The 2026 GDC State of the Game Industry survey of more than 2,300 developers found that 36% now use generative AI at work, but only 30% of studio staff do, against 58% at publishing and marketing firm…
OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra, launched on September 3, 2026, enables direct 3D modeling in Blender from text prompts and exports assets to Unreal Engine 5, marking a shift in AI interaction with professional …
OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra model successfully completed tasks that previous models like GPT-5.6 Sol and Fable could not, according to early-access user Claire Vo, who demonstrated breakthroughs in ChatPRD's…
GLM-5.3-Flash, a large language model, demonstrates strong performance for LLM-assisted 3D modeling in Blender, according to a user running it locally on 4 x RTX 6K Pros. The user reports that GLM-5.3…
LLMs can now generate programmable 3D objects by writing code that defines the object's structure, logic, and articulations, rather than producing static meshes. This approach, highlighted in a projec…
Apple launched a new Mac mini with M6 and M5 Pro chips, featuring up to 4x faster AI performance, 2x faster storage and graphics, and 40 percent faster CPU performance compared to M4 models. The M6 mo…
Apple Inc. unveiled the new Mac mini starting at $900, a $100 price increase over the previous model, built specifically for the on-device AI users who caused the M4 version to sell out. The M6 chip, …
A developer using a Bambu P1S 3D printer found that text-to-3D AI tools and LLM agents failed to generate functional parts, but succeeded by decomposing objects into ordered, grouped steps executed in…
A developer reports that AI generation tools struggle to produce functional 3D parts like a wedge ramp for a robot vacuum, while excelling at aesthetic objects such as a Super Mario figurine. The user…
Nova3D, a system that generates 3D assets as executable Blender source code, produces a valid artifact for all 54 items in its Nova3D-Bench benchmark, with every asset exposing named parts in a parent…
Phi, a browser-native and desktop game engine with a Blender-style editor, Python scripting, and built-in Claude AI, has been released as a single opaque engine.wasm or native executable. The engine i…
Updream's Previs stage functions as a Blender for AI video creators, allowing users to build low-fidelity 3D scenes and set camera paths to guide AI generation, reducing failed shots and saving comput…
A developer rebuilt PolyForge, a standalone Python CAD tool, from a ChatGPT skill into an offline package that renders parametric part templates to OpenSCAD, FreeCAD, or Blender without requiring an L…
Tencent's Hunyuan3D team published WorldClaw, a system that turns text prompts into editable 3D worlds, but its core orchestration relies on Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.8 and OpenAI's GPT-Image-2, with …
StorageReview's lab-tested leaderboard of 2026 mobile workstations ranks the Dell Pro Max 16 Plus as Best Overall, featuring a 175W RTX PRO 5000 that delivered 3,875 Blender samples per minute and a S…
Jason Zhao launched Space on August 10th, a cloud filesystem for macOS that streams file data on demand into applications like Adobe Premiere and Photoshop, positioning it as 'what Dropbox was suppose…
Researchers introduced VideoCoCo, an agentic dual-engine framework that uses executable Blender code as a chain of thought to generate physically consistent videos. The system improved the OmniWeaving…
AI art tools like LLM agents and diffusion models should be used as collaborators, not replacements, to preserve human creativity, according to a practical workflow guide. The author argues that true …
Meshy AI's Image-to-3D feature lets users upload a product photo or sketch and receive a textured 3D mesh in minutes, replacing hours of marketplace searching. The workflow involves uploading a high-r…
NVIDIA has introduced Omniverse libraries, a set of software components that bring physical AI capabilities into existing 3D applications and prepare content for simulation, targeting developers and e…
