I'm thinking storyboard artists for 3D animated movies would love this.

  I doubt it. Think of the difference between someone who's unfamiliar with vim, versus an expert. I'm the former, so it ends up feeling too meta. I.e. I'm thinking about how to enter commands to do my work, instead of just having the work flow with no perception of tooling between me and the work. Consider that artists have already become experts at sketching, at visual design, etc. For them, a pen or stylus or 3d program doesn't feel like tooling, but give them an unfamiliar tool and it will totally get in the way of creative expression.

    On the other hand, even designers who are adamantly non-technical and refuse to get into any code ala HTML/CSS often still learn keyboard shortcuts very deeply in programs like Photoshop / Illustrator / InDesign. The question to me is whether Vim3D is actually bringing significant improvement over whatever shortcuts exist in current 3d modeling software.
