I wonder how long it took to come up with all this?

Because if I wanted a spiral of little "buttons" like the last one at the end (and they don't look very much like sweets) I'd be able to knock that out in Blender in an afternoon, and I'm not very good at Blender.

I think you're vastly overestimating the average persons ability to use Blender if you can do that in an afternoon; just figuring out how to place a colored cube and the camera probably takes an afternoon if you pick up Blender for the first time.

  • And knowing these little tricks to get what you want with image generation models also takes time. Not to mention you need some knowledge on some other software just to make the underlying layout.

  • I guess I'm coming at it from having used Blender for an afternoon or so, and already knowing Python.

    If you were good at GLSL you could do it in that maybe.

    Someone somewhere is going to write something that directly draws it to a framebuffer in Brainfuck, you just know it, don't you?

I remember opening Blender for the first time years ago and thinking it had the steepest learning curve of any software I'd ever used.
