LDraw Mecha: agent-driven Blender animation of LEGO models
Overview
antelocnova introduces LDraw Mecha, a tool where an AI agent reads an LDraw LEGO model's .mpd source, infers its mechanisms, and generates Python code that builds Blender rigs and animations.
The post's sample animations were generated from original models. Installation requires Python 3.12+, Blender 5.2.3, LeoCAD, and git-lfs on macOS, according to the post.
