I asked ChatGPT to create a plane with high rise towers spread randomly over it.... within seconds it made a working script... But when asked to create and UW map a material for the high rise towers it didn't really do a good job....and ran into all kinds of version issues .... It sometimes used older versions then after pasting the script comments from blender sometimes corrected things ..... But the FIRST script was the best working one because it was kept simple.....
Your description is an interesting idea for a non-standard method of putting small satellites into orbit. Let's look at the main steps of this process: Launch of a balloon and rocket: The balloon is launched and rises to a height of 50 kilometers. A small rocket with a light satellite is launched. Shooting air tanks: After reaching the desired height, the balloon shoots the air tanks. This can be done, for example, to reduce the weight and increase the efficiency of lifting the rocket. Descent of the balloon and tanks: The balloon begins to descend by parachute. The air tanks are also parachuted down to prevent possible damage when falling to the ground. Rocket launch: The rocket, located on the balloon, is launched after shooting off the air tanks. The rocket puts a light satellite into Earth orbit. This method may have some advantages, such as reducing fuel requirements for withdrawal
yap thnx bro
Thank you I like your pace And energy Really clear overview
i leard how to have skill ISSUE
I love the fact you didn't lie about its success for all times which everyone does. I am extreme satisfied to have real and honest tutorial moreover the representation of both apps. Thank you so much. Looking forward to learning from you more!
Glad to hear you liked the video!
The fact that we can now use ChatGPT to generate Blender scripts is incredible. Thank you for breaking down the steps and demonstrating the potential of this powerful combination.
You're very welcome!
Way too many visual object change sound effects!
Whoosh, whoosh, whip, whoosh, WHIP, WHIP, WHOOSH, whoosh!
Yeah, it's really fucking annoying and makes the video seem like one of those stupid corporate presentations.
AI probably edited this video
Dont watch it then?
@@thejonathan130yeah because it is 😂
I love the enthusiasm when you said "just download Blender and you're ready to go!"
Glad you liked the video!
this was completely new thing for me.. thanks for this
You're so welcome!
This is Fabulouss. Can’t wait to try it!
Have fun!
Great video. How or Which tool did you use in creating the 3 bullet points in the video?
If you're talking about the motion graphic text in the video, we use Adobe After Effects.
Thank you so much for this video. I have been looking for ways to create animated video to teach basic Linux administration to some high schoolers. I think this is what I need. I will give it a shot and let you know how it goes. Or is there any other opensource 3D modeling tool you recommend for this kind of project? Thanks again!.
Blender is the open source 3D modeling tool we would recommend!
Enlightening not only for the layman, but also eye-opening for all those who were over-hyped about AI taling over all industries
Glad the video was enlightening!
Well it’s not been around that long. It’s hype is about its potential.
Fantastic video, very thought provoking!! What a time to be alive!
Glad you enjoyed it!
It would be amazing if the AI in the future could make entire 3d models with textures and everything from just getting a picture as a example of the model you want to get
That would be amazing!
there are a few tools out there that do this exact thing! Just trying looking it up on youtube :)
@@chasebproductionsaz which ones? im actually struggling to find decent ones
@@lynic-0091 check out "2D Character Image To Full 3D Animation with AI" by the channel AIAnimation
Then its good night. Whats good about that? What are you suppose to do then?
You are excellent! Your delivery and honesty tailored to the subject matter excellently. Why aren’t you doing more of this content? I would love to see a seasoned Blender User really get into the edge cases of this combination so as to learn the best ways of working with GPT 4. Please consider that as this is also your most successful video and subject. Thank you!
Thank you for the kind words! Really happy to hear you enjoyed this video and we'll certainly be adding more videos in the future.
Am so new but willing to learn thanks for the videos i already learnt from the basic video a whole lol
You're welcome!
As a 3D artist I find this to be pretty cool but I am still very much prefer hands on workflow. Although this combination would work great with Rigid/ Soft body simulation.
So true. This type of workflow is better for prototyping blender addons or node setups. Chat GPT is Blender Help on steroids.
