@aisavvy: Comment BLENDER How much does it actually cost to make an AI video with this workflow? I connected Claude to Blender to build a 15-second reference of a samurai walking through torii gates, with the camera movements planned in 3D. Then I created the character and environment references in ChatGPT and used Seedance 2.5 to turn it all into the final video. Blender is free, and you can generate the reference images within ChatGPT’s free limits. Building my scene used around 2% of my weekly quota on Claude’s $20/month plan, before edits. The final generation cost 2,280 credits on OpenArt, roughly $5.32 on my plan. Without the video reference, it would have been about $4.56. So I paid around 76 cents extra to guide the camera and movement with my Blender clip. Would you use this workflow for more control, or stick to text prompts and hope for the best? #blender #aivideo #claudeai #seedance25
