Four 3D animated ads made on Shhots AI
Each ad below started as a product photo and an AI-written script. Unmute for the audio.
Across all four, the characters have large expressive eyes and soft lighting, and the product is an object in the scene that someone holds, opens or uses.
How do you make a 3D animated ad?
The workflow matches a standard UGC ad until the Video style step.
Step 1: pick 3D Animated. Human gives you a live-action AI creator. 2D Animated gives you an illustrated 2D world. 3D Animated gives you a 3D world and a 3D character. Everything after this choice works the same way.
Step 2: set the controls. Step 2 of 3 is Creator Controls.
Step 3: edit the script and generate. Shhots writes the script and shows it before anything renders. Each scene has a direction line, what the character does, and a dialogue line, what the character says.
Edit anything, or click Rewrite for a new draft at 1 credit. When the script reads right, click Generate video.
What can you control?
Everything on the Creator Controls step stays yours to set:
- Format: Landscape 16:9 for YouTube and web, Portrait 9:16 for TikTok and Reels, or Square 1:1 for Instagram feed.
- Length: 10, 15 or 30 seconds.
- Creator details: age range, ethnicity, gender and language.
- Voice style: voiceover or on-camera.
- Hook text and closing message: the first line and the last line of the ad.
- Brand and product information: the product name, plus a description of up to 1,000 characters.
The script on the next step holds up to 2,000 characters.
3D animated, 2D animated or Human: which style should you pick?
| Human | 2D Animated | 3D Animated | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you get | A live-action AI creator | An illustrated 2D world | A 3D world and a 3D character |
| Starting point | One product photo | One product photo | One product photo |
| Reads as | A real person on a phone | A drawn explainer | A character-led animated film |
| Pick it for | Social proof, texture, testimonials | Problems and how a product works | A scene with a character reacting to the product |
3D Animated costs the same credits as Human. If the job is social proof, use Human. For the 2D version, read the 2D animated ads launch note. Most brands testing at volume run more than one style on the same product.

What to check before you run one
Small on-screen text is worth checking. In the supplement sample the product jar reads correctly, but the website on the laptop in the final shot shows garbled headline text. Check every logo, label and line of small print in the finished video before it goes into an ad account.
