Blender Bridge Documentation

How to connect an AI to Blender, what you can ask for, and what to do when something does not work.

What is Blender Bridge

Blender Bridge connects your AI to Blender. Tell the AI what you need: a product shot, a game asset, an interior, an animation. It does the work in your Blender, checks the result in scene screenshots and refines the scene to your brief. You end up with a regular Blender scene, with real objects, materials, lights and cameras that you can open, edit and render.

How it works

Install the Blender Bridge app on your Blender computer, create an account, confirm your email and start your 7 free days. Already subscribed? Just sign in.
Connect your AI in one of three ways. Through the plugin or Blender Bridge MCP, the AI can open Blender, pick the right version, install the Blender Bridge extension in Blender and restart Blender by itself.
Describe the task in plain words. The AI does it in Blender, looks at scene screenshots and fixes what came out wrong.

Your Blender always runs on your own computer. The plugin and the server-address connection pass commands through the Blender Bridge server, which is why you can work with Blender from any device. Local Blender Bridge MCP and the browser extension talk straight to the app on that computer.

What the AI does in Blender

Models and whole scenes: meshes, curves, modifiers, Geometry Nodes, procedural modeling.
Materials and textures: shader nodes, UV unwrapping, baking, and free textures from Poly Haven and ambientCG, plus models and HDRI environments from Poly Haven.
Lighting, cameras, animation and rigging: keyframes, armatures, constraints, drivers, camera orbits.
Physics: rigid bodies, cloth, fluids, particles, hair.
Rendering and compositing: Cycles, EEVEE and Workbench. For long calculations, request a background render: it runs in a separate Blender while the open scene stays responsive.
Export for real projects: GLB for the web and Godot, FBX for Unity and Unreal Engine, USDZ for AR, and STL in millimeters for 3D printing.

To get things right, the AI checks the Blender API reference for the available Blender versions and the Blender 5.2 manual. Blender Bridge saves the AI's steps as checkpoints, so you can return the scene to the one you need and undo the return too. More in What AI can do in Blender.

Three ways to connect

Plugin — for ChatGPT and Claude. A Blender Bridge panel right in the chat: the scene view, checkpoints, project files and render progress. Works from any device, including your phone.
Blender Bridge MCP — for AI apps and code editors: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Trae, Qwen Code, Kimi Code and more. Give the agent the setup instruction from the app, or add the configuration by hand.
Browser extension — for AI websites such as ChatGPT: paste the pairing key from the app and run Auto Setup. It connects even AIs that have neither plugins nor MCP.

Step by step for every app: How to connect AI to Blender.

Who it's for

Blender artists who want to hand routine work to AI: layout, lighting, materials, camera moves, export.
People who want results without a long learning curve — describe the scene and get a finished shot or model.
Game developers, designers, online sellers and makers who need assets, product shots and printable models fast.
Teams who want to work in one Blender together, each through their own AI.

Security

Blender accepts commands only from the Blender Bridge app on the same computer. Every command needs a signed access grant tied to your account. In a shared session, commands reach a computer only after its owner agrees. Usage statistics contain none of your prompts, AI conversations, code, scenes, images or file names.

How to connect AI to Blender

Connect your AI to Blender with Blender Bridge, and it builds models and scenes right in your Blender. You describe what you want in plain words; the AI does it in Blender, checks the result in scene screenshots and refines it. It works with ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, Cursor, VS Code with GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Qwen Code, Kimi Code, Trae, Cherry Studio and other apps that support MCP.

Three ways to connect

Way	Where it works	What you get
Plugin	ChatGPT and Claude	A Blender Bridge panel right in the chat: the scene view, checkpoints, project files and render progress. Commands go through the Blender Bridge server, so it works from any device, including your phone
Blender Bridge MCP	AI apps and code editors with MCP: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Antigravity, JetBrains, Trae, Qwen Code, Kimi Code and more; chats that accept a server address	The standard way to connect an AI to Blender tools. Locally, it talks straight to the app on your Blender computer; by address, it goes through the Blender Bridge server
Browser extension	AI websites such as ChatGPT, in Chrome, Edge and other Chromium browsers	A Blender Bridge panel on the AI's website. Auto Setup connects the chat, even where there are no plugins or MCP

The plugin and Blender Bridge MCP give the best quality and stability. The plugin is built on MCP: the same connection, ready to use and with a panel in the chat. One way is enough.

What you need

A Windows computer with Blender 4.2 or later. Blender is free from blender.org. Blender Bridge for macOS and Linux is in development.
The Blender Bridge app — download it.
A Blender Bridge account with access. Sign in with active access. If you do not have an account yet, create one and confirm your email. Access options are on the free trial and plans page.
Your AI. Use your own ChatGPT, Claude or other AI account, or a local model. You choose AI access separately; it isn't part of a Blender Bridge subscription.

Your AI can get Blender ready by itself. Through the plugin or Blender Bridge MCP, it opens Blender, picks the right version, installs the Blender Bridge extension in Blender and restarts Blender when needed.

Chats: ChatGPT, Claude, Le Chat, Perplexity, Gemini

ChatGPT

The Blender Bridge listing is being prepared for the ChatGPT plugin catalog. You can connect the same server, with the same tools, today by its address:

In ChatGPT, open the Plugins page, click + and choose Add custom MCP server.
Enter the name Blender Bridge and a description, then paste the server address under Connection: https://mcp.blenderbridge.com/mcp.
Choose OAuth sign-in, confirm the settings and click Create as a plugin. Sign in with your Blender Bridge account when the sign-in page opens, then install the resulting plugin.
Start a new chat, pick Blender Bridge with @ and ask the AI to list your computers.

Adding custom servers depends on what your ChatGPT account or workspace allows.

The browser extension works on the ChatGPT website too.

Claude

Claude on the web and in the app. Open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, enter the name Blender Bridge and https://mcp.blenderbridge.com/mcp. Complete setup with OAuth sign-in and sign in with your Blender Bridge account. In a conversation, enable it through + → Connectors and choose your Blender computer. On Team and Enterprise, an organization administrator adds the connector first. This works from any device.

Claude Desktop. Copy the MCP configuration in the Blender Bridge app. In Claude Desktop, open Settings → Developer → Edit Config and add it.

Claude Code. Copy the setup instruction in the Blender Bridge app and paste it into Claude Code; it connects Blender Bridge MCP by itself. Approve the sign-in or permission prompt if one appears.

Le Chat, Perplexity, Gemini and other chats with connectors

If the chat's settings let you add an MCP server by address, paste https://mcp.blenderbridge.com/mcp and sign in with your Blender Bridge account. This is how Mistral Le Chat and Perplexity connect (Perplexity offers custom connectors on Pro, Max and Enterprise).

Gemini. Custom MCP connections are open to personal accounts in the US: 18 or older, with Gemini in English and Keep Activity turned on. In Gemini on the web, open Settings → Connected Apps → Custom apps and add the server address. If Connected Apps is missing, open Personal Intelligence → Connected Apps in settings.

Codex, Cursor, VS Code and other MCP apps

Codex

Copy the setup instruction in the Blender Bridge app and paste it into Codex: the app, the CLI or your code editor. Codex sets up its Blender Bridge MCP connection. Then ask it to check the connection to Blender.

Cursor, VS Code with GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Antigravity, JetBrains AI Assistant

There are two ways; either one works:

Through the agent. Paste the setup instruction from the Blender Bridge app into the app's chat, and the agent adds the MCP connection.
By hand. Copy the MCP configuration in the Blender Bridge app (it already contains the command, arguments and environment) and add it as a stdio server:
• Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity, Gemini CLI, Cline, Kiro — in the app's MCP settings file;
• VS Code — with the MCP: Add Server command or in .vscode/mcp.json, where the top-level key is servers, not mcpServers;
• JetBrains AI Assistant — in the AI Assistant settings, under MCP;
• Zed — in the context server settings.

Then enable the server and refresh the tool list; restart the app if it asks you to.

Qwen Code, Kimi Code, Trae, Cherry Studio, CodeBuddy, Tongyi Lingma

These MCP apps connect with the same stdio configuration from the Blender Bridge app:

Qwen Code — in settings.json or with qwen mcp add;
Kimi Code — with kimi mcp add;
Trae — in MCP settings: Add → Add Manually;
Cherry Studio — in Settings → MCP Servers;
CodeBuddy — in .mcp.json;
Tongyi Lingma — under the plugin's MCP services.

They run models such as Qwen, Kimi, DeepSeek and GLM.

Local models

LM Studio connects to MCP servers, so you can work with Blender through models running on your own computer.

AI websites in your browser

Install Blender Bridge from the Chrome Web Store in Chrome, Edge or another Chromium browser.
Open the extension's settings and paste the pairing key from the Blender Bridge app. Keep the app running.
Open an AI website such as ChatGPT, open the Blender Bridge panel, run Auto Setup and send the AI instruction to the chat. Now describe your task.

