Credentials. The provider API key is entered into the add-on settings, so keep the key limited to this use and do not share the Blender file that stores it.
Remote script. The generated Python code runs automatically in your scene, so check the result and save the .blend file before trying a new prompt.
Who it is forA Blender user who wants a starting object or simple scene fast and does not want to script it by hand.
The problemBuilding simple geometry in Blender by hand takes time, and writing bpy code requires Python knowledge.
The outcomeA working object or scene appears in the Blender viewport, generated from a text description and run by the add-on.
What you need first
- Blender with add-on installation (Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Install)
- The add-on zip downloaded from the project's Releases page
- Internet access for the one-time OpenCode download (about 80 MB)
- An API key for OpenAI, OpenRouter, Anthropic, Groq, or DeepSeek, or a local Ollama install
Steps
- Download the add-on zip from the Releases page and install it via Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Install.
- Open the sidebar with N, go to the AI Copilot tab, and click Install OpenCode. Wait for the progress bar to finish.
- In AI Settings, choose a provider, paste the API key, and enter a model name such as gpt-4o.
- Click Start Server and wait for the status to show OpenCode ready.
- Type a description of the object, for example a simple table with four legs, and click Send.
Prompt for your agent
Using the Blender add-on in hitkeeen/blender-ai-addon, send the text prompt <describe the target object> through the AI Copilot chat and confirm the returned Python script runs in the scene. Expected output: a new object in the viewport matching the description. Verify that the add-on reported a successful run and no error log was produced.
Caveat. The README links to the BlenderGPT3D organization while this repo is under hitkeeen, so confirm you are installing the intended add-on zip before using it.
