# Blender: Generate LODs

> Blender: Generate LODs is a paid API for AI agents from market.datapackvibe.com, paid per call via x402, $0.03/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-13).

Generates multiple Level-of-Detail (LOD) GLB meshes with decreasing triangle budgets from an input mesh, returning a manifest of all LOD variants

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability blender-generate-lods-9d44c93f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate 3 LOD levels from my mesh with a target of 1000 faces at the highest LOD, using metallic 0.2 and roughness 0.6 with color #ff4422 — run it through the Blender LOD generator and give me back the GLB files and manifest.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need automated, reproducible LOD chain generation from an arbitrary 3D mesh (JSON, GLB, or OBJ) without setting up a local Blender pipeline. Ideal for game asset workflows, real-time rendering optimization, and mobile/web 3D where multiple polygon-budget variants are required. Best for small to medium meshes (under 10k vertices) where sub-60-second turnaround is acceptable. Not suitable for meshes with embedded textures/animations or files over 512 KiB.

## Known failure modes

- Mesh exceeds 10,000 vertices or 20,000 faces — input rejected
- base64 model exceeds 512 KiB decoded — rejected
- busy worker queue full — error returned before payment settlement
- invalid hex color format — validation error
- OBJ/GLB parsing failure — format error
- mesh has degenerate geometry Blender cannot process — processing error
- count outside 2–8 range — validation error

## How this service works

Blender: Generate Lods: Deliver three GLB meshes with decreasing triangle budgets and a manifest. Accepts mesh JSON, small GLB or OBJ; without input uses an explicitly labelled demo mesh. Runs locally in Blender. Bounded small-model processing, normally under 60 seconds; a busy worker returns an error before payment settlement.

## Output

Returns three (or more, based on count parameter) GLB mesh files with progressively decreasing triangle budgets, plus a manifest JSON identifying each LOD level and its face count. If no input mesh is provided, uses the built-in demo mesh and explicitly labels it as such in the response.
