"Hey Astra, make me a Mac app. It should render a 3D iPod that you'll build in Blender, then using the original iPod UI and interactions I want to be able to visualize all my Codex threads on it." 15 minutes later: Boom. What's even in this model? What... show more

I asked GPT-6 Astra in Codex to build me an explorable 3D Mysuru Palace. Here's what it created with Blender & Three.js ✨ I separately had it compose an audio track, then mashed it all together Loved bringing this idea to life!

GPT-6-Astra has solved Onshape by PTC for me 😎 it's been building a robot using the sensors i've chosen; i simply dictate to codex what changes i want, and then watch in real-time while it makes them happen in CAD this is ridiculous lol btw that's me controlling the mouse & model views while codex works from the backend using a connector that it built

I'm getting a new office space in November. I went today and took pictures and a 3D scan with some app on my phone. I gave all the files to Codex and told it to render it while I got on a call. Here you can see the clean render, and the 3D scan as well! Wild times.

I asked Codex with GPT Astra 6 to build me a 3D flight game. I could’ve built the dragon manually. Instead, I connected Hyper3D Rodin via MCP to generate the complex model faster and with better quality Minutes later, I had a fully playable 3D game running in my browser. Here’s the workflow ↓

Astra was able to recreate my Studio in Blender from 5 photos + 3 panos, I shared the Blender files 3 days ago, it took 11 minutes initially, folks said it was fake... well. I had Astra make a web viewer for it, so you can check it out yourself, and download the model too.

I ASKED GPT-6 ASTRA TO BUILD A PLAYABLE 3D GAME WITHOUT OPENING BLENDER ONCE It wrote the code and it got the model. It just didn't make the model itself. It called the Hyper3D Rodin MCP for that. Full run below:

fal's Gorkem Yurtseven on the Blender, Astra, and H3 Max workflow professionals are using to get exactly the shot they wanted: "Using Blender with one of these AI models together is an extremely popular workflow for professional work." "You render a low resolution of your scene, what you want to do, using Blender, previous non-AI technology. And once you add that video as a reference to an AI model, you basically get close to 100% controllability." "This is an incredibly popular workflow for VFX artists, people who are doing this professionally, because they want to get exactly what they put into the model." "A week after we launched H3 Max, people started generating these beautiful scenes using an LLM, Astra, in Blender, and all of a sudden it unlocked a whole new pipeline. Using an LLM to create a Blender scene and then passing that to the H3 Max model." "It works very well with H3 Max because it's extremely fast and you can try many things all at once in parallel."

I asked Astra to recreate Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari! It went through F1 specs, regulations, videos from F1 engineers and photos of the car, then built a 3D model (w/ blender) with a full breakdown of the parts. It even made clay & wireframe versions too. Every time I think I’ve pushed this model to its limits, it surprises me.

I had an early access to GPT-6 Astra and I can say, everyone in the world now has a 3D designer at their fingertips. I gave it an image of a house and asked to create it in 3D with all the details including toys, appliances and furniture. This a full 3D model reconstruction in Blender with geometry that you can manually tweak and run 60fps as a locally rendered "game" on device.

GPT 6 Astra is INSANE. It built the backrooms in blender and then added VHS effects etc. Took 30 minutes to make it and another 20 to export. This isn't AI generated video it's all in blender. It did the sound effects too. aprox 5 prompts.

GPT-6 Astra built this iOS app in 13m 3s using my AppCreator skill. I want to see my weekly mileage, not averages. Apple Health app doesn't make it easy. So I gave this prompt to Astra, and this is the result. No other model has made it work like this from one prompt. OpenAI OpenAIDevs

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.

everyone is using GPT-6 Astra to make games... i had it build me a robot prototyper i type what robot i want, and it builds the whole thing and tells me how to make it real one prompt: "prototype me a full Microduck" it designed every part, checked nothing crashes into itself when it moves, did the motor maths so the thing can actually stand up, and handed me the parts list with prices and the step by step assembly not a render, a robot i can build this weekend every piece is ready to send straight to a 3D printer, and the motors and screws come with prices and where to buy them took me 45 minutes and 5 prompts to build (burnt all my limits) process below

I just rebuilt Konoha from Naruto in 3D with Higgsfield + GPT-6 Astra. It even got the street lamps, market stalls and utility lines between rooftops. Took 10–15 minutes. What anime world should I build next?

I just watched Grok Build create this Starship + Mechazilla model directly inside Blender from a single prompt I asked it to model Starship with Super Heavy, the upper stage, Raptor 3 engines, heat-shield tiles, detailed components and Mechazilla Then I watched it take control of my laptop, work inside Blender and build the entire thing right in front of me I refined a few details afterward, but this was the first version it produced from that one prompt A model like this used to take hours or even days of manual work....now i can describe what I want and literally watch it take shape in real time Grok Build is insanely helpful....you can literally give it a task and let it run autonomously on your laptop

In asked GPT-6 Astra in Codex to build RuneScape and deploy it to a ChatGPT Site. You can check out the game here (it is multiplayer, so I'll see you in there!): The most impressive part may be that the demo video below is an Astra one-shot. My prompt: "I want to make a nice 30 second video that will perform well on twitter, show casing the game that we created here - could you make that video?"