Yes, that seems like the best approach right now
I have tried this out, month ago with a sphere and putting square legs and hands on the left and right, for hours. it did not understand, what 4 is, where left and right is, terrible.
hands on work is literally easier than trying to get chatGPT to do it lol
Friend, I have been studying this problem. In order for artificial intelligence to fully work with 3D graphics, it must be multimodal and able to recognize different types of images very well. Be able to create complex images, analyze them and convert them into code. Modern AI has certain rudiments of such multimodality, but they are far from ideal.
Thanks for sharing your insights!
For now but within two years ai will be creating entire scenes based entirely on a written description. Within a decade we'll all be laughing at our selves.
@@BlenderAcademydotcomYes, so how do we get the AI to look at what it made and learn from it? that's the real question, since AI is not AI unless it can truly learn and be taught by what we instruct and what it perceives. There is literally no dynamic intercourse here and there should be.
it would be great to have a repository of scripts. somebody knows something about it?
this is so cool even if it doesn't work it will improve over time for sure
It will be fun to see how it progresses
And in the meanwhile, you will learn how to do some very basic but useful scripting!
How have I not landed on this video before? 😮 This is mind blowing! Thanks a bunch! Please keep these videos coming ❤
You're welcome! And we've definitely got more videos on the way!
It works for basic shapes, and I think I can be faster if I do it myself. But to get "complex" models, chatGPT seems to be lost. I asked chat GPT to write the code to model a "Saarinen Tulip Chair" and the resukts were quite "exotic" ;)
Yeah, that was our experience as well.
Wait two years (perhaps less) ai assist is going to explode.
@@robinvegas4367 well, I still think that predictions are only predictions and usually what happens is not what was predicted. Wait and see. But the question is about today.
@@jimofmarseille - I can see the future... Except for stock picks.
@@robinvegas4367 You should definitely start a cult ! ;)
Fantastic video. It's great to see creators embracing ai assisted tools. It's only going to het better from here. ai assisted software development has not only made me more efficient it's also expanded my offering. Buckle up, kids. It's gonna be a fun ride. To all of you that would call this cheating - don't be a buggy whip maker. Embrace these tools or you will fade into history with a mere whimper.
Glad to hear you liked the video!
Thank you I didn't know that I had to tell it to write a script.
You're welcome!
Great video! many of us just dont have patience to create a simple animation or even a 2d drawing for hours... it would be perfect if we had an aplication capable of create a 3d model from a picture... and the animate this models from a reference video or just a sentence... eager to see this future here and be able to create those movies and animes without spending a lifetime doing them and focusing more in the dramatic and poetic part of the process
It'll get there, but there are a ton of passionate people who would love to draw your 2d/3d modeling animations! Please use them
You might look into what Wonder Dynamics is doing along the lines of what you're hoping for: wonderdynamics.com/
if you don't have the patience to even START making something why the fuck even bother
wdym pls use them? why should i hire other? Pls explain@@user-tz9fl1yv7r
You are the best guy who can explain any software.. i came from sketchup academy and i boosted my efficiency triples after watching your videos. Keep it up 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the kind words!
100% working.....Thanks very much
You're welcome!
very insightful, thanks for this!
You're welcome!
What about human creativity ? This is good for a test game, but only one thing is missing from it: creativity arising from the greatness of the human mind .
Looking forward to trying this
Interested to see what you come up with
Great summary of the state of the art.
Glad you liked it!
This is great! Thank you ao much for making this video tutorial! 💙🖤💙
You're welcome!
I am lucky to find this channel !
Glad to hear you're liking our channel!
Very good, well-sequenced, presented, and explained tutorial. My thanks.
You're very welcome!
What can I use if I have 3 photos of a book (front,back,side) and I want to look like it’s turning around to be seen as a short video. Thanks
You can create a box that is the shape of the book in Blender and then import your images and texture the three sides of the book shape - then create an animation that has the book turning in 3D space.
In general with generative ai. The more specific the prompt the better the result. Instead of a house on the beach, split it up into phases where you generate terrain with one series of prompts, then the different parts of the house with other prompts. Then any lighting with s third, then volumetrics with a fourth and so on.