Auto Setup recognizes a chat by how the page is built, not by a list of addresses, so the extension connects even AIs that have neither plugins nor MCP. It runs on the computer where Blender runs.

Work from another device, or together

With the plugin or Blender Bridge MCP by server address, Blender stays on your computer and you work with it from a chat on a laptop or a phone. Download finished scenes, renders and models right from the chat.

You can also work as a pair. Whoever provides Blender invites the other person by their Blender Bridge account email; they accept in the plugin or ask the AI to find and accept the invitation. Access to a computer opens only with its owner's consent. More in Collaboration.

Check that it works

Ask the AI to check its connection to Blender, then ask for something simple, such as "put a cube in the middle of the scene and make it blue". The cube appears in your Blender. Blender Bridge saves the AI's steps as checkpoints: if the result isn't right, return the scene to the checkpoint you need, and undo the return if you change your mind.

Questions

How do I get access? See the free trial and plans page for access options. Blender itself is always free.

Do I need a paid AI plan? That depends on your AI: Blender Bridge works with whatever you already use and doesn't sell AI access. Some chats require their own paid plan for plugins and connectors.

Do I need Blender installed? Yes. Blender runs on your computer and the AI builds the scene in it, so the result is a regular Blender file you can open and keep working on.

Can I work from my phone? Yes, through the plugin or Blender Bridge MCP by server address: Blender runs on your computer while you talk to the AI on your phone.

What can the AI do in Blender? Everything Blender exposes to Python: models and scenes, materials and textures, lights and cameras, animation, physics, rendering, and export to Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot, the web and 3D printing. See What AI can do in Blender.

Blender Bridge plugin for ChatGPT and Claude

The Blender Bridge plugin connects ChatGPT and Claude to your Blender. The AI builds the scene in Blender on your computer while you write to it from a desktop, a laptop or a phone. In chats that support app panels, a Blender Bridge panel opens beside the conversation with the scene, checkpoints, project files and render progress.

What the plugin gives you

A panel in the chat: the scene view, checkpoints, project files and render progress, in chats that show app panels.
Work from any device: commands go through the Blender Bridge server; your Blender stays on your computer and the chat can be anywhere.
Finished files in the chat: download the scene, a render or a model for Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot or 3D printing right from the conversation.
Collaboration: accept an invitation from another person in the plugin.
Everything Blender Bridge MCP can do: the plugin is built on MCP, so the AI gets the same tools — the scene, code, screenshots, rendering, export, Blender reference and free assets.

How to connect

The Blender Bridge listing is being prepared for the ChatGPT and Claude catalogs. You can connect the same server today at https://mcp.blenderbridge.com/mcp.

ChatGPT:

Open the Plugins page, click + and choose Add custom MCP server.

Blender Bridge MCP

Blender Bridge MCP is an MCP server for Blender: it gives any app that supports MCP the tools to work in your Blender. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents read the scene, run code, check the result in screenshots and refine the scene to your brief. The server ships inside the Blender Bridge app, so there is nothing separate to download or build.

What MCP is

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard AI apps use to connect external tools. The server tells the agent which actions are available, and the agent calls them when the task needs them. With Blender Bridge MCP, that list gains actions in Blender: read the scene, run code, take a screenshot, render a frame, export a model, return the scene to a checkpoint.

Two ways to connect

	Local	By server address
For	The AI app and Blender on one computer; MCP talks straight to the app	A chat or app on any device, including the same computer, and collaboration; commands go through the Blender Bridge server
How	The stdio configuration from the Blender Bridge app	The address `https://mcp.blenderbridge.com/mcp` and your Blender Bridge account
Where	Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Antigravity, JetBrains AI Assistant, Gemini CLI, Cline, Kiro, Zed, LM Studio, Trae, Qwen Code, Kimi Code, Cherry Studio, CodeBuddy, Tongyi Lingma	ChatGPT, Claude, Mistral Le Chat, Perplexity, Gemini (personal US accounts, 18+, English, Keep Activity on) and other apps that accept a server address

One connection works with the Blender on this computer and, after you sign in, with your computer elsewhere.

How to connect

First, sign in to the Blender Bridge app with a confirmed email and active access. If you do not have an account yet, start with installing the app.

The fastest way: the setup instruction

In the Blender Bridge app, open the connection window, choose MCP and copy the setup instruction. Paste it into your app's chat and ask it to connect Blender Bridge MCP. Agents that can edit their own settings, such as Codex, Claude Code and Cursor, add the connection themselves. If an app can't, the AI tells you where to add the configuration.

Manually: the stdio configuration

Copy the MCP configuration in the app; it already contains the command, arguments and environment for your installation, so you never type paths by hand.

Claude Desktop — Settings → Developer → Edit Config, add the configuration.
Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity, Gemini CLI, Cline, Kiro — the app's MCP settings file, as a stdio server.
VS Code — the MCP: Add Server command or .vscode/mcp.json, where the top-level key is servers, not mcpServers.
JetBrains AI Assistant — AI Assistant settings, under MCP.
Zed — the context server settings.
Qwen Code — settings.json or qwen mcp add.
Kimi Code — kimi mcp add.
Trae — MCP settings, Add → Add Manually.
Cherry Studio — Settings → MCP Servers.
CodeBuddy — the .mcp.json file.
Tongyi Lingma — the plugin's MCP services.

After adding the server, enable it and refresh the tool list; restart the app if it asks you to.

By server address

In the connector or MCP server settings, add https://mcp.blenderbridge.com/mcp, sign in with your Blender Bridge account and ask the AI to list your computers and choose one. The Blender Bridge app must be running on that computer.

What the agent can do

Task	Tools
Understand the scene	`get_scene_state`, `take_screenshot`, `get_blender_info`
Build and change the scene	`execute_blender_code` — any Blender Python, with a named step
Follow a long operation	`get_blender_operation_status`, `cancel_blender_operation`
Go back to a step	`scene_checkpoints` — the AI's steps are saved as checkpoints, and a return to an available one can be undone; `undo_last_action`
Know Blender	`lookup_blender_api` — the API reference for the available Blender versions: 3.6, 4.2, 4.4, 4.5, 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2, `search_blender_manual` — the Blender 5.2 manual, `get_blender_recipe` — recipes for common tasks
Use ready assets	`find_free_assets` — textures from Poly Haven and ambientCG, models and HDRI environments from Poly Haven
Work from a reference	`set_reference_image`, `compare_reference_render` — a photo as reference and a side-by-side comparison
Render	`render_project_image` — a PNG frame in the project folder; for long renders and animation, the AI starts a background render through `execute_blender_code`: a copy of the scene renders in a separate Blender, with progress and stop
Save and export	`save_blend_file`, `export_model` — GLB for the web and Godot, FBX for Unity and Unreal Engine, USDZ for AR, STL for 3D printing
Set itself up	`open_blender`, `select_blender`, `ensure_blender_extension`, `restart_blender_with_extension`, `check_connection`
Work together	`invite_collaborator`, `accept_collaboration`, `end_collaboration`

The agent picks the tools itself. You describe the task, for example: "build a low-poly forest for a mobile game and export it as FBX for Unity".

If the agent can't see Blender

Ask the AI to check its connection to Blender. Blender Bridge reports exactly what is missing: the app not running, Blender closed, the Blender Bridge extension not installed. The AI opens Blender, installs the extension and restarts Blender itself.
If the app doesn't see the server at all, copy the configuration from the app again, enable the server and refresh the tool list, or restart the app.

Browser extension

The Blender Bridge extension connects the AI you chat with on a website to Blender: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek and other AI chats. A Blender Bridge button appears on the chat page. When the AI sends Blender code, you run it with one click or switch on automatic mode. Scene screenshots go back to the chat, so the AI sees what it made.

Overview

The extension connects even AIs that have neither plugins nor MCP. If your app supports a plugin or MCP, those give the best quality and stability: How to connect AI to Blender.

Installation

Install Blender Bridge from the Chrome Web Store in Chrome, Edge or another Chromium browser. "Get started" opens: four steps, once.
Your account. Sign in to Blender Bridge or create an account and confirm your email. If you do not have access yet, choose a trial or subscription; see free trial and plans.
The Blender Bridge app. Install the app on the same computer and sign in with the same account. In the app, open Settings → Connection methods → Browser extension, copy the pairing key and paste it into the extension.
Blender. Press Open Blender in the app.
Your AI chat. Open the chat and press the Blender Bridge button in the message box. Run Auto Setup once for the site, then press Finish.

In each new chat, press LLM Instruction first so the AI knows how to work with Blender, then describe your task.

