Start with your own story

Turn your story into 3D scenes with depth and light

Start from a rough idea, a written story or a full script. Each part becomes a 3D scene.

Rough Idea

Just a quick story idea

Describe the story in a sentence. The AI writes a short script with scenes and a satisfying ending, ready to be shown in 3D, which you can review and edit before animating.

A small brave fox cub crosses a glowing snowy forest to return a lost lantern to the old owl.

Your own written short story

Paste a story you have written. Each paragraph becomes scenes in your order, in rich 3D, with a voice for every character, so the cartoon feels like the film you imagined.

Pip the fox cub shivered at the edge of the forest. "I can do this," he whispered, and stepped into the glowing snow.

Full Script

A full script with dialogue

Paste your script with scene headings, character names and lines. Atlabs follows every scene and every line closely, so the 3D cartoon stays true to the pages you wrote.

SCENE 1: SNOWY FOREST, DUSK. PIP (whispering): "Almost there." The lantern glows ahead.

How It Works

From story to finished 3D cartoon in 4 steps

Paste your idea, story, or script

Paste your idea, story or script, with the characters and places, or just a few lines to get started, and say who is in it.

STEP 1

Choose a style & aspect ratio

Choose the 3D cartoon style, then pick 16:9 for YouTube and screens or 9:16 for phones, Shorts and Reels. Both work from one story.

STEP 2

Lock characters, worlds, & props

Create each character once, with their shape, colours and voice, then set up the places where your scenes happen.

STEP 3

Generate, refine, and publish

Generate the cartoon, watch it through, change any scene or line, then download the finished video to share anywhere.

Same 3D cast every scene

The same 3D characters in every scene and episode

3D characters only feel real when they look identical from every angle. Atlabs keeps every face, outfit and voice steady across every scene, and from one episode to the next, so your cast always feels familiar.

Character consistency

Every character keeps the same face, outfit and voice from one scene to the next, so viewers recognise them straight away, whatever the story is doing or wherever it takes them.

What creators say about making 3D cartoons with Atlabs

I wrote a short fox story and had it as a 3D cartoon in an afternoon. The characters look identical in every scene, which is what I could never get from my earlier experiments.

My channel needed a more polished look. The 3D style gives every episode depth and light, and my cast looks the same every time. It is a real time saver for me. I would recommend it to anyone.