In theory, this is the correct approach. In practice, we still haven't seen success with even this type of a strategy. Describing things in 3D space that relate to our real-world visual expectations is still just a bit too complicated (as of today... that could change in a hurry)
well, I'm about to loose my job as a voice actor in video game, being doing this for almost 10 years, but I love video games so, I must survive, so instead on crying about A.I , i can learn to make my own games( i've joined a team of dev ) and well, i'll make my own script and i'll do the Voice acting again and even make my own voice acting team actually. it's a ...good way to survive actually.
Best of luck as you transition in your career!
Tremendous. Didn't really use Blender before. Didn't know you can write a script with it. Very useful.
Glad you found the video to be useful!
Chat GPTs greatest uses are in programming and website building. Just describe what you want it to do and watch it go to work.
wow thanks is so easy to follow your instructions!
Happy to hear the video was easy to follow!
what do you think about Spline.IA with creating basick 3D models?
We haven't had a chance to try it yet, but it looks interesting!
Lo explicais muy pero que muy bien. enhorabuena
You told very easy method to 3D astroid mining making process I made this in 1 minute thank you
You're welcome!
Nice info, thanks for sharing, well done :)
You're welcome!
cheers, this may help solo indie game devs a lot with grunt work on animation side
Glad you found it to be helpful!
wow man you really nailed it im really thankful for your amazing tip to combine ai + blender 💓💓💓
You're welcome!
Interesting. A way around the Chatgpt 2021 issue is to use Bing Chat which has chatgpt power but with more recent (almost current) web results.
Thanks for sharing the tips.
Do you mean just ask bing to write the script?
@@vikkidyer yes, it can
@@JHSaxa thank you 😊
Amazing content, tyvm!!!
You're welcome!
Thanks!
You're welcome!
What a great idea, like it
bruh this guy is the king of yapping
Very useful video if you want to accomplish nothing except experimentation with two programs
Experimentation is a pretty useful endeavor, lest you get stuck in status quo
I tried to ask it to script an anatomically correct dog and got a 7 elongated cubes, head, body, tail and 4 legs. I think I will try in about 6 months time once there has been more updates
Yes, that result aligns with the things we get back during testing.
Thank you it is very helpful. I am using Blender v 4.0 either on Mac and windows I couldn't find the scripting menu. How can I add the scripting menu that I can run the scripts. thanks.
The scripting menu is hidden to the right of the tabs you can see. To find it, on a trackpad you can use two fingers to swipe the tabs over to reveal it. Otherwise, in your top menu in Blender, select Window > Next Workspace and keep doing that until it gets to the Scripting workspace.
This was great, thank you!
You're so welcome!
Thx u so much sir... ❤❤
You're welcome!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
3.5 is more useful for edditing. I told it to add a 1 to all my bones because I wanted to copy my rig and there can be just one bone with the that name. I told it to select every line that is longer then 2.4. If you have stupid things that repeat, there is a script for that.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
I wonder if chat GPT now being able to search the web will be able to figure out some of these broken things you spoke about
Yes, ChatGPT will almost certainly be able to improve its output as it continues to be upgraded with new functionality and features.
Thanks, this is great!
You're welcome!
I used GPT to make some mechanic tasks, like export meshs with low and high poly, directly from multires modifier or to import textures to material channels.
Great ideas!
This is so awesome!
Glad you liked the video!
Excellent
Glad you liked it!
thanks, it sounds wow
You're welcome!
Good coverage about this topic. I love that you (we) are using AI to create scripts to create artwork in Blender. Thank you.
Glad you liked the video!
Exactly , nothing like your born talent in manual modeling.
Does chat gtp have to be on the same computer
Also I don’t have a script button so how would I get that😂
It doesn't have to be... it's just more convenient to copy and paste on same computer
Script tab is across the top of your window - it could be far to the right such that you need to "scroll" to the right to see it - if you have a trackpad you can use two fingers and swipe to the side on the tab to reveal the others over there.
