Let Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor set up gray shapes and animate cameras using the Blender Lab MCP server. Our Seedance 2.5 Blender agent skill applies five camera presets, quotes your credit price, and renders your finished shot automatically.
Twelve paid runs are on record with run ids, model tier and credit cost. The three below are shown, each with what went in and what came back. The nine earlier ones covered a car chase, an architectural walkthrough and a two-fighter ring beat; that car pass held both vehicles and their spacing, and the street still read as clean CG rather than live action. The Seadanse add-on is the same client as the website, so every take here was billed and logged exactly like yours will be.

Build your scene with simple gray shapes, keyframe the camera, and render a clay pass from your sidebar. Send that clay pass to Seedance 2.5 along with your reference images and prompt. Seedance 2.5 keeps your camera move, framing, pacing, and blocking, and paints the surfaces, light, and people. ByteDance calls this clay render referencing, introduced in ByteDance's Seedance 2.5 launch post on July 31, 2026. Read the Seedance 2.5 Blender workflow explained to see how it works.
No. Our plugin renders the clay pass and runs Seedance 2.5 straight from the Blender sidebar on its own. You do not need any coding tool or second app. If you prefer to automate your workflow with an AI assistant, our free agent skill works with Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor over Blender MCP. Compare all ways to run Seedance 2.5 from Blender to pick the best fit.
Our plugin runs on Blender 4.2 and up on macOS and Windows. Drag the zip file onto an open Blender window to install it right away. Your video renders in the cloud, so you do not need a strong graphics card. Read why Seedance 2.5 runs in the cloud to learn how any computer can make high-end shots.
Add a reference image for each person, product, and place, using up to 30 images. Color each shape in Blender and map each image to its color in your prompt, such as: "Map the man in gray clothing from [Image 1] to the red model in [Video 1]". State in your prompt: "The 3D clay-model video should only be used as a reference for camera movement, camera motion, shot rhythm, camera blocking, and character animation. Do not reference its visual content." Keep your shapes simple, and explore Seedance 2.5 Blender prompts and ByteDance's Seedance 2.5 prompt guide for proven prompt structures.
Yes. You set your camera move, framing, and pacing before you spend any credits, so your balance goes toward final visuals instead of rerolls. You can render a 480p draft to check the motion, then render your 1080p final from that draft. You can also test a camera move on Seedance 2.0 Mini, our lower-cost model for quick tests.
The credit price shows directly on the Generate button before you press it. A render never costs more than the confirmed price, and a failed render returns its credits automatically. You get 40 starter credits when you sign up free. Calculate your render price with our Seedance 2.5 cost calculator or view Seadanse plans and credits to choose a package.
You can generate videos in 480p, 720p, or 1080p resolution, with lengths from 4 to 30 seconds in a single take. Choose from six aspect ratios: 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, or 9:16. The model creates audio together with your video in the same render, and you download the result as an MP4. See ByteDance's Seedance 2.5 tutorial for sample videos and settings.
Export your clip as an MP4 or MOV file using H.264 or H.265 at 24 to 60 fps. Set the size to at least 854x480, keep the duration between 2 and 30 seconds, and stay under 200 MB. Turn off overlays, gizmos, and motion paths and hide your camera before rendering. The clay pass button in our plugin renders an MP4 that meets these rules automatically. Follow our step-by-step Blender blockout to Seedance 2.5 tutorial and review ByteDance's Seedance 2.5 tutorial to set up your shot.
Yes. Seedance 2.0 also takes a Blender clip as a reference video. Seedance 2.5 expands your options with 30-second takes instead of 15 seconds, up to 50 references instead of 15, and exact time ranges in whole seconds. Our plugin lets you choose between Seedance 2.5 and Seedance 2.0 Mini for quick, budget-friendly tests.
Yes. The ByteDance Seed team launched Seedance 2.5 on July 31, 2026, as announced in ByteDance's Seedance 2.5 launch post. You can use it today in our Seadanse Blender plugin and on our Seedance 2.5 AI video maker web platform. Read what Seedance 2.5 is to explore all its core features.
No. Blender and Seedance 2.5 split the workload. Blender controls the camera move, blocking, and scale of your shot, while Seedance 2.5 paints the surfaces, realistic lighting, and characters on top. You keep full control over your directing decisions while saving hours of manual asset building.
