I know this tech is terrifying to actual 3D artist who don’t want be a “prompt engineer”, but as someone who has never used Blender, I think its cool that I can create something using tools like this and use them in my projects, ex background animation on a website hero section.

Did you run into issues that made you tweak the prompt? You often tell the tool not to do extra work despite having it in the prompt, did you find that it often tries to do a lot of "boilerplate" work like setting up lights and cameras?

  system_prompt = """You are an assistant made for the purposes of helping the user with Blender, the 3D software. 
  - Respond with your answers in markdown (```). 
  - Preferably import entire modules instead of bits. 
  - Do not perform destructive operations on the meshes. 
  - Do not use cap_ends. Do not do more than what is asked (setting up render settings, adding cameras, etc)
  - Do not respond with anything that is not Python code.

Have you used it yet? Was it actually that easy? I can't wait to try.

As someone who had tried my hand at Blender and failed miserably/given up years ago, I am so excited to use this to make up for my Blender skill deficiency

Isn’t being a good boss kind of like being a good prompt engineer?

Until We started to see LLMs, and the tools that can be created with them, I doubted the possibility of Star Trek's Voice command system. Asking for the computer to clarify some concept, or filter and reduce data sets based on arbitrary data was pure science fiction.

Seeing something like this makes me think that the arbitrary holodeck commands "Paris, 1950's, rainy afternoon" is suddenly not a challenging part of the equation. It's really exciting.

I don't think this is "terrifying" to 3D artists any more than github copilot is terrying to us haha, I'm not sure why we engineers have this tendency of imagining every other industry as being populated by superstitious peasants from the dark ages who fear new tools.

In my experience the vast majority of people are excited about GPT including artists.

Once the Solidworks/Altium plugins are working, we're going to see some some crazy things.

Also FreeCAD/KiCad, I guess, if the resources are there, but Dassault and similar have the ability to bring to bear a lot of FTEs very quickly if they wish.
