As a dev trying to create 3D games on my spare time, I actually am (I'm also eager to use stableprojector once I upgrade my 10yo pc)

It's really hard having to be a 3D modeler, animator, art director, developer and having good enough taste to know you're never going to have the time to build what you find acceptable

First time making something 3D and code wise, codex has been very useful, even creating a in-game 3D editor as well as netcode

The trickiest part is really using 3D and it comes with lot of extra scoping you normally take for granted: animation, uv texture, rigging for humanoids, making sure stuff doesn't clip through etc.

Still learning Blender but its very slow. I haven't tried the MCP for it yet but I want to get proficient at it to be able to produce psx graphic models and textures...

I'm kind of keen to see what mess Claude code could do with a small Unreal Engine 5 C++ project. Or what clever tricks it could actually pull off in that environment.
