Anthropic signs on as blender corporate patron. Artists lose their minds. Blender foundation downgrades it to a one time donation next day. Meanwhile every major DCC is shipping thousands of ai integrations this year. Screaming at a tide already in the room funny folks really.

Claude now connects to the tools creative professionals already use. With the new Blender connector, you can debug a scene, build new tools, or batch-apply changes across every object, directly from Claude.

More connectors launching today: Adobe Creative Cloud, Ableton, Splice, Canva Affinity, SketchUp, and Resolume. We've also joined the Blender Development Fund as a patron to support open-source development of the software. Read more:

Taking a step back from just code to try some 3D modeling! 🍔🔪 Modeled my very first assets (burger & knife + fork) in Blender and brought them to life in Three.js. Incredibly satisfying to see your own model come to life in the browser! 🤯 #ThreejsJourney# #Threejs#

New demo at about GPU-based movement & bending of instances over a surface shape. #Blender# GNodes + custom script to export data which will be transformed by a custom web tool to generate the final compressed GLTF. #threejs# #webgl# #glsl# #creativecoding#

I was paying for Meshy. Then I found this repo and cancelled my subscription the same day. Modly is a free, open source desktop app that turns any photo into a 3D model using local AI running entirely on your GPU. No cloud. No account. No credits. Drop in a photo. The app removes the background automatically. A local image-to-3D model reconstructs the mesh on your machine. Export as GLB, OBJ, STL or PLY. → Runs Hunyuan3D 2 Mini by Tencent locally, with Microsoft's Trellis and Tripo AI's TripoSG coming next → Unlimited generations, your images never touch a server → Built-in 3D viewer, collections workspace, multiple export formats → Works with Unity, Unreal, Godot, Blender, ZBrush, Cura, PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio → Hackable extension system, swap the model or modify the pipeline yourself → Windows and Linux installers ready, macOS coming soon Cloud services charge $20 to $60 a month and upload every photo you give them.
