Overview

3D Moder Copilot is an innovative AI assistant that seamlessly integrates with Blender, providing intelligent assistance for 3D modeling, animation, and rendering tasks.

Built on Claude 3.7 Sonnet by Anthropic, this tool understands natural language commands and translates them into precise Blender operations, making complex 3D workflows more accessible and efficient.

3D Moder Copilot Overview

Key Features

Natural Language Control

Control Blender using conversational commands instead of navigating complex menus and shortcuts.

Auto Mesh Optimization

Automatically detect and fix topology issues, non-manifold edges, and other common mesh problems.

Material Generation

Generate complex materials and textures with simple text descriptions.

Rigging Assistance

Simplify character rigging with AI-guided bone placement and weight painting.

3D Model Import

Import and optimize 3D models from various formats including OBJ, FBX, and GLB.

Voice Control

Control Blender with voice commands for a hands-free modeling experience.

Project Inspiration

Why We Created This

3D Moder Copilot was conceived as a bridge between natural language processing and 3D modeling. We believe that the future of 3D creation lies in the seamless integration of AI assistants that understand human intent and translate it into complex modeling operations.

This project serves as an inspiration and starting point for developers interested in:

  • Integrating large language models with creative software
  • Building voice-controlled interfaces for 3D applications
  • Creating AI assistants that understand spatial relationships and design principles
  • Developing tools that make 3D modeling more accessible to non-technical users

make -j16
./build_darwin/bin/Blender.app/Contents/MacOS/Blender

Implementation Guide

Key Components

  1. UI Integration: Implement the 3D Moder Copilot button and panel in Blender's interface
  2. Command Parsing: Create a system to interpret natural language or structured commands
  3. API Connection: Connect to Claude 3.7 Sonnet or other LLM APIs
  4. Blender API Mapping: Map natural language to Blender's Python API calls

Command System Design

We recommend implementing a flexible command system with these features:

  • /command [args] - Direct commands with arguments (e.g., /subdivide 2)
  • @plugin [name] - Plugin system for extensibility (e.g., @plugin material_library)
  • # [context] - Context setting commands (e.g., # Add reference image front.jpg)
  • Natural language queries - Free-form requests (e.g., Create a smooth metallic sphere with blue reflection)
