How It Works
From first idea to finished 3D scene — in three steps.
Visualize Your Idea
Set up your project with synopsis, genre, and visual style. Define characters and locations, then let AI generate reference images for every shot — or upload your own. No drawing skills needed.
Build Your Storyboard
Arrange shots, add dialog, director notes, and camera angles. Use Pose-X to extract exact body poses from reference videos, and Stage-X to digitize real locations into 3D-ready geometry — directly in your browser.
Sync With Your 3D Pipeline
Connect CiGYL bidirectionally with Blender or Unreal Engine. Push your storyboard data into the 3D scene, refine it with your artists, and sync changes back. Your storyboard stays live throughout the entire production.
You stay in control. AI is a tool, not a requirement. Write your own descriptions, upload your own images, and edit every prompt manually. CiGYL adapts to your workflow — not the other way around.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CiGYL really free?
Yes, completely free during the Public Beta. No credit card, no subscription required.
Do I need to install anything?
No. CiGYL runs entirely in your browser — on any device, any OS.
Do I need an AI API key?
No. AI features are optional. Write your own descriptions and upload your own images — no key needed to get started.
Which 3D software does CiGYL connect to?
Currently Blender and Unreal Engine via the bidirectional Bridge. More integrations are planned.
What is Pose-X?
A standalone AI tool that extracts exact 3D body poses from reference videos — directly in your browser. Use it on the go or combined with your CiGYL shots for precise pose references.
What is Stage-X?
A standalone tool that digitizes real locations into 3D-ready proxy geometry including camera angles. Use it independently or to transfer CiGYL shots directly into Blender or Unreal Engine.
Can I export my storyboard?
Yes. Export professional PDFs — storyboard sheets, character sheets, and location sheets — with one click.
Where is my data stored?
Locally in your browser. Your projects are never uploaded to our servers. For a full backup use the JSON export.
What's Coming Next
CiGYL is growing fast. Here's a glimpse of what's in the pipeline.
CiGYL Nexus
A visual narrative graph & timeline editor. Map character relationships, story arcs, location states across acts — all on a single canvas. Built for stories of any complexity.
Screenplay Import
Upload your screenplay and let CiGYL do the heavy lifting. Characters, locations, synopsis and shots get extracted and created automatically — ready to storyboard in seconds.
Pro-Gear Auto-Sync & Budget Control
Replace set placeholders with precise 3D models from ARRI, Aputure & more. A live cost calculator tracks rental and purchase prices as you build — and sends everything directly to your cart.
Cloud Sync
Access your projects from any device, share with your team and collaborate in real time. Your storyboard — always with you, always up to date.
