I might’ve found a way to make yesterday’s Blender to Real video ~5,000x faster (and better imo) lol.
I put the scene together with GPT-6 Astra and PATINA in about 30 minutes. But it had around 7 million polygons, so rendering took a while.
I split it into chunks across 8 GPUs and rendered it in about 30min. My estimate for an M4 Pro was around 40 hours. Obviously, I could’ve optimized the settings, but that’s for the version I posted yesterday.
Since then, I’ve been trying different prompts to get H3 Max to follow the Blender animation while making the buildings and materials actually look real. I think I finally got it.
The 30s video took about 30s to generate with H3 Max. Compared to that estimated 41h render, that’s roughly 5000x faster :)
The part I’m most excited about is how much control this gives me. GPT-6 Astra can build a detailed 3D prototype in minutes, and I can use Blender to set up the camera and movement however I want, then have H3 Max follow it.
I made this with GPT-6 Astra and @fal PATINA
GPT-6 Astra might be the best model I've seen for 3D intelligence and it becomes much more powerful with fal PATINA.
Motion Prompt guide for @fal MiniMax H3 MAX is live! I added a bunch of examples too, so you can just copy the prompts and tweak them however you want.
More prompting guides for this model are coming soon.