How the extension recognizes a chat

Auto Setup recognizes a chat by how the page is built: the input field, the send button, the AI's replies. There is no list of allowed sites, so the extension also connects sites that aren't on anyone's list. Auto Setup runs once per site.

Modes and panel placement

Manual mode: when the AI sends Blender code, a Run button appears. You check the code and run it.
Auto mode: code runs on its own, for long hands-off work.
Screenshots: On sends a screenshot after every command; Auto sends one when the AI asks; Off sends none.
Panel placement: an icon in the chat's input field, a floating button or the browser side panel.
Checkpoints: Blender Bridge saves the AI's steps, so you can return the scene to the one you need.

If the button doesn't appear

Reload the chat page.
Open Blender Bridge from the extension icon in the browser toolbar and check "Get started": sign-in, pairing key, app running.
Go back to the chat and run Auto Setup from the Blender Bridge button.

Which AI to use with Blender

With Blender Bridge, Blender works with the AI you already use: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Qwen, DeepSeek, Kimi, GLM or another. The AI builds the scene with code through Blender's Python API, so what matters most is how reliably the model writes code and understands images. Here is how to choose for your situation, what to look for in a model, and where each AI connects.

Choose by situation

Your situation	What to use
You already use ChatGPT or Claude	Connect them to the Blender Bridge server by address — see the plugin for ChatGPT and Claude. Works from your phone too
You work in Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or another AI code editor	Blender Bridge MCP — see the MCP server for Blender
You use Qwen, Kimi, DeepSeek or GLM	Qwen Code, Kimi Code, Trae, Cherry Studio, CodeBuddy or Tongyi Lingma with Blender Bridge MCP; DeepSeek and Gemini on the web through the browser extension
You want a model on your own computer	LM Studio with Blender Bridge MCP
You prefer a chat on a website	The browser extension: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek

What matters in a model

Reliable Python coding. Every object, material and camera move is code. The better the model writes code, the more accurate the scene on the first try.
Image understanding. The AI can look at scene screenshots. A model that reads images well notices mistakes and refines the scene.
A plugin or MCP. With these, the AI reads the scene, runs code, checks the result and keeps going by itself. That gives the best quality and stability.
Long conversations. Scenes grow step by step, and it helps when the model remembers earlier steps.

Where each AI works with Blender

AI	App	Connection method
ChatGPT (OpenAI)	ChatGPT on the web and in the app	server-address connection; browser extension
Codex (OpenAI)	Codex app, CLI and code editors	Blender Bridge MCP
Claude (Anthropic)	claude.ai and the Claude app	server-address connection; browser extension
Claude (Anthropic)	Claude Desktop, Claude Code	Blender Bridge MCP
Gemini (Google)	Gemini CLI, Antigravity	Blender Bridge MCP
Gemini (Google)	Gemini on the web	browser extension; server-address connection for personal US accounts, 18+, Gemini in English, Keep Activity on: Settings → Connected Apps → Custom apps
Qwen (Alibaba)	Qwen Code, Tongyi Lingma, Cherry Studio	Blender Bridge MCP
Kimi (Moonshot)	Kimi Code	Blender Bridge MCP
DeepSeek	the DeepSeek website	browser extension
DeepSeek, GLM and other models	inside Trae, Cherry Studio, CodeBuddy, Cursor, Cline and other MCP apps	Blender Bridge MCP
Mistral	Le Chat	server-address connection
Models on your own computer	LM Studio	Blender Bridge MCP

Do you need a paid plan

That depends on your AI. Blender Bridge works with whatever you already use and doesn't sell AI access. Some chats require their own paid plan for custom connections. A local model through LM Studio is free.

How to get the best result

A good request names the object, size, position and mood. For example: "a table two meters by one in the middle of the scene, three candles of different heights on it, warm candlelight, dim surroundings, camera at the eye level of a seated person". Big scenes go faster in parts: the base first, a screenshot, then one change at a time.

What AI can do in Blender

Connect ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, Qwen Code or another AI through Blender Bridge, and it builds scenes, lights them, animates and prepares files right in your Blender. The AI works through Blender's official Python API, so the whole program is open to it: modeling, nodes, materials, lighting, animation, physics, rendering, editing and export. Below are Blender's areas as listed in the official Blender 5.2 manual, with an example request for each. To connect your AI, see How to connect AI to Blender.

Modeling

Meshes, curves, surfaces, text, volumes, modifiers, booleans, subdivision surfaces. The AI builds single objects and whole scenes: a room, a street, a game level.

Geometry Nodes and procedural work

Node graphs for scattering, arrays, procedural generation and parametric assets. The AI builds the nodes so a single parameter changes the object.

Materials, textures and UVs

Shader nodes, Principled BSDF, procedural textures, glass, metal, subsurface scattering, UV unwrapping, baking. The AI finds textures on Poly Haven and ambientCG, and models and HDRI environments on Poly Haven, crediting the source.

Lighting and cameras

Studio and natural light, HDRI, color temperature, volumetric fog, focal length, depth of field, framing.

Animation and rigging

Keyframes, animation curves, shape keys, armatures and skinning, constraints, drivers, Rigify, camera moves.

Physics and simulation

Rigid bodies, cloth, soft bodies, fluids, smoke, particles, hair, force fields, collisions, simulation baking.

Rendering and compositing

Cycles, EEVEE and Workbench, samples, denoising, render passes, compositing nodes, image and video output. For long renders and animations, request background rendering in a separate Blender: your open scene stays responsive, you see progress and can stop that render.

Grease Pencil and video editing

Drawing and 2D animation in 3D space, and video editing in Blender from frames and clips.

Import and export

FBX, glTF/GLB, USD, OBJ, STL, PLY, Alembic, SVG. A dedicated export step for each destination: GLB for the web and Godot, FBX for Unity and Unreal Engine, USDZ for AR, and STL in millimeters for 3D printing. Export respects the scene scale, sets the axes and reports units, file size and material warnings. More in Export to Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot and 3D printing.

Scripting and automation

Batch processing, renaming, custom tools, repeated operations across dozens of objects.

What helps the AI get it right

The Blender API reference for the available Blender versions and a search of the Blender 5.2 manual, so the AI checks real function and parameter names instead of guessing.
Scene screenshots, so the AI can look at its own work and fix mistakes.
A reference photo: give it a photo and the AI compares the render with it side by side.
Checkpoints: Blender Bridge saves the AI's steps, so you can return the scene to the one you need and undo the return.

The stronger the AI model you choose and the clearer the task, the more precise the result. A good request names the object, size, position and mood.

Sections

Building 3D models with AI

With Blender Bridge, ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, Qwen Code and other AI build 3D models and whole scenes right in Blender: from your description they create the geometry, materials, lighting and camera. The result is a real Blender scene, not a picture and not a locked file. You can save it, move things around, change the lighting, render it and export it in a supported format. To connect your AI, see How to connect AI to Blender.

What you get

Single models: furniture, gadgets, tableware, game props, product packaging, parts for printing.
Whole scenes: a room, a kitchen, a street, a game level, a studio product shot.
Procedural objects: fences, stairs, shelving, arrays and scattering with Geometry Nodes.
Ready assets in your scene: free textures from Poly Haven and ambientCG, plus models and HDRI environments from Poly Haven.

The AI works through Blender's Python API, so every Blender modeling tool is available: meshes, curves, modifiers, booleans, subdivision, Geometry Nodes.

How to phrase a request

Precision comes from a clear description. One simple rule works: name the object, the size, the position and the mood.

Weak: "make it look good".
Good: "put a table two meters by one in the middle of the scene, three candles of different heights on it, camera at the eye level of a seated person".
Better still, say what the light does: "warm candlelight, dim surroundings".

Big scenes go faster in parts: the base first, then a screenshot, then one change at a time.

How the AI refines the model

The AI looks at scene screenshots and fixes what came out wrong. For accuracy it can check the Blender API reference for the available Blender versions and the Blender 5.2 manual. Give it a reference photo and it compares the render with the photo side by side.

If you don't like the result, return the scene to the checkpoint you need and say it differently. That's how the work goes: ask, look, adjust.

Where it goes next

Into a game: FBX for Unity and Unreal Engine, GLB for Godot.
Onto the web: a GLB model for the web.
To a printer: STL in millimeters.
Into a shot: a render in Cycles or EEVEE.

Geometry Nodes with AI

Geometry Nodes is Blender's system of connected nodes that builds and changes geometry from parameters. With Blender Bridge, ChatGPT, Claude, Codex and other AI assistants build these systems for you: scattering, arrays, procedural objects. You describe what you need; the AI builds the nodes and exposes the key numbers on the modifier. From then on, one parameter changes the object: the fence length, the number of floors, the density of a forest.

