Early GPT 6 Astra 3D modeling tests impress less than claimed, user reports prompt-following quirks
onusoz · x · 2026-09-07
A user shared first-hand experience using GPT 6 Astra for 3D modeling, saying results are OK but not the mind-blowing one-shot quality some OpenAI employees and early accessers have posted.
- Prompted Blender to create a cinematic ISS orbiting Earth tour (interiors, cross-sections, modules, crew, docking shuttles).
- The model put the output on a website even when explicitly told in a fresh session to use only Blender — a prompt-following quirk.
- The author suspects better showcased runs rely on Blender MCP or other external workflows rather than raw model capability.
Replies suggest simple prompt tweaks like making Earth more realistic, though the commenter admits no 3D experience.
