Claude vs Chatgpt with blender coding for Geoodes.

7d • 💭General discussion

I tried Claude and Chatgpt for Blender.

My aim is to produce 100% photorealistic still images with Blender + Photoshop.

In order to do this I asked Chatgpt to give me a script that will work inside the open File-01.blend that will:

1) Add a medium res cylinder C

2) Add new empty GN to C.

3) Plug the “Muscle Generator” GN on the empty GN

4) Add some lights with specifications and constraints.

5) Add reflectors with specifications and constraints.

Here I do my things.

Then I asked a second script that will:

1) Save File-01

2) Save it again as File-02

3) Clean up all the unused data blocks and so on from the Blender Files tab.

4) Apply all the modifiers

5) Import the material “Skin 2026-06-30”

Here I do my things.

Then I asked to write a 3rd script that should have:

1) Save File-02

2) Save it as File-03

3) Apply all modifiers and clean up.

4) Import the “Create Body Hair” node

5) Import the collection “Body hair”

6) Create an empty mesh and by some means add the hair so that they are on the object but are separated form the object.

7) Create a hair lamp that will light only the hair.

8) Import an apply the material “Hair Material” on the hair. It is done by the node Create Body Hair.

Now you will notice it is something I could do by myself and I did. Chatgpt made an astonishing number of blatant mistakes at almost every step. In the end I got a “Your initial intuition (intuition???) was better”. I must also say I had to come with all the ideas to build the nodes and for the pipeline’s architecture.

Then I asked Chatgpt to make a seamless texture out of an already good skin texture. I got a black image.

My take on all this is that Chatgpt is good for simple tasks, very good to come up with highbrow bullshit but very poor to implement it. In short, waste of time and not enticing to spending money on it.

Claude on the other end is more reliable, doesn’t give me suggestions that it is not able to implement and produced very very good seamless textures from the same images than Chatgpt.

I’ll stick with Claude for coding and Blender and go to Chatgpt when I need to translate something into Croatian.
