## AI overview

The article presents a .blend URL Viewer built from an existing Blender viewing experiment. It describes using ChatGPT Images 2.5 to generate a Pluribus-themed Fabergé egg image, then using Codex running GPT-6 Astra to create Blender model files that can be viewed in a browser.

## Source excerpt

Tool: .blend URL Viewer I'm continuing to have a lot of fun with GPT-6 Astra and Blender (see my TIL). As a big fan of the Imperial Fabergé Easter eggs, I've always thought it would be fun to make some new ones that celebrate popular culture. Yesterday I decided to try out the new ChatGPT Images 2.5 by running this prompt: Generate a photo of a faberge egg that's themed after the TV show Pluribus - research first It gave me this - honestly not bad for a first attempt! Then, just to see what would happen, I pasted that image into Codex running GPT-6 Astra (high) and prompted: Use your blender local skill to create a blender model of this faverge egg (Here's the skill file, which I created like this.) It churned away for 17m51s and built me several .blend files. I already had this vibe-coded Blender viewing experiment lying around, so I added that to my tools collection and now you can use it to see my Pluribus blender model in your browser: Tags: 3d, javascript, tools, ai, generative-ai, llms, blender, coding-agents, codex, gpt-6-astra
