v1/videos/generations:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.evolink.ai/v1/videos/generations \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer ${EVOLINK_API_KEY}" \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "model": "seedance-2.0-reference-to-video",
    "prompt": "Use the Blender blockout video as the motion guide, keep the camera path, and preserve the staged timing.",
    "video_urls": ["https://pub-62cf7640cd0f4066b60933bd2e9b85ef.r2.dev/github-repo-media/Awesome-Blender-Seedance-Workflow-Usecases/media/case29.mp4"],
    "image_urls": ["https://pub-62cf7640cd0f4066b60933bd2e9b85ef.r2.dev/github-repo-media/Awesome-Blender-Seedance-Workflow-Usecases/media/posters/case29.jpg"],
    "duration": 5,
    "quality": "720p",
    "aspect_ratio": "16:9",
    "generate_audio": true
  }'

If you are about to hand the workflow to an agent, confirm the same key at Get an API key first.

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.
