Collaboration

When it helps

• Client and designer. The client asks for "warmer lighting" in their own chat, and the scene changes in the designer's Blender.
• Teacher and student. The student works in the teacher's Blender and watches the AI build the scene.
• A colleague's powerful computer. You don't need a Blender computer of your own: you work in your colleague's Blender.
• A team, one at a time. A session joins the owner and one invited person; team members can take turns.

How to start

1. Both people sign in to Blender Bridge with accounts that have a confirmed email and active access.
2. In the Blender Bridge app, open Settings → Collaboration and choose your role for this session:
   • Receive commands in Blender — you provide your computer, and the invited person's AI runs commands in your Blender;
   • AI control — you ask for access to someone else's Blender and work in it through your own AI; you don't need a Blender computer of your own.
3. Invite the person by their Blender Bridge account email or from your friends list. If you don't have a Blender computer of your own, invite them right from the chat: ask the AI to send the invitation.
4. The other person sees their role and accepts in the app or the plugin. If they accept the Receive commands in Blender role, they choose which of their computers to provide. With MCP, they can ask the AI to find and accept the invitation.
5. After acceptance, the person in control chooses the shared computer in the plugin or asks the AI to select it. Blender Bridge and Blender must be running on that computer.

Roles and boundaries

• Roles apply to this session only. The invitation shows who provides Blender and who works in it, and it is accepted once.
• Friends are contacts, not access. Being friends in Blender Bridge doesn't open your Blender; only an accepted invitation does.
• An invitation has a time limit. Accept it before it expires. Once accepted, the session continues until either person ends it.
• Either side can end the session at any time.
• The scene stays with the owner. Everything is built and stored in their Blender, on their computer.

How the other person connects their AI

Working in someone else's Blender goes through the Blender Bridge server, so the other person connects their AI in one of two ways:

• ChatGPT or Claude — by connecting to the Blender Bridge server address, on any device;
• Codex, Claude Code, Cursor and other apps — through Blender Bridge MCP.
