Bioinspired3D

Fine-tuned version of meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct using LoRA adapters for Blender code generation for bioinspired 3D models.

Abstract

Generative AI has made rapid progress in text, image, and video synthesis, yet text-to-3D modeling for scientific design remains particularly challenging due to limited controllability and high computational cost. Most existing 3D generative methods rely on meshes, voxels, or point clouds which can be costly to train and difficult to control. We introduce Bioinspired123D, a lightweight and modular code- as-geometry pipeline that generates fabricable 3D structures directly through parametric programs rather than dense visual representations. At the core of Bioinspired123D is Bioinspired3D, a compact language model finetuned to translate natural language design cues into Blender Python scripts encoding smooth, biologically inspired geometries. We curate a domain-specific dataset of over 4,000 bioinspired and geometric design scripts spanning helical, cellular, and tubular motifs with parametric variability. The dataset is expanded and validated through an automated LLM-driven, Blender-based quality control pipeline. Bioinspired3D is then embedded in a graph-based agentic framework that integrates multimodal retrieval-augmented generation and a vision–language model critic to iteratively evaluate, critique, and repair generated scripts. We evaluate performance on a new benchmark for 3D geometry script generation and show that Bioinspired123D demonstrates a near fourfold improvement over its unfinetuned base model, while also outperforming substantially larger state-of-the-art language models despite using far fewer parameters and compute. By prioritizing code-as-geometry representations, Bioinspired123D enables compute-efficient, controllable, and interpretable text-to-3D generation, lowering barriers to AI driven scientific discovery in materials and structural design.

What’s in this repo (Hugging Face)

This Hugging Face release contains Bioinspired3D only: a LoRA adapter that you load on top of the base model to generate Blender Python scripts from natural-language prompts.

For the full Bioinspired123D agentic framework (retrieval + VLM critic + iterative repair), see the GitHub repo: https://github.com/lamm-mit/Bioinspired123D . For training and evaluation scripts, see also the project GitHub.

from peft import PeftModel
import torch

BASE_MODEL = "meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct"
LORA_ADAPTER = "rachelkluu/bioinspired3D"

# Set this to your preferred device, e.g. "cuda:0" or "cpu"

    if matches:
        return matches[-1].group(1).strip()

Generate Blender code from a natural-language prompt

bash

prompt = """Write Blender code to make a cellular structure."""

formatted = format_input(prompt)
inputs = bio3d_tok(formatted, return_tensors="pt").to(bio3d_model.device)

with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = bio3d_model.generate(
        **inputs,
        max_new_tokens=2048,
        do_sample=True,
        temperature=0.1,
        top_p=0.9,
    )

raw = bio3d_tok.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
raw_code = extract_blender_code(raw)
blender_code = clean_blender_code(raw_code)

print(blender_code)

Prompting tips

Input: Natural language design intent (for example: “tubular structure with noisy placement”, “helical material with cylindrical fibers”, “smoothed cellular structure”).

Output: A Blender Python script (intended to be executed in Blender) that constructs the requested geometry.

To encourage explicit reasoning, append a variant of: “Think step by step.” to the end of your prompt. For example: "Write Blender code to make a tubular structure with z-aligned tubules. Think step by step."

Notes:

This adapter is meant to be used with the specified base model. Generated scripts should be treated like code: run in a sandboxed environment and validate geometry as needed.
