Create character animation, motion graphics and imaginative visual effects with MiniMax H3. Guide scenes with references and native audio, supported by an open-weight creative ecosystem.
MiniMax H3 brings reference-guided video and native audio to character animation, animated posters, music videos and creative transformations. Use character art, scene images and motion references to develop a visual style and direct each shot. Its open-weight ecosystem includes ComfyUI workflows and support in Diffusers, SGLang and vLLM; Arcloop provides an online Canvas workflow without local installation.
H3 is useful for exploring shots, character performances and visual ideas within a defined budget. Use 768p for iteration and consider 2K when extra detail matters. The base weights use the MiniMax H3 Community License; access and commercial use have conditions. Open weights do not mean every stage of the hosted 2K pipeline runs locally.
Original H3 generations alongside existing showcases. Open View prompt to see the recorded generation instructions.
H3-Base weights, ComfyUI workflows and multiple inference frameworks support experimentation and custom workflows. Local deployment follows the Community License and requires suitable hardware; Arcloop runs online.
Choose the resolution and clip length around your project. Start with short 768p scenes to explore variations, then select the shots that merit 2K. Review the Canvas estimate before each generation.
Use images to define appearance, video to guide motion and audio to guide sound. Give each reference a clear role, then describe the action, dialogue, ambience and effects together. Native stereo audio helps bring the complete scene to life.
Explore hand-drawn characters, animated posters, motion graphics and imaginative transformations. Direct how a character moves, how graphic elements appear or how a scene changes, using clear visual references to guide the style.
Prepare your scene here, then choose the generation settings and review the estimate in Canvas.
Enter your idea in the creation box and optionally add an image or video reference. Explain the action, camera and visual style you want.
Click Generate Now and sign in if prompted. Your prompt, selected reference and MiniMax H3 model selection carry into Story Canvas.
Organize supported references, choose the available output settings and review the credit estimate in Canvas. Submit the generation when the scene is ready.
Develop stylized scenes, animated artwork and creative transitions for short films, promotional videos and game openings.
Bring original characters into hand-drawn or stylized scenes. Use matching references to guide the linework, colours and character appearance across shots.
Animate an illustration or poster through character movement, graphic reveals and rhythmic transitions while preserving the intended composition.
Explore costume changes, object morphs and shifts in setting or atmosphere. Describe the transformation as one clear action with a defined beginning and end.
Build character performances, rhythmic visual sequences and world reveals around the mood, movement and sound of your project.
Keep the direction readable and spend detail where it affects the shot.
Specify the subject, action and framing first. For a short sequence, use a small number of timed shots rather than packing several unrelated events into five seconds.
Use references with matching linework, colours and shading. For 2D animation, specify flat colour, clean outlines and the movement you want; check that the result keeps the intended style as the character moves.
Use 768p when exploring ideas and reserve 2K for selected shots. Check faces, fine textures and sound in the result: community feedback is positive about control, but detail and consistency still vary by scene.

Choose a model around the scene, motion and creative control your project needs.
Explore character animation, motion graphics and imaginative transformations with reference-guided video and native audio. MiniMax H3 combines an open-weight ecosystem with flexible creative control, making it a practical option for developing stylized scenes while balancing output quality and budget.
Try Seedance 2.0 for cinematic action, expressive character performances and dynamic camera movement. It offers a different interpretation of the same scene, making it worth comparing with H3 when motion and visual energy matter. Character continuity and reference handling still depend on the shot.
Explore stylized stories with clear actions, reactions and shot changes. Wan 3.0 is an alternative for building narrative momentum through a sequence, while H3 is worth comparing for reference control and lighting. Choose between them using the motion and continuity your scene needs.
Open the MiniMax H3 generator on ArcLoop, add a prompt or reference assets, choose the available settings, and generate your video. Everything runs online, so no local installation is required.
MiniMax H3 can understand text, images, video, and audio within the same creative context. Available upload options depend on the generation mode provided in ArcLoop. Use images for characters, clothing, settings, or visual style. Use video for motion and camera direction. Use audio for music, voice, sound, or timing.
Yes. Upload character art or an image as a visual reference, then describe the movement, expression, camera, and scene you want to create. For better character consistency, use clear reference images and keep the same character details across each generation.
Use the same character references for every related clip. Include clear views of the face, hairstyle, outfit, body shape, and important accessories. Describe which reference defines the character and avoid changing too many visual details between generations.
Yes. MiniMax H3 supports native stereo audio generation, including dialogue, music, sound effects, and environmental sound. You can describe the intended audio in your prompt or add an audio reference when that option is available.
MiniMax H3 supports video generation up to 15 seconds with output up to 2K. The duration, resolution, aspect ratio, and other settings available on ArcLoop may depend on the selected generation mode.
Describe the subject, action, setting, camera, lighting, pacing, and sound in a clear order. If you upload references, explain what each one should control. For complex scenes, focus on one connected sequence instead of adding too many unrelated actions.
Credit usage depends on the selected duration, resolution, generation mode, and current model pricing. ArcLoop shows the required credits before you generate. Creating another version or generating an edited clip uses additional credits.
H3-Base has publicly available weights and an inference ecosystem. More precisely, it is open-weight under the MiniMax H3 Community License, which has usage and regional conditions. Not every part of the hosted 2K workflow is included in the local release. Arcloop uses an online generation workflow.
H3 is worth considering when you want reference control and native audio within a chosen budget. Value depends on the selected settings and how many attempts produce usable shots. Compare the Canvas estimates for your actual scene; an open-weight release does not make hosted generation free.
Create music videos, anime PVs, game openings, and OC animations with MiniMax H3.
