AI Builds a Full 3D Car in Blender From Two Reference Images, Shaders and Animations Included
LinusEkenstam · x · 2026-09-13
Linus Ekenstam shows how an AI assistant called Astra modeled the "Amble One," a lightweight offroad vehicle, in Blender from just a couple of reference images on the Amble website.
Beyond the full model, the AI generated all material shaders plus spring suspension animations, steering wheel, wheels, lights, turn signals, and brake lights. He then turned it into a dune buggy — a striking demo of end-to-end AI-driven 3D modeling and animation workflows.
