Kid's getting way too much hate for what seems to be quite a cool project! Oh he "just" put a UI in front of Trellis? Yes. He did. You didn't. Keep up the good work, gd3kr :)

Using "Blender" when not associated with "Blender" at all is a huge dick move.

yeah, I 100% agree with this.

:) now I will ha ha. There is value in UI just as there is value in a corner store reselling milk. Not everyone needs to be a cow.

Nah, this shouldn't be on the front page. Blender is a registered trademark (I only clicked because I thought it was project from the Blender team) and OP is not transparent about this just being a wrapper.

Oh yeah blendergpt is a bad name unless blender refers to a food processing gadget and AI is controlling that.

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?

Would be interesting videos. Makes me think of how you have to maneuver a shopping cart if pushing backwards; as the rear wheels are fixed and front wheels rotate. At high speed it would be dicey, too easy to oversteer

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. Also, The required google sign in is only put in place to…

You may need to rename it, though, as this is not an official Blender project. [1] Even if "Blender" wasn't an officially trademarked name (which it is, in both the US and EU), standing on the shoulders of Open Source also means respecting their rules when it comes to using a project's name to market your own creation. (Unless you asked for, and received, permission of course. In which case that's something you'll wa…

Yeah, Blender have been getting serious about enforcing their trademark recently. BlenderMarket have said that Blender asked them to rename, and they’ve been around for years, contribute to Blender fund, etc.

This will need to do the same.

Thankyou @gd3kr this is a really handy tool! Will use it next time I need 3D models.

Just made a porcelain elephant to test it, it came out so cute!

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?

Adobe offers indemnity. You’re welcome to use their tools.

Adobe claims their model is clean. But it trains on Adobe stock photos which are littered with Midjourney, SD and Leonardo generated images.

Where did you pull your training data from?

Never ask a woman her age, a man his salary, and an AI company the source of their training data.

Gosh-- that might be as impolite as taking people's work without notifying or compensating them to directly compete against them in a global marketplace making chintzy simulacra. But gee whiz look at the tech!

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.

Interestingly, both the model and the 2D image in the loading indicator are misgenerated in similar ways - the chain is running to the front wheel.