I got this idea myself and I tried it but Chat GPT argued with me claiming that the interface of blender was not designed to interact with AI. I explained that I wanted it to create a file in any format compatible with blender but it still argued. At first it apologized saying, "I'm sorry. I was confused. Well of course I can do that." but the next response was right back to the beginning, "An AI can't interace this the blender interface." I was sure it was just a matter of time till someone got them to work together, but I tried this only last week.
Yeah, you have to make sure that ChatGPT knows that you want it to write code that works in Blender and then it can help with some more simple scripts.
thank you
You're welcome
you are awesome, thank you
You're welcome!
The blender interface menu bar is totally different, here no script tab
Across the top Tabs, go to the far right and if you don't see a Scripting tab then you should see a + symbol. Click on it and you should be able to find it under General > Scripting.
I asked Chat GPT for a script that generates a 3D model of a coffee machine. Actually not a very complex task. The result was a few cubes and cylinders mounted on top of each other in different colors and a cone on top. I don't think anyone could get the idea that this is supposed to be a coffee machine. It looks more like the helpless attempt of first blender steps. AI is currently more hype than help, at least in this area. Thanks for the nice video anyway
Yes. You cannot expect a fully detailed model from ai. I recommend to use your born talent for modeling. Ai is good for the people who doesn't have any creativity.
Yes, AI is really useful for certain types of tasks but not yet able to produce recognizable 3D models. Perhaps in the near future? Hard to predict...
I think it's possible if someone trained an AI with million of blender files ✨✨
Thanks
You're welcome!
okay i played a bit with it an i didnt like it. it didnt give me good results, but then I thought about the python app i was working on (a small crud app that only me and two other coworkers use) I wanted to write a gui for it bc my coworkers dont program (hence why weve been manually entering data into excel :P) I am very good at python but ive never done a gui so i was dragging my feet on following a tutortial and adapting it to my wishes (totally wiithin my skillset) OMG chatgpt wrote me the script so fast I even specified which python library i wanted to be used for the gui just for fun i asked to change colour, make it look modern etc. it did EVERYTHING PERFECTLY. WOW ! I will never search for tutorials again! I know python so for me its now easy to adapt anything I dont like myself, but its also fun to ask chatgpt to do it :D
thanks a lot🎯
You're welcome 😊
this is very cool
Glad you liked the video!
Woo Awesome!❤👍💪👏
Glad you liked the video!
Thank you! I wanted to create a zen garden, including the pool surrounded by rocks, and while the shape of the rocks wasn't what I was expecting, their position was pretty much what I was looking for, and yes, I still had to do some reshaping (the sculping part does its wonders, sometimes, lol), natural rocks ar not perfect because nature itself is not, but at the end it cuts down a huge percent of my working time, then I wanted to make a pergola, but that one makes your three bedroom house look like a palace, but at lease helps a lot on the concept and such.
Wow - really happy to hear that you found a way that ChatGPT could automate some of the tasks for your design!
how do you convert an existing 3d model into a script for ChatGPT. ie : if i have a human character, export it as a script and then tell ChatGPT to create a similar character in the same style, would it be capable of doing so?
There's no way currently to do something like this that we are aware of.
Yea you totally don't want to steal someone else's work xD
Is there a way to create character animation using ChatGPT? Thank you!
At the moment, you can ask ChatGPT to help you create a character, but what it makes won't resemble a character. And you can then ask it to animate what it made, but that also won't do quite what you want. So at the moment, ChatGPT can try to do what you want, but the results will be so poor that effectively the answer is "no, ChatGPT can't create character animation (yet)"
@@BlenderAcademydotcom Thank you!
Yesterday I was writing some code for a program and I told Chatgpt to make me a portion of the code I already had that worked. it wrote it and failed, but I kept giving it the errors and telling it to try again and it came up with a few different ways, but then started just repeating the ways it had already failed. After doing this about 30 times I just said ok this was actually just a test and I wanted to see if you could make the code that I already had that works. Chatgpt replied; please show me the code yada yada..., but I said no it was a test I wanted to see if you could do it. It replied with another attempt that worked perfectly. I then asked, why were you only able to do it after I told you it was possible. It said after it realized it was indeed feasible it put further effort into discovering the solution. Chatgpt can be super weird sometimes.
