This AI changes EVERYTHING (ChatGPT x Blender)

Do you ever feel like you need an extra hand when working on Blender? Or perhaps wish you could take full advantage of technology to speed up your design process, tackle mundane tasks, or expand the creative possibilities? Well, that's where the power of AI and ChatGPT comes in.

In this blog post, we'll be exploring how the integration of ChatGPT with Blender not only improves your design workflow but also enhances the quality of your art. Get ready for a game-changing experience in your digital art journey!

Introducing: ChatGPT & Its Impact on Blender

GPT(ChatGPT) is a powerful AI that takes text generation to a whole new level. The recently released DPT chat is a simplified version that's making waves in the Blender community due to its ability to speed up your routine, improve your art, and even write Python scripts!

To benefit from this chatbot, all you need to do is register an account on chat.openai.com and get started right away. After signing up, you'll access a screen where you can input your prompts, and the AI will give you a mind-blowing output, making your design process easier and more efficient.

Curious to see how you can leverage this AI in Blender? Let's dive into three useful examples and see how DPT chat brings your ideas to life in seconds.

1. Scattering Objects Around Your Scene

Imagine you are working on a project, and you need to create 10 cubes and scatter them around your scene with a maximum distance of 10 units to the world origin. Rather than manually tweaking each object and spending minutes, if not hours, on this task, you can easily generate a Python script using ChatGPT to help you achieve that in a split second!

``` {.python}

import bpy

import random

for i in range(10):

bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_cube_add()

rand_loc = (

random.uniform(-10, 10),

random.uniform(-10, 10),

random.uniform(-10, 10)

)

bpy.context.active_object.location = rand_loc

```

With this script, you can quickly scatter objects in your scene, saving time and effort.

2. Creating Gradient Textures on Multiple Objects

Creating gradient textures can be a complicated process in Blender. To simplify this process, let's use ChatGPT to write a script that will apply a gradient texture to all selected objects in Blender:

``` {.python}

import bpy

def create_gradient_material():

mat = bpy.data.materials.new(name='Gradient_Material')

mat.use_nodes = True

nodes = mat.node_tree.nodes

# Remove default nodes

for node in nodes:

nodes.remove(node)

# Create new nodes

material_output = nodes.new('ShaderNodeOutputMaterial')

principled = nodes.new('ShaderNodeBsdfPrincipled')

color_ramp = nodes.new('ShaderNodeValToRGB')

generated = nodes.new('ShaderNodeTexCoord')

# Set up node connections

links = mat.node_tree.links

links.new(principled.outputs'BSDF'], material_output.inputs['Surface'])

links.new(color_ramp.outputs['Color'], principled.inputs['Base Color'])

links.new(generated.outputs['Generated'], color_ramp.inputs['Fac'])

return mat

Apply gradient material to selected objects

material = create_gradient_material()

for obj in bpy.context.selected_objects:

obj.data.materials.clear()

obj.data.materials.append(material)

```

Isn't it amazing how ChatGPT makes your life easier and speeds up your texturing process?

3. Generate a Landscape

You want to create a landscape scene in Blender, but you're not quite sure how to approach it. Fear not! ChatGPT can help you generate a Python script in no time:

``` {.python}

import bpy

bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_plane_add(size=20, enter_editmode=False, align='WORLD', location=(0, 0, 0), scale=(1, 1, 1))

bpy.ops.object.modifier_add(type='SUBDIVIDE')

bpy.context.object.modifiers["Subdivision"].subdivision_type = 'SIMPLE'

bpy.context.object.modifiers["Subdivision"].levels = 8

bpy.ops.object.modifier_apply({"object": bpy.context.active_object}, modifier="Subdivision")

bpy.ops.object.shade_smooth()

bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode="EDIT")

bpy.ops.mesh.select_all(action='SELECT')

bpy.ops.mesh.vert_tool('INVOKE_DEFAULT', tool=2, merge_tool=2)

bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode="OBJECT")

```

This script will create a plane, subdivide it, apply modifiers, and smooth the shading. You'll have a solid base for your landscape in no time.
