Basic Information

MeshGen is a Blender add-on that uses AI agents to control Blender via natural language prompts, enabling users to generate and manipulate 3D meshes from text. It is packaged as a Blender addon ZIP that you install through Blender preferences. The project supports running language models locally or remotely and connects those models to Blender so prompts like "Create a snowman" result in mesh creation and editing operations. It is intended for Blender users who want to leverage generative AI to speed up modeling and exploration workflows. The README documents installation, backend selection, optional integrations for enhanced mesh understanding and high-fidelity generation, and basic usage such as opening the MeshGen sidebar, entering a prompt, and submitting it.

App Details

Features
MeshGen emphasizes AI as an assistive tool rather than a replacement. It supports multiple backend options: local inference using a GGUF model via a CUDA-enabled addon or an Ollama server, and remote inference via providers including Hugging Face, Anthropic, and OpenAI. The addon includes conveniences like a "Download Recommended Model" button for a suggested Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct GGUF file. Optional integrations include LLaMA-Mesh for local mesh understanding and generation and Hyper3D for high-fidelity mesh generation via API. The UI integrates into Blender as a sidebar panel accessible with the N key. The README also covers provider-specific setup steps, model ID configuration, and simple troubleshooting instructions for locating console errors.
Use Cases
MeshGen helps Blender users and 3D creators by turning natural language prompts into editable meshes inside Blender, reducing manual modeling time and enabling rapid ideation. It offers flexible deployment so users can run smaller models locally if they have an appropriate NVIDIA GPU or use cloud APIs for more powerful models. Optional LLaMA-Mesh adds local mesh understanding capabilities while Hyper3D can produce higher-fidelity meshes when enabled. Provider options and model selection let users balance cost, speed, and quality. The addon integrates into Blender workflows via a sidebar panel and simple prompt submission, and the README provides installation, backend setup, integration enabling, and troubleshooting guidance to help users get started and recover from environment issues.
