Couple things: 1. Your github doesn't have anything in it, it is just a generic MCP server. 2. How does this differ from blender-mcp released by ahujasid several months ago? That one actually does have the complete source and has quite a following. https://github.com/ahujasid/blender-mcp https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43357112

It is indeed a mcp server, but I have added some things that makes of different from being generic, it works smoothly, you can see from code.

And I am working on it, it is new and I am adding other this to it like generating 3js scenes, adding free blender asset apis, etc. Happy if anyone else wants to contribute

The site layout is completely broken. Probably vibecoded slop.

That's fairly rude.

HN has been happily very rude about anything AI related the last year, even in cases here where it's hardly relevant or appropriate. It's depressing and I used to expect a lot better.

It takes more work to build a janky site than just no frills html/css unless you vibecoded it or copy and pasted a crappy template.

I think we should be allowed to push back against sloppy work (which is different from beginner work) instead of ingratiating it with a smile.

We have the rest of you to baby them over adding the worst css transitions I’ve ever seen, something they deliberately swerved into.

They are accused of vibe coding it only through charity because it’s hard to imagine they did it themselves and went “yup that’s exactly what I wanted after spending that extra time adding it.” Whether it’s vibe coded or not isn’t really the point.

Grading on perceived effort is not a rubric destined to last. You cannot detect sloppy work from beginner work without context, and in any case a lot of beginner work these days (and to some degree for the rest of time!) is going to include LLMs or AI.

Is HN only for advertising startups these days? If this post had nothing to do with AI maybe the response would have included some real genuine criticism and feedback, with the assumption baked-in that a beginner was being coached.

To your last point, then downvote it if it's bad. You're right and I agree precisely that it being vibe-coded wasn't the point - but it was brought up regardless. If the result is bad the feedback is still the same. If the "problem" is just that they used tools you don't agree with using, then that's not feedback on the result.

The fade in effect when scrolling down is quite distracting, and makes reading the web page slower, because I have to wait for the text to appear. Yes, I have a fast computer.

Why these web page animations are still a thing in 2025, i will never understand…

Because traditionally, Blender modeling works best on a clean quad-based mesh. Just look at any modeling tutorial for Blender and one of the first things you learn is to always keep a clean, quad-based topology, and avoid triangles and n-gons as much as possible, as it will make further work on the model more painful, if not impossible. That starts with simple stuff like doing a loop cut to things like uv-unwrapping…

Is this true even if you do only or mostly sculpting?

No. But for animation meshes, it's the norm to use only quads. Mainly because of topology/retopology issues.

Why star it on github if it doesn't include the code to run it?

Cause github has become a advertising platform for dev. How did this get to front page without code?

I'm tired of the half-way-there automations, I want an MCP that can replace the person that would need to use this.

sounds like my CEO. "we don't need engineers, we have ai" now who runs the AI? ...

Obviously you set a Batlle royale style competition with all the engineers where the only one who survives get to be in charge of all AI.
