FAQ
What is CozyClay?
Open source previs software in a browser: block a scene, pose characters, author camera moves and cuts, preview motion.
Previs or previz?
Same thing. Previsualization: the rough 3D pass where a shot gets blocked before anyone pays for final assets or renders.
Can I use it for camera control in AI video?
That is why it exists. Block the shot in 3D, then hand the camera move to the video model instead of describing it in a prompt. See camera control for AI video.
Do I need Blender or Unity?
No. It runs in a Chromium browser. Controls follow Unity conventions, nothing to install.
Is it free? Does it phone home?
Free, AGPL-3.0, runs on your machine and works offline. Project content is never uploaded. The npm package sends anonymous usage metrics; cclay telemetry off disables them.
