How to Create a Set

Goal: Build a virtual environment that your scenes take place in, so the AI renders every shot with a consistent, intentional background.

A set is created once and can be linked to any number of scenes. Change the set and all scenes using it update.

Steps​

  1. Open the Sets directory. In the left navigation, click Sets. The set library shows all sets available to your organization.

  2. Click + Add Set. The set creation panel opens.

  3. Name the set. Use a descriptive name — "Rooftop, Manhattan night," "1940s police interrogation room," "Alien spacecraft interior." This is also how you'll find it in search.

  4. Choose the set type:

    • 2D Background — A single image (photo, painting, or AI-generated). Good for scene-setting shots. Can be aligned for 3D character placement.
    • 3D Blender Model — A full 3D environment synced from Blender. Best for complex blocking and movement through space.
    • City on Rails — Procedural AI-generated city block. Define building types (restaurant, store, park) and the AI generates the streetscape.
    • Building on Rails — Procedural AI-generated interior. Define the room type and style.

  5. Write the set description. Describe the environment in detail — the period, the materials, the condition, the time of day it exists in, the mood. For a 2D or AI-generated set: "A cramped 1910s police station interrogation room. Bare concrete walls. One window with bars. A wooden table and two chairs. A single hanging bulb."

  6. Upload reference images (optional). Any photos, film stills, or concept art that capture the look you want. Upload as many as help — the AI uses them to match the aesthetic.

  7. Save and preview. Click Generate Set to create the visual. Review the preview. If it's not right, adjust the description and regenerate.

  8. Link to scenes. Open scenes that take place in this location and assign this set in the Scene panel → Set field.
