What HN said

What people liked

  • Demo is cool and the MCP use is interesting

    From 2 comments
    • Congrats and releasing something. I'm not a blender user, but I think the demo is pretty cool. Kind of crazy what MCP is allowing LLMs to do.

Objections

  • GitHub repo lacked real code at first

    From 2 comments
    • Couple things: 1. Your github doesn't have anything in it, it is just a generic MCP server. 2. How does this differ from blender-mcp released by ahujasid several months ago? That…

  • Generated meshes are triangle-based, not quads

    • Hi, quick feedback: the demo is extremely short, so I can't really say much. Please generate more complicated scenes and, most importantly, inspect the wireframe. From what I…

  • An MCP server is unnecessary; Blender could call LLM APIs directly

    From 1 comment
    • An MPC server is not necessary, one can just API call LLM services directly from within Blender, and they already know Blender - the LLMs know it very well, it being open source…

  • Add a visual feedback loop so the LLM can check renders

    From 1 comment
    • Is there a feedback loop ? As in: External Prompt -> Claude -> MCP -> Blender -> Cycles -> .exr -> show Claude how good its work actually is -> Correct -> New prompt -> ... Rinse…

  • How to use it with local tools like LMStudio or ollama?

    From 1 comment
    • Great works. In your "How to Setup" the cloned project is "blender-mcp" but the directory is "bleder-mcp-demo". I don't have Claude and no experience with MCP. How to use it with…
