Introducing Blender Bench: an LLM evaluation benchmark for using Blender.

https://blenderbench.realityreprojector.com/

The creation of this project was inspired by MineBench , which has always fascinated me as someone who has been working with 3D for quite some time. I think we’ve now reached a point where models are advanced enough to finally do meaningful work in 3D.

In my opinion, understanding 3D is an important capability for AI, especially as we move toward world models, AGI, and embodied AI.

Understanding 3D comes down to recognizing relationships between objects in space, predicting how they would interact with one another, and developing a sense of visual beauty and composition.

The first part of Blender Bench consists of creative tasks, mostly based on detailed prompts describing a scene. I’m planning to add a second part to the evaluation focused on real-world Blender workflows and everyday 3D tasks, such as rigging, retopology, and animation.

Some parts, like retopology, may be a little overkill, but they also provide an interesting way to observe how models approach problem-solving.

Anyway, this is only the beginning, and I find the project really fun.

see you around!