What you can build

Scattering: trees across a landscape, rocks along a road, books on a shelf, a crowd in a square.
Arrays and repeats: a fence, stairs, shelving, a colonnade, rows of seats.
Procedural objects: a building with a choice of floors and windows, pipework, cables between points.
Curves and attributes: cables and pipes along curves, color by height or by a random value.
Effects and simulation: an object appearing piece by piece, growing, breaking into cubes; node-based simulation and baking the result.

How to ask

Say what should be a parameter: "expose the length and plank spacing on the modifier".
Give limits: "from three to twelve floors".
Ask for an explanation: "explain how this graph works" — a handy way to learn Geometry Nodes on your own scene.

Examples:

"Make a fence with Geometry Nodes and expose the length and plank spacing as parameters."
"Scatter two hundred trees across the landscape so they don't overlap."
"Build a tower block where the number of floors and windows changes on the modifier."
"Make the logo assemble itself from cubes over three seconds."

Why it works well with AI

A node graph is part of your Blender scene: you can open it in the node editor, look at it and keep working by hand. The AI builds it through Blender's official Python API and can check the API reference for the available Blender versions and the Blender 5.2 manual to use real node and socket names.

Next step: connect ChatGPT, Claude or Codex to Blender.

Materials and free assets

With Blender Bridge, ChatGPT, Claude, Codex and other AI assistants set up materials in Blender and find free textures, skies and models by themselves. Say "an old oak parquet floor", and the AI finds a matching texture set, builds the material and applies it. Assets come from Poly Haven and ambientCG under the free CC0 license, and the AI credits the source.

Materials

Principled BSDF and shader nodes — Blender's main material, which describes a surface by its physical properties: wood, metal, glass, plastic, stone, fabric, leather, ceramics.
Procedural textures: noise, Voronoi, waves — adjustable patterns without image files.
UV unwrapping so a texture sits on the model evenly.
Baking to carry a procedural material into a game engine or onto the web: ask the AI to bake the textures. Blender Bridge's ready-made export warns about the procedural materials it recognizes.

Free assets

What	Where from	What it's for
HDRI skies and environments — a panorama that gives the scene its light and reflections	Poly Haven	Sunset, studio, overcast day, interior
Texture sets for a PBR material — a material built from maps of physical properties	Poly Haven, ambientCG	The AI builds the material from the available color, roughness, metallic and normal maps, and adds opacity and displacement when the task needs them and the maps exist
3D models	Poly Haven	Furniture, plants, props — straight into the scene

Searching doesn't touch the scene. The AI downloads the chosen asset separately into Blender Bridge's storage on your computer, then applies it to the task; reusing it takes the downloaded files. Search works best in English; the AI translates your request itself.

How to ask

"Make an old parquet floor and plaster walls."
"Add a sky: sunset over the sea."
"Find a free armchair model and put it by the window."
"Make metal with light scratches, procedurally, no textures."

Where next

Building 3D models — whole scenes.
Rendering — the final frame.
Export — models with materials for Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot and the web.

Next step: connect ChatGPT, Claude or Codex to Blender.

Scene from a photo

Give ChatGPT, Claude, Codex or another AI a photo, and it builds a scene in Blender to match. The photo sits behind the scene camera as a reference; the AI sets up the camera, objects, materials and lighting, then saves one image with the photo on the left and the render on the right. You see at once what already matches and what still needs work.

How it works

Share the photo: as a chat attachment if your AI can pass files to its tools, as a direct public link to the image, or as a file in your project folder. PNG and JPEG both work.
The AI puts the photo behind the camera and builds the scene to match: proportions, object placement, camera angle, lighting.
Render and compare. The AI renders a frame and saves a side-by-side image of the photo and the render to your project folder. Use a photo and render of up to 8 megapixels each; they are scaled down side by side, with proportions kept.
Refine. Look at the comparison and say what to change: "lower table", "wider window", "cooler light".

What you can build from a photo

An interior or a room — to visualize a renovation or new furniture.
A product — to get studio shots from any angle.
A building or a street — as the base for a scene or a game level.
A shot from a film or an ad — to recreate its composition and lighting.

Get the best result

Use a sharp photo that shows the whole subject. The less is hidden, the more accurate the scene.
Give sizes if you know them: "the room is four by five meters, the ceiling is 2.7 meters high".
Work in steps: geometry and camera first, then materials, then lighting.
Free textures can come from Poly Haven and ambientCG, and HDRI skies and models from Poly Haven — see Materials and free assets.

If a version doesn't work for you, return the scene to the checkpoint you need and ask again.

Animation in Blender with AI

With Blender Bridge, ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, Qwen Code and other AI animate the scene in Blender: they move objects and the camera, build rigs, run physics and render video. Everything Blender animates through its Python API is available to the AI: keyframes, curves, constraints, drivers, armatures, simulations. To connect your AI, see How to connect AI to Blender.

What you can animate

Objects: rotation, motion along a path, reveals, loops.
The camera: orbits around an object, moves through the scene, push-ins, focus pulls.
Lights: flicker, time-of-day changes, lamps switching on one by one.
Characters and machines: armatures, skinning, constraints, drivers, shape keys, Rigify — the AI turns it on in Blender if it's off.
Physics: falling bodies, cloth, fluids, smoke, particles — with the simulation baked.
2D in 3D: Grease Pencil animation.

How to ask

Give the duration in frames or seconds. "Slowly" is open to interpretation; "over 48 frames" is not.
Name what moves: an object, the camera or a light.
Check frame by frame: ask for screenshots of the start, middle and end.

Examples:

"Rotate the cube 360 degrees over two seconds."
"Move the camera from the door to the table over a hundred frames with smooth ease in and out."
"Make the light blink every half second."
"Make a five-second camera orbit around the product and render a preview."

Rendering the animation

Ask for a background render: a copy of the scene renders in a separate Blender, your Blender stays responsive, you see the progress and can stop the render. The frames are put together into a video in Blender itself. With the plugin, you can download the finished video right from the chat.

If the animation didn't come out as intended, return the scene to the checkpoint you need and refine the request.

Sections

Physics and simulation

With Blender Bridge, ChatGPT, Claude, Codex and other AI set up physics in Blender: falling objects, cloth, fluids, smoke, particles. You describe what should happen; the AI places the objects, sets their properties, bakes the simulation and shows you the result. You can render the finished simulation to video in the background.

What you can simulate

Rigid bodies: falling, collisions, a pyramid of cubes collapsing, dominoes.
Cloth: a tablecloth on a table, a flag in the wind, a curtain, clothes on a mannequin.
Soft bodies: jelly, a ball, a pillow.
Fluids: water poured into a glass, a wave, splashes.
Smoke and fire: a campfire, smoke from a chimney, an explosion.
Particles and hair: snow, sparks, grass, fur.
Force fields: wind, vortex, attraction.
Dynamic Paint: footprints in snow, wet patches, painting with an object as the brush.
Simulation in Geometry Nodes: node-based particle and growth systems that evolve frame by frame.

How to ask

Describe the event and its length: "drop ten cubes onto the table, three seconds".
Name the properties that matter: "heavy cloth, like velvet", "slow, thick water".
Ask for a check: "show me screenshots of the start, middle and end".

Examples:

"Make a tablecloth fall onto a round table."
"Make the flag wave in a strong wind."
"Pour water into the glass over two seconds."
"Add snowfall over the scene."

Baking and rendering

The AI bakes the simulation so it plays back the same way every time and renders without recalculating. Before a background video, ask the AI to bake the simulation to a file cache and show frames from the start, middle and end. Long videos are best rendered in the background: a copy of the scene renders in a separate Blender, your Blender stays responsive, you see the progress and can stop the render — see Rendering.

If a simulation goes wrong, return the scene settings to the checkpoint you need, refine the request and ask the AI to bake again: a checkpoint doesn't roll back the baked file cache. Related: Animation.

Rendering with AI

With Blender Bridge, ChatGPT, Claude, Codex and other AI assistants set up and run renders in your Blender. Ask for a quick preview to check an idea, or a final frame in high quality. Long renders can run in the background: your Blender stays responsive, you see the progress and can stop the render.

What it can do

Engines: Cycles, EEVEE and Workbench.
Ready-made preview and final presets. Ask the AI to apply one, and it sets the resolution, quality and color of the frame. A preview is a quick check at half resolution. Final means full resolution and more samples (the number of light calculations per pixel: more means a cleaner image); in Cycles it turns on denoising, in EEVEE ray tracing.
Color: the preset uses the AgX view transform, with natural highlights instead of blown-out whites.
Transparent background — for products, icons and compositing on a website.
Frames up to 8192 × 8192 with the sample count you choose, saved as PNG to your project folder.
Animation and video: a frame range or the whole clip.

Background renders

Ask to "render in the background". Blender Bridge saves a copy of the scene and renders it in a separate Blender, with the same Cycles GPU settings as your Blender. While it renders:

your Blender stays responsive, so you can keep looking at the scene and working;
the AI reports the progress, and in chats with the Blender Bridge panel you see it there too;
you can stop it from the chat: "stop the render".

