Why we like it

Stands out in the superhive library for tapping local models through LM Studio and Ollama alongside Google Gemini, all inside Blender's Text Editor.

What is Buddycode Gpt: Blender Copilot - Powerful Coding Companion?

Buddycode Gpt: Blender Copilot is a Blender add-on that integrates AI-powered code generation and text completion directly into the Text Editor. It provides its interface inside the editor and includes a built-in file browser for navigating and managing your files, plus one-click creation of new Python scripts.

As you type, it offers real-time code completion with context-aware suggestions, and it can generate code snippets from natural language prompts. Text completion finishes sentences or paragraphs based on context. Multi-Pair Execution runs multiple snippets or prompts at once, while context-aware generation loads documents and uses vector search to retrieve relevant information. A chat history keeps track of your conversations with the AI, and you can install Python modules from within Blender. Clipboard functionality copies output text with a single click, and an image processing feature adds visual cues.

The AI features are powered by LM Studio and Ollama, free desktop apps that supply the underlying models, and the add-on also works with Google Gemini.

Frequently asked questions

Does Buddycode Gpt work with Blender 2.80?

Buddycode Gpt: Blender Copilot requires Blender version 2.80 or higher, so it runs on that release and newer versions. It also needs Python 3, along with several libraries: Langchain and Langchain Community for interacting with AI models, Pyperclip for clipboard operations, and FAISS for vector search, which is optional and used for document loading. If you want to use the Ollama model you'll need the Ollama API running, and Google Gemini requires the Google Gemini API. Check the developer's page for full setup details before installing.

What AI models does Buddycode Gpt use?

Buddycode Gpt draws its AI-driven features from language models provided by LM Studio, Ollama and Google Gemini. LM Studio and Ollama are free desktop apps that supply the underlying models for its intelligent code completion, while Google Gemini is available through its API. To use Ollama you need the Ollama API running, and Google Gemini requires the Google Gemini API. The add-on connects to these models through the Langchain and Langchain Community libraries. Links to download LM Studio and Ollama are on the developer's page.

How do I install Buddycode Gpt in Blender?

Buddycode Gpt: Blender Copilot installs like a standard Blender add-on. Download the add-on script, then launch Blender and go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons. Click the Install button, locate the downloaded script and select it. Once installed, enable it by checking the box next to its name. The add-on also lets you install Python modules directly from within Blender, which helps with the library requirements it depends on. See the developer's page for documentation covering module setup.

Is Buddycode Gpt free?

Buddycode Gpt: Blender Copilot is listed as free in this catalog. The AI models it relies on come from LM Studio and Ollama, which are free desktop apps you can download separately, while Google Gemini is accessed through its own API.
