Z-Image-Engineer-Blender

Blender 3D expert model fine-tuned from Qwen2.5-Coder-3B on real production interaction data.

Part of the Eternal Path Media (永恒之路) Llammy AI Suite for Blender. Developed in partnership with Claude Sonnet (Anthropic) — see Attribution.

What This Model Does

Z-Image-Engineer-Blender is a specialized AI assistant for Blender 3D workflows. It provides expert guidance on:

Materials & Shaders — Principled BSDF, node setups, procedural textures
Geometry Nodes — Procedural workflows, instancing, point clouds
Python Scripting — bpy automation, batch operations, custom operators
Rendering — Cycles and EEVEE configuration, compositing
Modeling & Sculpting — Topology, retopology, sculpt brushes
Animation & Rigging — Armatures, constraints, shape keys
Version compatibility — Blender 2.79 through 5.2+

The model is prompt-engineered toward detailed, practical answers with working code examples.

Training Data

Source: 2,759 Blender-specific prompt/response pairs drawn from 19,405+ real user interactions with the Llammy Blender addon in production.

This is real-world data from creators actively using Blender — not synthetic or scraped. Topics span the full Blender workflow from beginner questions to advanced Python scripting.

Research foundation:

SceneCraft (arXiv:2403.01248) — LLM-driven Blender Python scene generation
BlenderFusion (arXiv:2506.17450) — 3D-grounded generative compositing in Blender
SCoder (arXiv:2509.07858) — Self-distillation methodology for code LLMs

Usage

Ollama (recommended)

ollama run bartendr604/z-image-engineer-blender

Example prompts

How do I create a procedural wood material in Blender using nodes?
