Hi aarya, id like to contribute especially on how to make the animations in blenderGPT.

I know it won't hit the same if you change its name, but like the others here, I really would recommend that you come up with some new product name. Additionally, the glyph you're looking for is ™, not ®, if you're not registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. It seems like you're doing a great job, and these are some low hanging fruit you can address just to make sure you're not violating tradem…

You can use ® for registration in other countries/regions too. In UK/EU it's not registered until the end of the opposition period. GPT and Blender are both generic terms, unless the combination is already being used or is registered then it appears - and of course this is not legal advice - that there is no infringement. Indeed I think registration of GPT before USPTO has been refused because it is generic. You migh…

Trademarks are categorical so just because Blender is an English word does not make it generic.

Two entirely different companies can even have the same trademark in two different areas of business.

Blender is a registered trademark, I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with blender. I'm not sure GPT is safe or even correct either.

It has a quick export to blender format is why i imagine it named that

It does interface with blender. However, Garmen can't call their watches "Apple Watches" just because they can interface with Apple products. And they certainly can't claim Apple Watch as their registered trademark like OP ("BlenderGPT®").

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…

In addition, the site claims BlenderGPT is a registered trademark ("BlenderGPT®"). I find this to be very unlikely.

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!

Woooosh.

Well, because we're curious and this is a place where curious critical technology enthusiasts gravitate. If it doesn't do anything novel _at_all_ or if there's no story to elaborate on, go to Reddit. Plus, many are probably tired of seeing the same thing being made repeatedly that just proxys requests to chatgpt and makes them look pretty.

I'm curious: don't you think the aggregate interest of the HN crowd is adequately measured via the voting mechanism? You seem not to find BlenderGPT as presented in its current form uninteresting, but if you accept that (voting up)=interest, many other people did. Why dismiss("go to Reddit" comment) someone else's work, that, evidently, many other HNers find interesting?

I didn't dismiss anyone's work, and I do find the upvote system to, at least in some cases, adequately represent the level interest on hn.

The question was: > why does it matter how it works?

and that's all my comment was intended to answer. Many people here are interested both in the idea of doing something enough to upvote AND are curious how something works. We're not necessarily just consoomers, we're often interested in details, but if I was buying something and wanted to know why I should, the maker should probably be able to answer why their thing is special; in this case, I'm just saying that people on HN are generally interested in how things work.

Sure, HNers are interested in explanations of how things work (I am too!).

But you specifically said that without such an explanation, products should "go to Reddit" (which presumably means, they don't belong on HN). I'll leave whether that's a "dismissal of someone's work" or not up to you, but all I'm saying is: it's evident via voting that many HNers find BlenderGPT, a tech product, interesting, even with the lack of that explanation. And so BlenderGPT does not need to "go to Reddit".

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 :)

Give me a break. The site's ad copy: "BlenderGPT is an advanced artificial intelligence program that creates 3D models from text or image prompts in ~20 seconds. It lets you synthesise fully textured meshes, then import directly to Blender with a shortcut or download the source files for use in any compatible software. We think it's really good, try it out for free now." It's very deliberately posing itself as having…
