AI 3D shorts generator

ViewGum's 3D Build is an AI 3D shorts generator for TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels. Type a topic, such as how a suspension bridge is built, and it writes the script, builds a 3D scene for it and animates it with a narrator, captions, music and sound effects. A 3D Build short runs 45 to 60 seconds; 45 seconds costs 450 to 550 credits, export included. You export one MP4 with post copy for each app and post it yourself.

What does the AI 3D shorts generator make?

Length
45 to 60 seconds, in 15-second steps; about 45 seconds unless you pick another. A short lands within a fifth of the length you pick.
In each short
A narrator voice, a 3D cutaway and a builder who fixes each failure with the real part, or the real method step by step. Captions, music and sound effects.
Export
One vertical 1080 x 1920 MP4 at 30 frames a second, with post copy for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels and Facebook Reels. No watermark.
Credits
45 seconds: 450 to 550 credits to make, export included. 60 seconds: 550 to 650 credits to make, export included.Quoted on ViewGum's default writer on November 13, 2026.
Changes after it's made
Once it's made, ask the chat for a change to the 3D scene, such as a wider camera, a closer framing or slower moves, or redo the animation, or have a line said another way, fact checked and voiced again with the scene re-timed to it. Each change shows its price in credits before you apply it, and if one fails, the credits for work it did not do come back.
From an AI assistant
Yes, through ViewGum's connector, which quotes the price first.

How to make a 3D short for TikTok or YouTube Shorts

  1. Type a topic, or pick one of the ideas ViewGum suggests, such as how a roller coaster is built.
  2. Pick 3D Build. ViewGum writes the script, builds a 3D scene for your topic, narrates it and adds captions, music and sound effects.
  3. Watch it, ask the chat for a wider camera or another change to the scene if you want one, then export the MP4 and post it to TikTok, YouTube Shorts or Reels.

What does an AI 3D short look like?

  • How the Burj Khalifa was built

    A 3D city, then the tower: piles and a foundation slab go in, the core climbs and the spire goes on at 828 metres, each step named by the narrator. A muted excerpt.

Which topics work as 3D shorts?

  • Landmarks and how they were built: towers, bridges, dams, canals and stadiums.
  • Things made of parts: a house, a tunnel, a roller coaster, a cruise ship or a launch pad.
  • Engineering, history and how-it's-made channels that want 3D shorts on TikTok and YouTube Shorts without learning 3D software.

What can't the 3D shorts generator do?

  • A 3D short runs 45 to 60 seconds; shorter lengths aren't offered in 3D.
  • It builds things made of parts. A story about people, or a topic with nothing to build, fits a narrated faceless short better.
  • The 3D is stylized, not photoreal footage, and it can't import your own 3D model or export 3D files.
  • It does not post for you. You get the MP4 and post copy for each app, then post it yourself.
  • It does not cut clips from long recordings.
  • It does not export horizontal or square video.
  • It does not have a public REST API. AI assistants connect through its MCP server.

What do the platforms say about labeling AI 3D shorts?

  • Not realisticAI content, such as an animation inside a fully animated video, needs no label on YouTube; realistic AI-made or altered content doesAs of October 18, 2026, source 1
  • Realistic AI contentneeds a label on TikTok, which also asks for one on anything completely generated or significantly edited by AIAs of October 18, 2026, source 2
  • Realistic-sounding audioor photorealistic video that was digitally created or altered is what Meta asks you to label on Instagram and FacebookAs of October 18, 2026, source 3

A 3D Build short is stylized 3D animation with an AI narrator voice, and it carries no ViewGum watermark. Whether it needs a label is your call under each platform's rules.

Questions

What is a 3D shorts generator?

A 3D shorts generator turns a typed topic into a short vertical video made of 3D animation, for TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Reels. ViewGum's 3D Build is one: it writes the script, builds a 3D scene for the topic, animates and narrates it, and adds captions, music and sound effects, with no 3D software to learn.

Is a 3D short from ViewGum real 3D or a video model's footage?

Real 3D. 3D Build writes a 3D scene for your topic, with its own parts, lights and camera, and renders it. A video model draws frames that look 3D instead. Because the scene exists, each part goes in when the narrator names it, and you can ask the chat for a wider camera or slower moves afterwards, each change priced before it runs.

Can AI make 3D animated videos for TikTok and YouTube Shorts?

Yes. ViewGum's 3D Build turns a topic into a narrated 3D animated short of 45 to 60 seconds, a vertical 1080 x 1920 MP4 that fits TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and Facebook Reels. It writes the script, builds the 3D scene and adds captions, music and sound effects.

How do I make 3D animated YouTube Shorts with AI?

Type a topic, such as how a dam is built, and pick 3D Build. ViewGum writes the script, builds the scene in 3D, narrates it and renders the short. Watch it, change the camera in chat if you want, then export one MP4 with post copy for each app.

Can I change the camera after the 3D short is made?

Yes. Ask the chat for a change to the 3D scene, such as a wider camera that shows the whole build or slower moves, or redo the animation. You can also have a line said another way: it is fact checked, voiced again, and the scene is re-timed to it. Each change shows its price in credits before you apply it, and if one fails, the credits for work it did not do come back.

How much does a 3D Build short cost?

On ViewGum's default writer: 45 seconds: 450 to 550 credits to make, export included; 60 seconds: 550 to 650 credits to make, export included. Creator is $49 a month for 4,500 credits, Pro is $99 a month for 9,500 credits and Studio is $199 a month for 20,000 credits. Every 3D Build short shows its price in credits before it starts and is charged what it used, never more than the top of its range.

Can I make a 3D Build short from my AI assistant?

Yes. Connect ViewGum to your AI assistant once, then ask it for a 3D Build short on your topic. It shows you the price and waits for your yes before anything is charged.
