What did you use for the 2D loading images? This one is really nice: https://blendergptv2-jobs.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/generat...

lol at the gearing on the front wheel and the whole frame being backwards. Also no pedals or crank arms, the artwork is quite nice though

The backwards drivetrain/steering is kind of fascinating to consider. I'd love to see someone like Colin Furze or Stuff Made Here actually make one to try it out. What would it be like to ride a bike that steered by pivoting the back wheel?

It did quite well on my "a pelican riding a bicycle" test: https://static.simonwillison.net/static/2024/a-pelican-ridin... The 2D loading indicator it showed me was even better! https://blendergptv2-jobs.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/generat... - anyone know what BlenderGPT uses for that? Might be FLUX or similar.

It's likely FLUX.

They aren’t software, Blender foundation likely has exclusive use in that domain. I’m guessing if it was litigated it would come up, but that they’d prevail.

And this is not even just about software in a general sense, it's literally software that creates the same product: 3d models. Absolutely asking for trouble.

And trained on models that for a large part were made in Blender.

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.

This is awesome! Thank you for building this.

Anyone interested in this type of thing should check out the free and open source TRELLIS: https://huggingface.co/spaces/JeffreyXiang/TRELLIS Upload an image and it outputs a 3D model. Use a separate image generator to make a model of anything you can imagine.

Trellis is very impressive (topology notwithstanding). I put some examples together of what Trellis can do, it's definitely better with angular type models (vehicles, etc.), but unsurprisingly can struggle a bit with more organic forms. https://imgur.com/a/trellis-2d-3d-samples-eSWJhMj

I fed TRELLIS an image of the left side of my Vespa, and it correctly (mostly) added exhaust on the other side.

Super, super cool to see -- really hyped for what this means for 3D representations!

Hi aarya!

A really amazing project. I would really love using this tool, and other GenAI tools to generate art. There is one recurring problem that I don't know the answer to: how could I know that no one is going to sue me for using this kind of tool for copyright infringement? How can I know that the model I generate is not too similar or copying some artist's style somewhere?

Echoing other sentiment to say: I agree with others who believe it's a majorly crappy move, with the name. Immediately suspicious of any project capable of such childish attention-grabbing!

"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-...

It's the disingenuous marks on the whole thing.

Using the trademark of a very popular 3d software, coupling it with a very popular product name from the biggest AI corp in the world.

And not mentioning it's a wrapper over a model so new that it's easy to assume this commercial product is innovative (other than the design of a UI over a service).

Even if there was nothing illegal (there is on the trademark infringement), calling it a scam would be a stretch but the author has forfeited its ethical right to be treated gently.

Sorry to sound like a party pooper but this project gives off strong “fake it till you make it” vibes. Most AI projects I’ve seen share some type of information on how they work, yet this is completely devoid of it. Is this a new approach to mesh generation or is it using existing tooling? Then you’ve got the “we think it’s really good” line when it’s really just you. Like, why the hand waviness, the use of “GPT” whe…

Understandable. For context, the GPT in the name comes from an earlier version of this project ( https://github.com/gd3kr/blendergpt ) which actually used GPT-4 to write python scripts that Blender would then execute. This would allow GPT-4 to program operations like instantiating primitives with the Blender Python API given only a text prompt (ex. "create 50 cubes") The new version of BlenderGPT (lets call this v2)…

The problem with Trellis is that it insists on generating textures that are already illuminated. Is there a way to exclude lighting?