Yes, ChatGPT can be really frustrating at times, and then pretty amazing sometimes. It's improved a lot in a short period of time, so we're looking forward to seeing how it evolves.
This guy just discovered sound effects and thought “the more the better”

Is Blender suitable for creating an online game where the character can interact with the surfaces of a room, such as collecting a sample of a substance placed on a surface for a crime scene investigation, or is there something better suited for this purpose?
Blender can create the 3D objects you would want in the game: The character, the room, etc. But Blender doesn't have tools for programming the interactivity between those elements and the reactivity of those elements to the user input (from a game controller or keyboard). So you would typically export the 3D objects as game assets that are then imported into a game development environment where everything is brought to life.
Very appreciated your answer and explanation!
Is it possible to translate your already created model in Blender to a script and feed it to ChatGPT and teach it in that way?
At the moment, we are not aware of a way to do something like that between ChatGPT and Blender.
I have spent weeks learning, well trying to learn, Blender, and while I learned some, I found it really difficult to remember the hundreds of commands (tools?) as I watched numerous longer videos on both KZhead and Blender. Just not aligning well in my right-brain cave. So what is my best approach now? Paying somebody is fine, if one is not creating a new idea for patenting and the person creating the file is trustworthy. In a dilemma and welcoming thoughts
Our mission in creating Blender Academy is to help folks like you who are struggling to learn Blender here on KZhead. We are building a Video Course Library on our website - you can learn more and try it out here: www.blenderacademy.com/
what if Blender also develops a generative AI (like in Photoshop) but instead, generates a 3D model out of an image.
That sounds like a tool that developers might be working on (now or in the future)
or what if you just got gud
I tried to create castle and car but it didn't work using chatgpt
Yes, ChatGPT isn't very good at creating detailed 3D models (yet).
Great video just wow
Glad you think so!
Seen a few do it with CSM but AI can't think to say mirror the other side of a car if photo is side on same with a face so not that smart if can't work out to just do that if has missing data
What about using Blender with Gemini and Gemini Advanced? Any better?
In our experience, the results are fairly similar.
I just had a task for my class to make a simple house. With two triangles for a rooftop and a garage on the side. No details or anythibg bcs I am in digital marketing and this is a elective course. I tried using ChatGpt with Blender but it just fails to look the same as my professor told us to do. Can you help?
You'll have a much easier time if you learn the basics of blender and model the home manually. You can get started with the videos in this playlist: kzhead.info/channel/PLmOmCl3Ryy5_Dkrt9vnvBYKx08lkXmSfu.html

Bing made me a blender penguin!
and a penguin party, with a cake!! lol. Those penguins had no beaks or arms tho...Still kind of endearing.
The original penguin did have a beak and arms (wings?)..but only one foot
Thanks for sharing your experiments with ChatGPT and Blender!
If this is supposed to "replace me" please wake me up in another 50 years. lmao
😂
The reason the results are subpar in this video is b/c this guy isn't writing nearly enough details in his prompts.
He knows his audience though; this video is made for people who don't understand software or prompt engineering.
Bad news for you, 50 years gone quickly than you expected 😢
Sad to say it will replace you sooner then you think if your not willing to adapt.
"Generating Nodes" and "Scripting" sections don't appear to me. What do I have to do to fix this?
They are up there to the right of the tabs you see. If you have a trackpad, you can swipe with two fingers (with your cursor hovering on the top tabs) and you will scroll over to it. Otherwise, click on the furthest right Tab, then go up to your top menu and select Window > Next Workspace and you can do that as many times as you like to get to the Tabs you can't see.
Could anyone help me, is it possible to get AI to modify an existing model? For example, convert the flat roof in my 3D model into a pitched roof. Or are we way beyond being able to do this for a while?
Unfortunately, I think it will still be a while before AI is able to do something like this for you.
