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

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.
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.
