Hey HN! I'm aarya (twitter.com/gd3kr) and I built BlenderGPT Really overwhelmed with the traffic, will be defaulting to a less compute intensive model for a bit. Will try to keep up with this thread and respond to questions/comments but mostly focused on not letting BlenderGPT crash. BlenderGPT is entirely bootstrapped and i'm really the only one on the team.

Nice work. It would be good to have examples (images, models and their prompt) on the front page. That might also lessen the load a bit.

"I am quite suspicious of this project. In particular I want to draw attention to the nonsensical naming scheme (this is clearly not related to anything to do with GPT) suggestive of lack of understanding of the relevant technology, an absence of a usable demo, and the fact that they show the same small handful of models over and over again. The input images do not appear natural at all - almost as though he’s just t…

I just tried it, there's a demo and works as advertised. I had 3 credits upon signing up, tried uploading a photo of a cup and it created the model of the cup. Then I created a figurine of Trump and a model of Galata Tower. Check it out: https://a.dropoverapp.com/cloud/download/395da02b-874d-441c-... I'm very surprised by all the negativity in the comments, some kid created a tool that's working as advertised and eve…

Oh, if they had YC backing I’m sure half the people here would be sending in job applications.

IMHO this unjustified negativity, it's asking you to sign with your Google account which gives them very basic info about you which is very reasonable considering that they are going to give you a computationally intensive demo. It's a common practice against abuse, it's not asking you to install a tracking software or anything.

Other than the fear of randomly losing it with no recourse, I'm using this account for more than 20 years now and I'm fine had no issues. Definitely not malware.

This is much better than I expected.

I first asked it to generate "The last MC left" and it crested a 3rd model of a microphone.

Not winning any awards, but it's a decent model I could imagine a professional using as a template ( also works for props in the background).

The I asked it to generate "Heavy D and the Boy's"( RIP to Heavy D) and it tried to generate models of a rap group, the face textures aren't great.

Maybe add a disclaimer saying what you generate well and what you don't. Looks like a cool prototyping tool. Thank you for sharing

This is fun!!

I made a thing, here's the prompt:

coffee mug with "I AM THE BOSS" written very large and horizontally on the side. Cup must hold 75 cl of liquid.

Funny thing: the tiny icon has the correct words, but the final object has something unreadable on the side.

Very nice work anyhow!

Fantastic! 3D Modeling is such labor intensive high skill work, and tools like this will raise the floor by a ton.

It's exciting to think about everything that's going to become possible in the coming years.

I don't disagree with you. It should not be billed as "free" without qualification. It should read "free with google account".

Contrary to the downvotes on the above comment I see absolutely zero issue with wanting to be informed of this in advance. I would've made this exact same comment if I had run into it myself.

You would be informed of it when you click on the button and see that it requires a Google account...
