Creating a 3D Table Lamp Model in Blender Using AI Assistants

The author shares her experience using AI tools like Codex and GPT-6 Astra to master Blender for 3D printing. After struggling with the software's complex interface, she turned to LLMs to guide the modeling process. For her first project, she designed a table lamp, including the base, stand, bracket, and lampshade. AI assistance significantly simplified the creation of complex geometry, material setup, and lighting. The project concluded with a five-second camera fly-through animation of the finished model. This case study highlights how generative AI can lower the barrier to entry for professional 3D modeling, helping beginners overcome technical hurdles and accelerate the realization of creative ideas.
