Redrob Shape is an agentic 3D creation suite that shapes and shades your models by prompt, and opens your existing .blend files.
Written from scratch in pure Rust: a half-edge modeler, a wgpu viewport, a path tracer and an
egui editor, with a built-in agent that proposes edits and waits for your approval. No Blender,
no C++ toolchain, no platform-specific build machines -- cargo build is the whole build on
Linux, macOS and Windows.
Early. See ROADMAP.md for the stage plan; the table there is the source of truth for what works today.

Releases ship for Linux (tar.gz), macOS (notarized DMG) and Windows (-setup.exe per-user
installer, or -portable.zip to unzip anywhere). Redrob Launcher installs the portable build.
cargo build --release -p redrob-shape
./target/release/redrob-shape
Linux needs the usual windowing headers (libxkbcommon-dev libwayland-dev libx11-dev libxrandr-dev libxi-dev libgl1-mesa-dev on Debian/Ubuntu).
cargo fmt --all -- --check
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
cargo test --workspace
Branches follow gitflow: develop is the default, main is release, work branches are
feat/…, fix/…, docs/…, chore/…, test/…, refactor/…, perf/…, hotfix/…,
release/…, sync/…. See the org CONTRIBUTING.
While a Redrob Shape window is open it registers itself with the shared Redrob Code daemon,
so the agent in any Redrob surface sees the window as MCP server app:shape and can drive
the scene the user is looking at. Every call runs on the UI thread with the same code the menus
use, and edits land in the undo history. Without a daemon the app runs as usual.
scene_info-- file path (or untitled), object count, selection, viewport and scene camera, render size.open_scene {path}-- open a scene file in the window, replacing the current scene.list_objects {max?}-- one line per object: id, name, type, parent, visible or hidden.select {ids}-- select objects by id or name, replacing the selection.transform {id, translate?, rotate_deg?, scale?}-- move, rotate and/or scale one object relative to where it is.set_visible {id, visible}-- show or hide one object.render {path?, width?, height?}-- render with the render panel's settings and write a PNG; answers the path.save-- save the scene to its file; fails when the scene is untitled.
Until October 2026 this repository was a patch-based Blender distribution. That tree is kept at
the tag blender-fork-final and the branch archive/blender-fork-history; nothing from it is
carried here.
