# Mixed production

> Use AI where it helps and keep CGI where control matters: previs from Blender, identity from your assets, one production for both.

**3D animation in Blender**

## Use AI where it helps. Keep CGI where control matters.

A product film with a CGI hero product and AI environments, reviewed in one place.

### Who it is for: 3D animation in Blender

For studios that animate in Blender. Every shot goes from layout to compositing, and Desktop Helper brings each artist the right files.

**Mixed production**

## Blender sets the shot. AI fills it in.

Set the camera and action in Blender, then generate from your previs and references. The inputs, the chosen take and the composite stay on the shot.

Layout / previs → AI video generation → Compositing

## Camera from the previs. Identity from your assets.

### Publish the previs

Block the camera in Blender and publish the playblast to Layout.

### Connect motion and look

On the canvas, the playblast drives the motion and your assets set the look.

### Review the chosen take

Composite in your tools and publish for frame review.

**Simple previs**

## A moving block can be enough.

A red block sets the path and timing. You do not need a detailed car model.

**Live action + AI**

## Same actors. A different era.

Start from the filmed plate. Try a period station or a modern one with the same actors and pose, and send the chosen version for review.
