Not an expert here. I am not sure how 3D the videos in the article are. IMO they are 3D in a pixar/animated sort of way.

But I have very recent first hand experience of creating a video for our startup's Facebook post with Minimax image-to-video inference, from an image of our animated avatar character.

...And yes, first the videos were bad quality with lots of inconsistencies, but after adding "animated" to the prompt, in front of the "man" word, the result was pretty great already on the first try! Which I then ended up even using. (you can even check it here if interested https://fb.watch/xRC-fptexM/)

Perhaps it should be self-evident, but still, it was not to me. :)

Edit. I guess my point was also that the animated character in the video ended up being somewhat 3D as well.

Yeah, I see what you mean! When we say 3D here, we mean working with actual 3D scenes—models, depth, and lighting—rather than the '3D movie' style like Pixar. The goal is to use 3D to control AI generations more precisely, so things stay consistent across frames instead of AI hallucinating every frame from scratch."

Your experience with Minimax sounds cool! Adding 'animated' to the prompt helping consistency makes sense—AI models often struggle with structure, so any guidance helps.
