Claude built a 3D window tool, but failed on one small moving part
A window maker with no programming built a strong 3D window visualizer using . The result looked better than a commercial tool that costs £200 per month.
The project stalled when it needed to animate a small window hardware part called a 5 bar friction stay. About £200 in Fable credits and more than 11 hours went into trying to make that part move correctly.
Opus and Fable were both tried with maximum settings and , with more than 100 revisions, but the model and render still did not work. The practical problem is how to finish this small mechanical piece without wasting more tokens and money.
Key points
- A non-programmer used Claude to create a credible 3D window visualizer.
- The visual result seemed better than a rented tool costing £200 per month.
- The hard part was animating a 5 bar friction stay, a small moving window .
- Around £200 in Fable credits and more than 11 hours did not solve it.
- Opus, Fable, , and over 100 revisions still failed to produce the needed model and render.
