 "title": "Create a 3D model from a reference picture",
 "page_title": "How to create a 3D model from a reference picture with Blender AI Addon",
 "summary": "Attach a photo or a viewport screenshot so the agent builds a matching model in Blender.",
 "who": "A 3D artist or prop maker who has a reference image and wants a rough blockout to start from.",
 "problem": "Turning a reference picture into a first blockout in Blender is slow when every shape must be placed by hand.",
 "outcome": "A blockout model in the viewport that roughly follows the attached reference image, ready for refinement.",
 "steps": [
  "Complete the add-on install and start the OpenCode server as described in the README.",
  "In AI Settings, select a vision-capable model such as gpt-4o, claude-sonnet-4, or llava.",
  "Attach the reference image file, or take a screenshot of the viewport and attach it.",
  "Write a short request such as: create a blockout that matches the attached image, and click Send.",
  "Review the generated object and send a follow-up message to correct proportions or details."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the hitkeeen/blender-ai-addon AI Copilot chat, attach <reference image path> and ask the agent to build a blockout model matching it. Expected output: a Python script that creates objects in the scene resembling the reference. Verify that the chosen model is vision-capable and that the add-on reports a successful run.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "45 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README says image input needs a vision model such as gpt-4o, claude-*, or llava, and a text-only model will not work for this step.",

  "An API key for OpenAI, OpenRouter, Anthropic, Groq, or DeepSeek, or a local Ollama install"
