02 / Camera Movement

Camera moves made for content.

32 curated Base moves for hero shots, reveals, orbits, architecture, products, and commercial showcases. Tune root rotation, speed, reverse, focal length, aim, and supported seed variations.
Seeded familiesMeaningful variations. Root and aimCorrect the shot safely. Camera FXDOF, rack focus, handheld. Creator pacingSpeed and smooth stop.
Pro adds36 total camera moves, including Ribbon Dive, Focus Release Arc, Precision Sling, and Hero Rise Cut, plus reversible Cinematic, Warm, Cool, and Bleach Bypass camera filters.

03 / Object Animation

Animate selected objects fast.

04 / Clay Render

Clay breakdowns that sell the process.

Clay Only and experimental clay-to-final reveal, plus color, triangle wire, quad wire, glass, bevel, ambient occlusion, emissive preservation, and exact restoration tools.
Pro Per-Object Clay Studio

Select an object to load and edit its own saved clay properties. Each styled object can keep an independent look without changing the others. Start from curated dropdown presets or generate repeatable combinations from a seed.

Independent clay and wire colors Per-object glass and textures Wire thickness per object
Built-in Clay + Wire preset dropdown Seeded clay, wire, thickness, and AO combinations Built-in and seeded Glass looks

Glass seeds combine tint, transparency, roughness, AO, and optional wire treatment. Save favorite results as custom presets inside the .blend and reuse the same seed whenever you want the exact combination again.

Pro / Surface Studio

Push the surface beyond materials.

Reel Director Pro adds selected-object surface tools that remain compatible with Clay Render, MatCaps, object animation, and camera animation.

 PRO FEATURE

Native Wool Style

Blender 5.2+ wool-style surfaces using native hair tools with optional XPBD dynamics, wool count, viewport percentage, length, thickness, irregularity, frizz, seed, and color controls.
PRO FEATURE

Lattice Surface

Generate geometric surface treatments on selected mesh objects. Use triangle or quad topology, adjustable density and strut thickness, nested interior layers, interior spacing, color, frame limits, optional original shell preservation, and strict scene-safe limits.