How to ask

"Make a quick preview in EEVEE."
"Render a final frame in Cycles, 1920 × 1080, transparent background."
"Render frames 1 to 120 in the background and make a video."
"Make three product angles and render each one."

Where the result goes

Images and videos are saved to your project folder on your computer. With the plugin or a connection through the Blender Bridge server address, you can download the finished file right from the chat, even on your phone. For social media, the AI can prepare a high-quality viewport image with Blender Bridge styling.

Export from Blender to Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot, the web and 3D printing

With Blender Bridge, your AI doesn't stop at building a model in Blender. It prepares the file for where it's going: a game engine, a website, augmented reality or a 3D printer. Tell ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, Qwen Code or any other connected AI where the model is going. It picks the format, respects the scene scale, sets the axes and saves the file to your project folder. To connect your AI, see How to connect AI to Blender.

Export formats by destination

Destination	Format	What matters
Unity	FBX	Axes for Unity: Y up, −Z forward. Scene scale respected, textures embedded
Unreal Engine	FBX	Axes for Unreal: Z up, −Y forward. Scene scale respected, textures embedded
Godot	GLB	The model and its materials in a single file
Websites and web viewers	GLB	File size in the report, which matters for page speed
AR on iPhone and iPad	USDZ	Scene units in meters, as AR viewers expect
3D printing	STL in millimeters	Your slicer gets real dimensions
Anything else	OBJ, PLY, Alembic, USD, glTF and other Blender formats	The AI exports through Blender's Python API on request

Export leaves your scene unchanged. Export the whole scene or only the selected objects.

How to ask

One sentence with the destination is enough:

"Make a low-poly treasure chest for a mobile game and export it as FBX for Unity."
"Export the selected model for Unreal Engine."
"Get this vase ready for printing and save it as STL in millimeters."
"Export the scene to GLB for the web and keep the file light."

The AI tells you what was saved and where, with axes, units, file size and any material warnings. With the plugin in ChatGPT or Claude, you can download the file right from the chat, even on your phone.

Scale, axes and materials

The most common export problems are wrong scale, swapped axes and materials that don't carry over. So export in Blender Bridge is set up for each destination:

respects the scene unit scale for GLB, FBX and STL;
sets the axes for Unity and Unreal Engine and names them in the report;
warns when procedural materials need baking to carry over to another app;
leaves the objects in your scene untouched and never overwrites an existing file: every export is a new file.

Then open the file in your engine or slicer. If something needs to change, tell the AI: it fixes the model in Blender and exports again.

From idea to finished asset

A typical game asset goes like this:

Describe the object: "a low-poly stone well, under 2,000 triangles".
The AI builds the model, adds materials and shows a screenshot.
Adjust in words: "darker roof, bigger bucket".
Say: "export it as FBX for Unity". The file is ready.

If something goes wrong, return the scene to the checkpoint you need: Blender Bridge saves the AI's steps.

Sections

Checkpoints and undo

When ChatGPT, Claude, Codex or another AI works in Blender through Blender Bridge, each of its steps is saved as a checkpoint, so you can return the scene to the step you need. Each step has a clear name in your language, like "Place the table" or "Warm lighting", so you can see where you're going back to. The return itself can be undone too.

What you can do

Go back to a step. "Return the scene to the 'Place the table' step" — the scene becomes what it was right after that step.
Undo the last change. "Undo the last change" — the scene goes back to how it was before the AI's latest change. Everything changed after it, including your manual edits, goes back too; the AI tells you the point it returned to and which of its steps were undone.
Undo a return. Changed your mind? "Put it back." This works until you start changing the scene again.
Save your own checkpoint. Before a bold edit: "save a checkpoint called 'before lighting'". You can return to it later.
See the history. "Show me the latest steps" — the AI lists them, newest first. In chats that show app panels, the history is also in the Blender Bridge panel.

How it works

A checkpoint is the whole Blender scene. A return restores the entire scene, not a single property. Renders, exported models and other files on disk stay where they are.
If the scene is already saved to a file, a return updates its .blend file too; Blender Bridge saves backups first.
Steps are the AI's work. Your manual edits in Blender don't become separate steps; they become part of the scene before the AI's next step.
A backup is saved before every return, so you can undo the return until you keep working.
Recent history is kept. The oldest checkpoints make room for new ones over time.

Use it well

Try variations boldly. Ask for three lighting options one after another, then go back to the best one.
Save your own checkpoint before a big rework — "save a checkpoint called 'base done'".
Save important results as a file. Checkpoints are for working on the scene; a .blend file in your project folder is for what you want to keep: "save the scene".

Blender from any device

With Blender Bridge, you can work in Blender from a chat in your browser or on your phone. Blender itself stays on your computer, with all its power, its GPU and your files. You talk to the AI in ChatGPT or Claude from a laptop, tablet or phone, and it builds the scene in that Blender, shows you the result and hands you the finished files.

How it works

The Blender Bridge app runs on your Blender computer.
You connect the chat to the Blender Bridge server at https://mcp.blenderbridge.com/mcp and sign in with your Blender Bridge account. Steps for ChatGPT and Claude are on the plugin page.
In the chat, you choose the computer you want to work on. From then on, the AI works in that Blender wherever you are.

The Blender Bridge server passes commands between the chat and your computer. The scene is built and rendered in your Blender. For downloads from the chat, the server issues a signed link valid for 24 hours from upload. Anyone who receives the link can download the file without a separate sign-in. The server copy is deleted by a separate cleanup process.

What you can do from a phone

Build and change scenes in words: "put a vase with flowers on the table", "make the light feel like evening".
See the result. The AI sends scene screenshots, and in chats that show app panels the Blender Bridge panel shows the scene view, checkpoints and project files.
Render. Ask for a background render: a copy of the scene renders in a separate Blender on your computer while the chat shows the progress.
Go back a step. Blender Bridge saves the AI's steps as checkpoints, and a return can be undone.
Download the result: the .blend scene, a render, a model for Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot or 3D printing.

What you need

A Windows computer with Blender 4.2 or later and the Blender Bridge app. Keep the computer on and the app running.
A chat with the plugin or custom connectors: ChatGPT, Claude, Mistral Le Chat, Perplexity.
A Blender Bridge account with a confirmed email and active access.

Two people, one Blender

The same way, you can work with someone else. Invite them by their Blender Bridge account email, and they work in your Blender through their own AI. Commands reach your computer only after you agree.

Collaboration

With Blender Bridge, two people work in one Blender, each through their own AI. One person provides Blender on their computer; the other gives tasks to their own AI — ChatGPT, Claude, Codex or another — from any device. Access to the computer opens only with its owner's consent.

When it helps

Client and designer. The client asks for "warmer lighting" in their own chat, and the scene changes in the designer's Blender.
Teacher and student. The student works in the teacher's Blender and watches the AI build the scene.
A colleague's powerful computer. You don't need a Blender computer of your own: you work in your colleague's Blender.
A team, one at a time. A session joins the owner and one invited person; team members can take turns.

How to start

Both people sign in to Blender Bridge with accounts that have a confirmed email and active access.
In the Blender Bridge app, open Settings → Collaboration and choose your role for this session:
• Receive commands in Blender — you provide your computer, and the invited person's AI runs commands in your Blender;
• AI control — you ask for access to someone else's Blender and work in it through your own AI; you don't need a Blender computer of your own.
Invite the person by their Blender Bridge account email or from your friends list. If you don't have a Blender computer of your own, invite them right from the chat: ask the AI to send the invitation.
The other person sees their role and accepts in the app or the plugin. If they accept the Receive commands in Blender role, they choose which of their computers to provide. With MCP, they can ask the AI to find and accept the invitation.
After acceptance, the person in control chooses the shared computer in the plugin or asks the AI to select it. Blender Bridge and Blender must be running on that computer.

Roles and boundaries

Roles apply to this session only. The invitation shows who provides Blender and who works in it, and it is accepted once.
Friends are contacts, not access. Being friends in Blender Bridge doesn't open your Blender; only an accepted invitation does.
An invitation has a time limit. Accept it before it expires. Once accepted, the session continues until either person ends it.
Either side can end the session at any time.
The scene stays with the owner. Everything is built and stored in their Blender, on their computer.

How the other person connects their AI

Working in someone else's Blender goes through the Blender Bridge server, so the other person connects their AI in one of two ways:

ChatGPT or Claude — by connecting to the Blender Bridge server address, on any device;
Codex, Claude Code, Cursor and other apps — through Blender Bridge MCP.

AI for game development: build 3D assets in Blender

Blender Bridge connects ChatGPT, Claude, Codex or Qwen Code to Blender. Describe a game prop or a level layout, and your AI can build the geometry, add materials and prepare an export for your engine. Start with a treasure chest, a modular corridor or a blockout to test scale. Refine the scene in chat or by hand.

