It’s not a format, but in my mind it implies designs that are supposed to be functional as opposed to models that are meant for virtual games.
It generated a blender script that makes the model.
- bilbo0s 11mo agoDid your prompt instruct it to use blender?
- ponyous 11mo agoYes. I’ve been working and refining the prompt for some time now (months). It’s about 10k tokens now.
- JulesRosser 11mo agoWould you mind sharing the prompt please?
- adastra22 11mo agoI would have used OpenSCAD for that purpose.
- ponyous 11mo agoI started with a lighter weight solution (JSCAD) first and quickly hit the limitations. So I wanted to explore the other side of it - fully complex over the top software (blender). I guess openscad would be a sweet spot in the middle. Good shout, might experiment.
- adastra22 11mo agoBlender is not CAD. Edit: I’m not but picking. Totally different data structures and internal representations.
- ponyous 11mo agoComputer aided design. Tree.js can be CAD. But I agree it’s not meant for CAD even though you can do it.
- adastra22 11mo agoThree.js is not CAD. It is an API for drawing 3D graphics in a browser. 3D graphics, in general, is not CAD. Blender is not CAD. You cannot do CAD operations in blender. I'm not being nit picky here. I think there are issues beyond terminology that you may not be familiar with, as it is clearly not your field. That's ok. The "design" in computer aided design is engineering design. This is not the same definition of "design" used in, say, graphic design. Something is not called CAD because it helps you create an image that looks like a product on a computer. It is CAD because it creates engineering design files (blueprints) that can be used for the physical manufacture of a device. This places very tight and important constraints on the methods used, and capabilities supported. Blender is a sculpting program. Its job is to create geometry that can be fed into a rendering program to make pretty pictures. Parasolid is a CAD geometry kernel at the core of many CAD programs, which has the job of producing manufacturable blueprints. The operations supported map to physical manufacturing steps - milling, lathe, and drill operations. The modeling steps use constraints in order to make sure, e.g., that screw holes line up. Blender doesn't support any of that. To an engineer, saying that an LLM gave you a blender script for a CAD operation is causing all sorts of alarm klaxons to go off.
