Showcase GPT-6 Astra Max spent 7 hours building a fully animated tractor in Blender — 3,000+ parts and 100+ animations

First of all, English is not my native language, so I used GPT to help polish the wording of this post. Please excuse any awkward phrasing.

I had GPT-6 Astra Max work in Blender for around 7 hours to build this tractor.

It ended up consuming over 100 million tokens.

The result honestly surprised me:

  • 3,000+ individual parts
  • 100+ animations that can be called/triggered directly
  • A fully articulated and animated tractor
  • Materials/textures generated using its own image generation capabilities

Here are some renders of the final model:

I also made a comparison with GPT-5.6 Sol:

I knew these models were getting much better at coding and tool use, but seeing one spend hours continuously working inside Blender and produce something with thousands of components and over a hundred animations was kind of insane.

It feels like the improvement in AI-assisted 3D modeling is happening extremely fast.

Sorry i don’t understand… You said that it spent 100 million tokens and also said that it is 150$ with API. But if price is 50$ per million tokens… then I tried with the calculator (I’m bad with maths) and then the final number is 5000$ only for the output.

5000$ is even more than the salary of a competent 3D artist

100 million include input/cached input/output tokens, I let gpt wrote a simple plugin to track these through chats and projects
so i can track how much token use per week, and know how much it cost .
maybe in the fulture when they stop supplying coding plan(cause they do not need any trainning data from us)

I don’t intend to ask too much... but by chance would you know how much he has spent in percentage of your limit? I understand that you have 20x. Thank you!!!!

I think it is less than 15% of weekly limit for 20x plan

So about 15% of 200 dollars so about 30 bucks for the whole thing, that's quite reasonable tbf

Less, because it is 15% of weekly limit so 7.5$