Props and level blockouts

Give the AI the asset's purpose, style and dimensions. That might be a two-meter door, a chest for a mobile game or a set of wall modules that need to fit together. For a level, describe the rooms, routes and major objects. Check the layout with simple geometry first, then ask for details and materials. The AI chooses a suitable polygon count, UV unwrapping and texture baking itself; just name the style, dimensions and engine.

The AI works in a regular Blender scene. Ask it to save a .blend file so you can return to the models and keep developing your assets after exporting them.

Four prompts for your project

"Make a low-poly treasure chest for Unity. Keep it under 2,000 triangles and one meter wide."
"Block out an Unreal Engine level with a courtyard, two entrances and stairs to a balcony. Use meters."
"Build modular corridor walls and corners for Godot on a two-meter grid. Keep each piece as a separate object."
"Create a crate and a lamp for Roblox. Prepare an FBX for Roblox Studio, choose settings for the object and explain how to keep its size and orientation on import."

These are example briefs. Adjust the dimensions, triangle budget and object list to suit your game.

The workflow

You install the Blender Bridge app and connect your AI once. From then on, you create and change the scene in plain words in the chat — no code required.

Connect your AI. To start a trial, verify your email and activate it, or sign in with an active subscription.
Specify the engine, dimensions and style. Start with one asset or a simple layout.
Ask the AI for a scene screenshot. Check the silhouette, proportions and placement of details.
Refine it in chat: "widen the passage," "use fewer details" or "split the walls into modules."
Ask it to save the .blend file and export the objects you need. Open the export in your engine.

Blender Bridge saves checkpoints of the AI's work. Return to an available checkpoint to try a different version of an asset or layout.

Formats, axes and scale

Destination	What to request	What to check after importing
Unity	Unity FBX: Y up, −Z forward	Size next to your player character, materials and animation
Unreal Engine	Unreal FBX: Z up, −Y forward	Size in the level, orientation, materials and animation
Godot	Godot GLB	Size, object placement and materials
Roblox Studio	FBX for Roblox Studio — the AI chooses settings for the object	Size and orientation in Studio's import preview

The Unity, Unreal Engine and Godot export presets account for scene scale, set the axes and report units, file size and warnings. Procedural materials may need baking before export. For Roblox, the AI prepares an FBX with settings for your object and explains how to import it into Studio.

Where the files go

Exports are saved in your project folder. When connected through the server, ask for a download link in the chat, then import the file into Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot or Roblox Studio. Keep the saved .blend file as the source for further changes.

AI product visualization in Blender

Blender Bridge lets you create product images in Blender with ChatGPT, Claude, Codex or Qwen Code. Describe the product, materials and look you want, and your AI can build the scene and set up lighting and cameras. Use the same scene for wide shots, close-ups and different angles for your store or campaign.

One scene, a series of images

Open a ready-made product model in Blender, or attach product photos in your AI chat and give the dimensions — the AI builds the model from the description and photos. Name the colors, finishes and details that need to appear in the shot, and attach the label artwork if the label should be visible. Studio backdrops, soft lighting, reflections and cameras are available for product shots. Change the background, material or angle in chat while keeping the same model for your next image.

A photo provides a reference for shape and proportions. Ask the AI to place it behind the camera and prepare a side-by-side image of the reference photo and the render.

Four prompts for a catalog or campaign

"Create a simple bottle from this photo, 12 cm tall. Put it on a light studio backdrop with soft lighting and save a PNG."
"Render five views of this chair: front, side, back, three-quarter and a close-up of the fabric. Save them as PNG."
"Render these headphones on a transparent background as a 2000 × 2000 PNG with an alpha channel."
"Create an ad image of this watch on a dark background: a close-up of the case, metallic highlights and space for a headline."

Include your platform's requirements: image dimensions, aspect ratio, background and margins.

The workflow

You install the Blender Bridge app and connect your AI once. From then on, you create and change the scene in plain words in the chat — no code required.

Connect your AI and open Blender with your model, or describe the product.
Supply photos and dimensions if you are starting from scratch. Specify the materials and camera angle.
Ask for a small preview render. Check the shape, color, reflections and visibility of key details.
Refine it in chat: "softer light," "lower the camera" or "turn the label toward the camera."
Once you choose the look, request the final images and ask the AI to save the scene as .blend.

The AI can inspect scene screenshots and refine its work. For judging lighting and materials, request a preview render as well as checking the geometry.

Transparent backgrounds and multiple views

For a product listing, ask the AI to save the product as a PNG on a transparent background, hide the studio backdrop and check the transparency of the finished file.

Request multiple cameras or camera positions to produce a series, with each image saved separately. Lighting and materials can stay consistent across the set. For a long render, ask for background rendering: a copy of the scene renders in a separate Blender process while the main Blender remains responsive. You can follow progress and stop that background render.

Where the files go

PNG images are saved in your project folder. When connected through the server, request download links in the chat. Use the images in product listings, on your website or in ads, or send them to your designer. A saved .blend scene lets you return to the product and create another set of images.

For animated advertising, see motion design. Also explore rendering, building 3D models and model exports.

AI interiors and architectural visualization

Blender Bridge connects ChatGPT, Claude, Codex or Qwen Code to Blender so you can build a space from dimensions, furnish it and explore lighting and finishes. Describe a room or building, then refine the scene in chat: change the layout, materials and camera angles for your presentation.

From dimensions to a view of the space

Start with room dimensions, ceiling height, windows and doors. The AI can use that description to build walls, openings and the main furniture shapes. For architecture, specify the building's size, floors and surroundings. The layout is a Blender scene: move objects by hand or ask the AI to try another arrangement.

Next, describe the lighting and finishes: daylight through a window, evening lamps, wood, stone or fabric. The AI picks models and skies from Poly Haven, and textures from Poly Haven and ambientCG.

Four prompts for designers and architects

"Build a 5 × 4 meter living room with a 2.8 meter ceiling. Put the window on the right and the sofa opposite the TV wall."
"Build a two-story 10 × 12 meter house with a flat roof and floor-to-ceiling windows, with a lawn and a path around it. Shoot it from a corner of the lot at sunset."
"Set up daylight so a patch of sun falls on the table. Make a small preview render."
"Build a scene from this room photo, match the camera angle and show the photo beside a render. The room is four meters wide."

Include furniture, camera height, time of day and the number of images you need.

The workflow

You install the Blender Bridge app and connect your AI once. From then on, you create and change the scene in plain words in the chat — no code required.

Connect your AI, open Blender and supply dimensions, a description or photos.
Ask for a simple layout first. Check the windows, circulation space and furniture placement.
Choose a layout and add materials, lighting and cameras for the views you need.
Request a small render. Check furniture proportions, wall verticals, lighting and finish colors.
Refine the scene, then request the final images and ask the AI to save the project as .blend.

For long renders, ask for background rendering: a copy of the scene renders in a separate Blender process while the main Blender stays responsive. You can follow progress and stop the render from chat.

Working from a photo

A photo helps establish the room's character, arrangement and proportions. Supply known dimensions separately so the AI has a scale reference when building the scene. The photo can sit behind the camera for comparison with the scene. After a preview render, ask for a side-by-side image of the photo and render, then point out differences to refine.

The AI adjusts the camera angle and perspective as it develops the scene. Requests such as "move the window left" or "keep the camera fixed and change only the materials" make variants easier to compare. See working from reference photos.

Where the files go

Use PNG renders in client presentations, your portfolio or your website. Ask the AI to save a .blend file to keep the objects, materials, lights and cameras available for further work in Blender. With a server connection, request the files as downloads in chat.

For a 3D view on a website, ask for a GLB model export. The exporter accounts for scene scale and reports file size and material warnings. Open the result in your chosen viewer.

AI for 3D printing: from a Blender model to STL

Blender Bridge connects ChatGPT, Claude, Codex or Qwen Code to Blender so you can describe a stand, enclosure or decorative object in plain language and specify its dimensions. Your AI can build the model, refine its shape from your instructions and export STL with coordinates in millimeters.

Start with dimensions and purpose

Specify width, height, depth and hole sizes. For a part that fits another component, include the component's dimensions and the clearances you want. For a hollow object, specify wall thickness. These values are part of your modeling brief; check them before exporting.

Ask the AI to save the source scene as .blend separately from the STL. You can then change the shape or dimensions in Blender and export another version under a new filename.

Four prompts for makers

"Make an 80 mm wide phone stand with a cable channel. Show the dimensions before exporting."
"Create a 100 × 60 × 30 mm enclosure with 2 mm walls and a removable lid. Use 0.4 mm clearances."
"Check this Blender model for holes and breaks in the surface. Explain what needs fixing before STL export."
"Export the selected model as STL in millimeters. Use a new filename and report the units and file size."

