Why ClayStage
Simple for anyone. Powerful for pros.
Built by 3D artists, but made for everyone — brands, creators, marketers, product and e-commerce teams. Whether it's your first scene or your thousandth, nothing stands between you and the shot.
Animate without keyframes
AutoDrive turns animation into Min → Max, a range, and a feel from 31 easing curves — anyone can spin a product or move a character on the first try. Need to go deeper? Compose compound motion and convert to keyframes any time to take over by hand. Simple by default, pro when you need it.
AutoDrive
Photoreal in one click
Clay scene in, finished frame out. Materials, light and depth carry through — so your render matches the scene you staged. Studio product shots and branded visuals, no photographer or render skills required.
Render
Iterate at the speed of an idea
Tweak the stage, regenerate, compare. No render farm, no overnight wait — the next version is minutes away, every time, so you can try ten looks before lunch.
Speed
Stage to video, in one place
Pass your hero render in as a first frame and get an AI video back — a product spin, a character turntable, a branded moment. No exporting to another tool to finish the clip.
Video
Characters, posed and styled
Upload a character sheet, drop it onto a 3D mannequin, pose it, then add clothing and styling. Bring your own custom assets too — models, characters, clothing and poses. Render it in product shots, modeling scenes, branded visuals or spinning turntables — no rigging, no 3D skills.
Characters
One canvas, the whole loop
Stage, render, animate, characters, video — all without leaving ClayStage or round-tripping through five apps. The work stays in one continuous flow, so the shot you imagined is the shot you ship. Replace a whole pipeline with a single, simple stage.
