A prompt surface inside Blender
Instead of switching to a browser, you describe the asset where the scene lives and watch the result appear in the viewport.
Blender AI
Plugin
The Blender AI plugin puts an AI assistant inside Blender itself: describe an asset, get editable geometry in the open scene, then retopologise, texture and export without leaving the file you are already working in.
What does the plugin add to Blender?
Four things, and only the first is generation. The other three are the maintenance work that eats an afternoon.
Scene-aware generation
The assistant can see what is already there: your units, your collections, the object you selected, the camera you blocked.
Maintenance tools that are not generation
Topology repair, vertex reduction, material assignment, batch renaming and export prep are all prompts rather than manual passes.
A Python layer you can keep
Anything repetitive becomes a script you can read, edit and run headless later - the same automation discipline as a studio toolchain.
BEFORE YOU START
What do you need before installing?
The setup is deliberately short - no render farm, no local GPU requirement, no plugin marketplace hunt:
- Blender 4.2 or newer, installed normally (blender.org downloads)
- A Google account: Blender AI uses Google sign-in only, there is no separate password
- A paid plan - generation is metered in prompts, Starter is $9 a month for 100 prompts
- An internet connection while generating; your scene itself stays local
HOW IT RUNS
How do prompts and plan allowances work?
One prompt equals one generation request, and the allowance resets at the start of every billing month. A request that fails is returned to your balance rather than counted against you, which matters when a prompt is a bad fit for the model.
Plans differ in three ways beyond volume: queue priority, output quality, and how much scene context a request can carry. Starter is for single assets, Pro adds a faster queue and higher quality, Premium adds priority speed and batch scene generation for continuous production work.

Blender AI plugin questions
Versions, accounts, cost and data - answered directly.
What is the Blender AI plugin?⌄
It is the Blender-side part of Blender AI: a prompt surface that lets an AI assistant create and edit 3D content in your open scene. You describe an object, the assistant generates editable geometry, and everything after that is normal Blender work.
Which Blender versions are supported?⌄
Treat Blender 4.2 or newer as the baseline. That is the LTS line, and it is what the scripting and export examples in the documentation assume.
Do I need a separate account for the plugin?⌄
Yes - one Blender AI account, created with Google sign-in. Plans are attached to that account, and the prompt allowance is shared across everything you do with it.
How much does it cost?⌄
Starter is $9 a month for 100 prompts, Pro is $19 for 200 prompts with a faster queue and higher quality output, and Premium is $49 for 800 prompts with priority speed and batch generation. Annual billing saves 17%.
Does the plugin send my .blend file anywhere?⌄
Generation runs against a model service, which means prompts and the context needed to place geometry are sent for processing. Your working file stays on your machine, and you should avoid putting client-confidential names into prompts.
What if I only need one part of it, like topology repair?⌄
That works too. Topology passes, vertex reduction, material assignment and export preparation are all available as single requests rather than requiring a full generation run first.
