Blender for AI Agents

Creating 3D is hard. LLMs seem to be getting better at tool use and spatial understanding. While MCPs have proved to be a good way to use these tools- the current methods have these challenges: - Access to scene graph and core C modules of Blender - Lack of parallelism, only way is to run blender headless - Lack of deterministic and fast verification layer - Inference stack- only way to use inference is to hook another MCP We're building Mixar, think Cursor for 3D. One access point to all generative inference, an agent to build scenes/blockouts, do boring stuff like UVs and export…

Blender for AI Agents launched on August 4, 2026 with 6 votes, #1,590 of 23,274 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.

What it does

Mixar is an open-source 3D editor built on Blender with AI agents inside. Automate retopology, UVs, baking and export prep, and bring your own models.

  • MCP server for Blender that builds 3D scenes via natural language2025 · blender-mcp-psi.vercel.app · ▲151

    Hi HN! I built a custom MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects Blender to LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, and any other llm supporting tool calling and mcps, enabling the AI to understand and control 3D scenes using natural language. You can describe an entire environment like: > “Create a small village with 5 huts arranged around a central bonfire, add a river flowing on the left, place a wooden bridge across it, and scatter trees randomly.” And the system parses that, reasons about the scene, and builds it inside Blender — no manual modeling or scripting needed. What it can do: -…

    Hi HN, Luigi here. We maintain mcp-use an open-source TypeScript framework for building MCP servers and MCP Apps: https://github.com/mcp-use/mcp-use MCP is now (finally) stateless so we rewrote mcp-use v2 from scratch for the 2026-07-28 MCP spec revision: https://blog.modelcontextprotocol.io/posts/2026-07-28/ Thanks to the rebuild: - Throughput: +27% → from 8,615 to 10,982 median ops/sec - Cold launch: 2.2x faster → from 151.6 ms to 68.1 ms - Clean install: 82% smaller → from 404.6 MiB to 74.4 MiB Benchmark with methodology here:…

  • Figma-use – CLI to control Figma for AI agentsJan 2026 · github.com · ▲115

    I'm Dan, and I built a CLI that lets AI agents design in Figma. What it does: 100 commands to create shapes, text, frames, components, modify styles, export assets. JSX importing that's ~100x faster than any plugin API import. Works with any LLM coding assistant. Why I built it: The official Figma MCP server can only read files. I wanted AI to actually design — create buttons, build layouts, generate entire component systems. Existing solutions were either read-only or required verbose JSON schemas that burn through tokens.

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