The dimensions and clearances in these examples are design inputs. Choose values for your part and printing process.

The workflow

You install the Blender Bridge app and connect your AI once. From then on, you create and change the scene in plain words in the chat — no code required.

Connect your AI, open Blender and describe the object with its dimensions.
Ask for the main shape first, then holes, bevels, walls and other details.
Check the dimensions in the scene. Ask for screenshots from different angles and an explanation of the model.
Ask the AI to check the model: "Measure the overall size and clearances, check that it's watertight and free of intersections, list the checks you ran and show the areas that need fixing." Compare with the checklist below.
Save the .blend file and request STL in millimeters. Open the STL in your slicer and check its size and layers.

To return to an earlier shape, use an available checkpoint of the AI's work.

What to check before slicing

Check	What to inspect
Dimensions	Width, height, depth and hole diameters match your brief
Watertightness	The surface encloses a volume without unintended holes or gaps
Geometry	No unwanted internal faces or intersections; face orientation is consistent
Walls and small features	Thickness suits your material and printing process
Clearances	Mating part dimensions and the spaces between them match your design

Review the model separately before printing. Once you open the STL in your slicer, check its size, orientation, supports and layer preview using your printer's settings.

What STL export does

The 3D printing export preset accounts for the scene's unit scale and writes coordinates in millimeters. The report includes units, file size and a reminder to check watertightness and slicer units. STL stores neither unit labels nor materials: open it in your slicer and compare the dimensions in millimeters with your brief — for example, the stand should still be 80 mm wide. Each export saves a new STL, and the source model stays in Blender for your next changes.

Where the files go

The STL is saved in your project folder. With a server connection, ask for a download link in chat, download the file and open it in your slicer. Choose print settings in the slicer. Keep the saved .blend file as the source for your next revision.

AI motion design in Blender

Create short 3D clips, product orbits and text animation with ChatGPT, Claude, Codex or Qwen Code — describe the motion in words and refine the scene in chat. Blender Bridge connects your AI to your Blender: it animates objects, sets up the camera and renders the video.

From a still to a moving shot

For a product clip, start with the subject, composition, materials and lighting. Once you choose the look, add movement: turn the object, orbit the camera, move in toward a detail or introduce text. The AI can work with Blender's keyframes and animation curves. Ask for constant speed, gradual acceleration and deceleration, or distinct stages of an action.

Set the duration, frame rate and format, such as a vertical social video or a horizontal shot for your website. If you need repeating animation, explicitly ask for a loop.

Four prompts for a clip

"Create a simple bottle on a dark background and make an eight-second camera orbit at 30 frames per second."
"Animate this box opening: raise the lid, then slowly move the camera toward the object inside."
"Make a 1080 × 1920 vertical clip: rotate the product against a dark background, then reveal its name at the end."
"Run a background render of the selected frame range to MP4. Report progress, save the finished video and show me where to get the file."

For the last prompt, specify the frame range or ask to use the scene's range.

The workflow

You install the Blender Bridge app and connect your AI once. From then on, you create and change the scene in plain words in the chat — no code required.

Connect your AI, open a scene or describe the subject and shot.
Ask it to set up lighting and a camera, then add movement with the duration you want.
Review the animation in Blender. Ask for screenshots of key moments or a short preview render.
Refine the speed, path, focus and framing. For a loop, check the transition from the end back to the start.
Ask it to save the .blend file and run a background render of the final range in your chosen format.

Blender Bridge saves checkpoints of the AI's work. Return to an available checkpoint to try a different version of the movement.

Background video rendering

Explicitly request Blender Bridge background rendering. It starts a copy of the scene in a separate Blender process. The main Blender stays responsive, progress is available, and you can stop the render from chat. That render uses the launch-time scene copy. Later edits to the open scene belong to your next version.

Before rendering the full clip, test a short range with the same lighting, materials and resolution. Request an MP4 video or an image sequence for editing elsewhere. Ask for the completed video file after rendering finishes.

Where the files go

The video or image frames are saved in your project folder. With a server connection, download the completed result from chat for use in your film, on your website or on social media. The saved .blend scene keeps the objects, cameras and animation available for your next revision.

Blender Bridge MCP connects to Codex, Claude Code, Qwen Code, Kimi Code and other MCP clients. Use a server connection for ChatGPT and Claude. The browser extension works with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and DeepSeek on the computer running Blender.

Explore animation, rendering, product visualization and model exports.

Learn Blender with AI through your own project

With Blender Bridge, you can start learning Blender through your own project, even if you have never opened Blender before. ChatGPT, Claude, Codex or Qwen Code can create a scene from your request. Ask it to explain the objects, materials, lighting and animation, then explore them directly in Blender.

Start with something you want to make

Choose a small project without waiting to learn every part of Blender: a desk lamp, a room, a game prop or a short model rotation. Describe the result you want and how you plan to use it. Ask the AI to start with the main shape, show it to you and explain the next step.

You get a regular Blender scene. Select an object, inspect its materials and modifiers, move the camera or continue in chat. The AI creates the scene through Blender's Python API, so you can also ask it to explain the code used for an operation.

Four prompts for your first project

"I've never used Blender. Create a simple desk lamp and explain which objects make it up."
"Show me where this model's material is. Make it red and explain which setting changed."
"Add a camera and one light. Explain how they affect the image, then make a preview render."
"Animate this model rotating over four seconds. Explain the keyframes and save the scene as .blend."

Add instructions such as "use plain language," "work one stage at a time" or "show me where this is in Blender."

Getting started

Download Blender Bridge for Windows 10 or 11 and install it. If you don't have Blender yet, click Download Blender during first-run setup, install it (4.2 or later) and come back to choose it.
Create an account, verify your email and activate the trial, or sign in with an active subscription.
In the app's first-run setup, choose Blender and a project folder, then finish installing the Blender Bridge extension in Blender.
Connect your AI, open Blender and describe your first project.

Which way to start:

you use ChatGPT or Claude — connect them by server address: plugin for ChatGPT and Claude;
you work in Codex, Claude Code or Qwen Code — connect Blender Bridge MCP;
you prefer a chat on a website — Gemini, DeepSeek and others connect through the browser extension.

Learn as you work

Ask the AI to alternate between doing and explaining: "make the shape, then explain why that modifier helps." It can request a scene screenshot to inspect the result and refine it. Change one setting at a time and compare: "move the light farther away," "raise the camera" or "make the material less glossy." The explanation relates to an object you can already see in your project.

Blender Bridge saves checkpoints of the AI's work. Ask for the available checkpoints and return to one when you want to try a different approach.

Save the scene and explore how it works

The scene is open in Blender. To keep a file, ask the AI to save it as .blend. Open that file again to explore its objects, materials, cameras and animation. For an image, request a PNG render. To use a model in another application, ask for an export in the required format. Files are saved in your project folder. With a server connection, you can request downloads in chat.

Choose one result for your first project. Then explore building 3D models, animation or exporting.

Install Blender Bridge

Install the app on your Blender computer, sign in to your account and connect your AI. The app installs the Blender Bridge extension inside Blender for you, and through the plugin or Blender Bridge MCP your AI can open Blender and pick the right version by itself.

What you need

Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. macOS and Linux versions are in development.
Blender 4.2 or later — free from blender.org. If you have several Blender versions, the app lists them and you choose one.
Your AI: ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, Cursor, Qwen Code or another.

Steps

Download the installer from blenderbridge.ru and run it. If Windows shows "Windows protected your PC", click "More info" and then "Run anyway".
Create an account or sign in. Sign-in opens in your browser. New accounts: confirm your email and start your 7-day free trial, no card required. Already subscribed? Just sign in.
Complete the first run. The app asks you to pick your Blender and a project folder for scenes, renders and models, then installs the Blender Bridge extension in that Blender. If Blender is already open without the extension, the app offers to drag the installation icon into its window or restart Blender with the extension.
Connect your AI. In the connection window, choose a way: the plugin or a server-address connection for ChatGPT and Claude, Blender Bridge MCP for AI apps and code editors, or the browser extension for AI websites. Step by step for every app: How to connect AI to Blender.
Ask for something. For example: "Put a cube in the middle of the scene and make it blue." The cube appears in your Blender.

What gets installed

The Blender Bridge app — keeps the connection between your AI and Blender, shows its status and keeps the checkpoints.
Blender Bridge MCP — ships inside the app with everything it needs to run, so there is nothing else to install.
The Blender Bridge extension for Blender — installed by the app on first run; through the plugin or MCP, your AI can install it too.

The browser extension is installed separately from the Chrome Web Store if you choose that way.

Updates

The app and Blender Bridge MCP update themselves through signed releases: when an update is ready, choose "Restart and update". The app updates the Blender Bridge extension in Blender. The browser extension updates through the Chrome Web Store.

