Block Yard Studio
3D previs in your browser

Block out the scene in your head.

Build the set, place your cast, and find the shot through real lenses, before a single frame is generated or filmed. Made for filmmakers and AI video creators.

Draw rooms and walls, cut in doors and windows, stack levels and stairwells, and dress it from a library of furniture, vehicles and set pieces.

  • Rooms, walls, doors, windows, stairs, platforms and multiple floors
  • 90 props, including lamps and practicals that actually light
  • Studio light to golden hour, with a real sun and shadows
  • Bring your own set from Blender as a .glb
  • An inventory of everything, to select, hide, lock and rename

Cast

Block your cast

Stand-ins come in eight body types, from toddler to large adult, on one shared skeleton, so every pose and animation works on all of them.

  • Over 100 poses and looping actions, from standing and sitting to fight beats
  • Pose by hand or drag limbs, and key animation on a timeline
  • Bring in Mixamo, glTF and BVH motion
  • Walk paths, follow cams and timed blocking in the set

A screenplay editor that formats as you type, right next to the set, plus voice casting with your own ElevenLabs account.

  • Scene headings, action, dialogue and transitions in industry format
  • Export to PDF, Fountain or Final Draft
  • Cast a voice for each character and generate lines in place
  • Your shot list, notes and frames export for your generation tools
