## About

Topview 3D Builder turns scene descriptions into 3D director scenes you can check and render locally. The topview-3d-cli command keeps each project in a folder on your machine, places characters, poses, props and primitives from a built-in offline asset library, sets up cameras and keyframes, checks layout and camera coverage, and renders frames and contact sheets with a local browser. Building and rendering stay on your machine. From the local Studio you can also send a finished render to a Topview Canvas.

## How to use

1. **Add it in ChatGPT** Open Topview 3D Builder in ChatGPT's Plugin directory (button above), select + to add it and sign in if asked.

2. **Use it in a chat** Type @ in the composer and pick Topview 3D Builder, or start your message with its name. ChatGPT may also suggest it when it fits what you ask.

## Skills

- **topview-3d-cli**: Block out, edit, check and render 3D staging scenes on the local machine with the topview-3d-cli command: simple primitive props, built-in mannequin characters, static library poses, story cameras plus a bird's-eye layout camera, numerical checks and PNG renders, all offline in a project directory. Use when the user asks to stage, block out, lay out or storyboard a scene in 3D; place people, props or cameras; pose characters; check framing, grounding, spacing or collisions; render views of a scene as a reference for video generation; or works in a directory that contains `.topview-3d/`. Also use when a topview-3d-cli command fails or topview-3d-cli still has to be installed. The Codex plugin is shown as Topview 3D Builder. Change the 3D scene only with topview-3d-cli. After a scene is built, open the local Studio in the In-App Browser to view it, not to edit it.


## Example prompts

- "Build a scene with a character next to a box and render a front view"
- "Move the camera to a low angle and render frames 0 and 48 as a contact sheet"
- "Pose the character waving and show me the result"