Frequently asked questions

Short answers: can AI create 3D models in Blender, is it free, do you need Blender installed, does it work in a browser or on a phone, which AI works, is it secure.

Can AI create 3D models in Blender?

Yes. With Blender Bridge, your AI builds models and whole scenes right in your Blender: geometry, materials, lights, cameras, animation. It checks the result in scene screenshots and refines it. More in What AI can do in Blender.

Is it free?

The first 7 days are free, with full access and no card required. After that, a 1, 3, 6 or 12-month subscription. Blender itself is always free. More in Free trial and plans.

Which AI works with it?

Chats by server address: ChatGPT, Claude, Mistral Le Chat, Perplexity, Gemini.
Apps with Blender Bridge MCP: Codex, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code with GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity, Qwen Code, Kimi Code, Trae, Cherry Studio, CodeBuddy, Tongyi Lingma, LM Studio and more. DeepSeek, GLM, Qwen and Kimi models work inside them too.
Websites through the browser extension: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek and other AI chats.

Do I need Blender installed?

Yes, Blender 4.2 or later on a Windows computer. The AI builds the scene in it: a regular Blender scene you can save, open and keep working on. Blender is free, and the app installs the Blender Bridge extension in it.

Can I use Blender in a browser or on my phone?

Yes. Blender stays on your computer, and you work with it from ChatGPT or Claude on a laptop, tablet or phone through a connection to the Blender Bridge server. More in Blender from any device.

Do I need to know Blender?

Not to get started: describe the task in words. And if you do know Blender, the AI takes the routine off your hands: layout, lighting, materials, camera moves, export.

Can I export to Unity, Unreal Engine or Godot?

Yes. The AI exports FBX for Unity and Unreal Engine, GLB for Godot and the web, USDZ for AR, and STL in millimeters for 3D printing. Export respects the scene scale, sets the axes and reports units, file size and material warnings. More in Export.

What if the AI gets it wrong?

Return the scene to the checkpoint you need: Blender Bridge saves the AI's steps, and the return itself can be undone. Then refine the request.

Can two people work together?

Yes. Invite someone by their Blender Bridge account email, and they work in your Blender through their own AI. Commands reach your computer only after you agree.

Is it secure?

Blender accepts commands only from the Blender Bridge app on the same computer, and every command needs a signed access grant tied to your account. Usage statistics contain none of your prompts, AI conversations, code, scenes or images. More in Security and privacy.

Do I need the internet?

Yes, for signing in to Blender Bridge and for cloud AI. You can use a local model through LM Studio. The connection between the Blender Bridge app and Blender stays inside your computer.

Is there a version for Mac or Linux?

Blender Bridge runs on Windows 10 and 11 today. macOS and Linux versions are in development.

What happens to my scenes after the subscription?

They stay yours: saved .blend scenes, renders and models are regular files on your computer.

Troubleshooting

The fastest fix is to ask your AI to check its connection to Blender. Blender Bridge reports exactly what is missing: the app not running, Blender closed, the Blender Bridge extension not installed, or no sign-in. Through the plugin or Blender Bridge MCP, the AI can open Blender, install the extension and restart Blender by itself.

The AI can't see Blender

Make sure the Blender Bridge app is running on your Blender computer.
Ask the AI to check its connection to Blender and follow what it suggests.
If you work from another device, ask the AI to list your computers and choose one. The computer must be on.
Check that your free trial or subscription is active; you can see it in the app and in your account.

An MCP app can't see Blender Bridge

Copy the setup instruction or the MCP configuration from the Blender Bridge app again. Don't type paths by hand: the app fills them in for you.
Give the instruction to the agent or add the configuration to your app's MCP settings — step by step in How to connect AI to Blender.
Enable the server and refresh the tool list; restart the app if it asks you to.
Approve the sign-in or permission prompt if one appears.

The plugin or connector can't find your computer

For your own computer, sign in to the chat with the same Blender Bridge account as in the app. For someone else's, accept their collaboration invitation.
Check that the Blender Bridge app is running on that computer.
Ask the AI to refresh the list of your computers. If the chat asks you to sign in again, do it and refresh the list once more.

The extension button doesn't appear on an AI website

Reload the chat page.
Open Blender Bridge from the extension icon in the browser toolbar and check "Get started": sign-in, the pairing key (in the app: Settings → Connection methods → Browser extension) and that the app is running on the same computer.
Go back to the chat and run Auto Setup from the Blender Bridge button.

Windows shows a warning during installation

If "Windows protected your PC" appears for the installer from the official website, click "More info" and then "Run anyway". If there is no such button or the message is different, send it to support.

The AI got it wrong

Return the scene to the checkpoint you need: Blender Bridge saves the AI's steps, and the return itself can be undone. Then refine the request: name the object, size, position and mood.

A long operation doesn't finish

A Blender Bridge background render stops right from the chat: ask the AI to stop it. For any other long command, ask the AI to check its status; if the operation supports stopping, the AI cancels it.

Still stuck

Write to support@blenderbridge.com: what you did and what happened. If the app showed an error code, include it.

Security and privacy

Blender Bridge is built so that your Blender takes commands only from your account and the people you let in. Every command is checked against your account's access, and another person reaches your Blender only with your consent. Usage statistics contain none of your prompts, AI conversations, code, scenes or images. Here is how it works.

Who can send commands to Blender

Only the Blender Bridge app on the same computer. Blender accepts commands on the computer's internal address (127.0.0.1) and is not open to the network.
Only with signed access. Every command that runs in Blender needs a valid signed access grant tied to your account and subscription. Without a sign-in, commands don't run.
The browser extension also needs your pairing key. Your Blender Bridge app issues it, and without it the extension can't work with your Blender.

Working from another device and together

Commands through the Blender Bridge server. With the plugin or the server-address connection, the server passes commands to the computer you chose, from any device. The scene is built and stored in your Blender.
You decide who sees your computers. The chat sees the computers linked to your account and the ones someone has shared with you.
Owner consent. In a shared session, the other person's commands reach a computer only after its owner agrees. Either side can end the session.

What usage statistics contain

Usage statistics contain only technical events, such as a command finishing or failing. They never contain:

your prompts and AI conversations;
the code the AI writes;
scenes, models, images or file names;
operation names.

Files you download from the chat. When you request a render, model or scene for download in the chat, the file passes through the Blender Bridge server. The signed link is valid for 24 hours from upload. Anyone who receives the link can download the file without a separate sign-in. Ending a collaboration session does not revoke a link already issued. After expiry the link no longer works; deletion of the server copy is a separate cleanup step and may occur later.

Your files

Saved scenes, renders and models are regular files on your computer, in your project folder. They stay yours after your subscription ends. Blender Bridge's file tools keep existing results by default: export never overwrites a file, and saving over one takes an explicit request. The AI's instructions tell it to ask before changing work you didn't mention.

Updates

The app and Blender Bridge MCP update through signed releases: the app checks the update's signature before installing it. The browser extension updates through the Chrome Web Store.

What's new

Blender Bridge 1.1 is a big update: work in your own Blender from a laptop or phone, a Blender Bridge panel in ChatGPT and Claude, checkpoints and undo, background renders, free assets and collaboration.

Blender Bridge 1.1 — October 12, 2026

A big update: work in your own Blender from any device, see the scene right in the chat and easily undo the AI's missteps.

Blender from any device. ChatGPT, Claude and other chats connect to the Blender Bridge server, so you can work with your Blender from a laptop or a phone. Download scenes, renders and models right from the chat. More.
A Blender Bridge panel in the chat. In chats that support app panels, the plugin shows the scene view, checkpoints, project files and render progress beside the conversation. More.
Your AI knows Blender better. It checks the Blender API reference and manual and finds free models and HDRI environments from Poly Haven, and textures from Poly Haven and ambientCG. More.
Easy undo. Blender Bridge saves the AI's steps as checkpoints: return the scene to the one you need, and undo the return too, until you keep working. More.
Collaboration. One person provides their Blender, the other works in it through their own AI; roles are chosen in the invitation, and access opens only with the owner's consent. More.
Your AI gets Blender ready. Ask, and it opens Blender, picks the right version, installs the Blender Bridge extension and restarts Blender.
Renders don't get in the way. A background render runs in a separate Blender: your Blender stays responsive, you see the progress and can stop the render. More.
The updated browser extension. MCP tools are built into the extension, so the AI on a website works almost as it does through MCP, and you can return to checkpoints from there too. More.
The Blender Bridge extension in Blender creates scene checkpoints and restores them. The app installs and updates it in the Blender 4.2+ extension format.

The app and Blender Bridge MCP update themselves through signed releases; the browser extension updates through the Chrome Web Store.

Next step: connect ChatGPT, Claude or Codex to Blender.
