A few years ago someone posted this on Reddit claiming to have made this character in blender. I thought that was really fucking dumb because it would take less than an hour and it was clearly ai. They argued with me when I said as much, so I did it myself in about 30 minutes to prove a point.

You can get chat gpt to use blender now too. Watched a video yesterday where you can just straight up tell chat gpt what you want and it feeds python scripts into blender that do the modelling. So you can't even use wireframes or alternate angles to prove its in blender now.

But it took the YouTuber 90 minutes and like $20 of tokens to do one scene. And typical to ai it looked great at first glance but on closer inspection things were weird and required fixing. Like cutlery on the table was rotated wrong and floating, chairs were clipped into the wall, window panes were beveled an insane amount but it was in the frame so it's just wasted geometry.

And for a person who's never used blender the UI and navigation is confusing, so it's still not as accessible as saying their ai slop is a drawing lol. Having the ai render out a fake wireframe or blender viewport is still hard to get right because it requires an even grid or a lot of text, so an experienced blender user could still tell on a closer inspection.

    90 minutes for a scene is pretty damn good. when we did live action, we'd usually have an hour of filming to create a minute of watchable movies. stop motion, 12 hours on average.
