Fan builds 27K-piece Project Hail Mary model purely with Codex-written Blender Python
yizhu59 · x · 2026-11-03
A Project Hail Mary fan built a 27,000-piece model with 5-level depth decomposition entirely via Blender Python scripts, using about half a week of Codex usage — no manual modeling, treating 3D assets as code (#3DAsCode).
The author notes results will improve further with more tokens, demonstrating a reusable approach: drive Blender procedurally with a coding agent, decomposing structure hierarchically and generating geometry in bulk.
