This has the potential to be my favorite upcoming feature for Blender 4.4! (Also silently crossing my fingers that these exported 10/12-bit video files can contain the necessary metadata to be properly tagged as HDR uploads on most video platforms 🤞)

It seems ChatGPT’s new unreleased model can output visual representations of GeoNode setups! Occasionally when using ChatGPT’s o1-preview, you get two responses to compare the newer unreleased o1 version of ChatGPT. It happened to me while asking about GeoNodes, and I think this looks promising!

Every single time! #b3d
