> Modern models can make nearly photorealistic games in threejs. So why do they struggle with these pelicans?

Are you sure they're not fetching free asset packs for that?

Yes. I've been doing a bunch of 3D experiments with recent models, you can check the session logs and see if they've retrieved anything. They're building the 3D models directly in code.

I even built an environment that allows execution of Python code to render with Blender but allows no other interactions (including networking, I sandbox that off). They can create good 3D models just fine - here's a Faberge Egg by Gemini 4 Argon: https://tools.simonwillison.net/blender-viewer?url=https%3A%...

    Oof (no pun intended), that's a huge step-change in competence over last time I tried this.

    Thanks for doing all this research!
