Controlling Blender with Gemini 3

Controlling Blender with Gemini 3

Gemini 3 was recently announced. According to the benchmarks, it belongs to the top tier in coding capabilities. I tried using it with the Blender API, and it felt not just competitive, but potentially better than other models. Here is a quick introduction.

Showcase

It generates objects like these from simple prompts:

Gemini 3 on Blender 1
Gemini 3 on Blender 2
Gemini 3 on Blender 3
Gemini 3 on Blender 4
Gemini 3 on Blender 5

It can even generate rigs and animations.

Gemini 3 on Blender 6

Since it seemed quite powerful, I built a Streamlit app to interactively input prompts.

Conclusion

There are no specific benchmarks for Blender coding, so this is just my personal impression, but Gemini 3 feels superior to other models for this task. If this intuition is correct, I wonder if it is due to the influence of YouTube training data or its multimodal capabilities.

Thanks for the feedback! I realized the README was a bit unclear, so I've updated it. Could you please try again? If the error persists, could you open an issue with simple reproduction steps and the traceback as text? Thank you.
