Loopcut v0.2.22 (Local AI & Studio Edition)

Welcome to the Local AI & Studio Edition of Loopcut for Blender 5.2.2 LTS. This release transforms Loopcut into a privacy-first, locally inferenced 3D copilot featuring offline engine support, native Antigravity CLI integration, embedded Claude Blender Studio tools, and robust Linux build pipelines.


Highlights & New Features

🧠 Local AI Engine by Default (Strata Swift 1.5)

  • Zero Cloud Dependence: Configured out of the box to communicate with Strata (Swift 1.5 at http://127.0.0.1:8099/v1).
  • Thinking Mode Control: Choose between Fast (low reasoning effort), Balanced (medium reasoning effort), and Deep (high reasoning effort) directly from the N-panel.
  • Asynchronous Health Check: Built-in Test Strata connectivity check that never blocks Blender's UI thread.

⚡ Antigravity CLI (AGY) Integration

  • Native AGY provider (scripts/addons_core/loopcut/agy_cli.py) for orchestrating local coding models.
  • Tool Argument Normalization: Automatic repair for run_python calls handling literal newlines and malformed JSON common in local model streaming.

🛠️ Claude Blender Integration & Studio Tools

  • Embedded command handlers from the Claude Blender Integration suite without requiring external MCP socket daemons for chat:
    • studio_guide: Browse structured command groups, inspect parameters, docstrings, and run staged playbooks (retopo_and_bake, refine_generated, mesh_report).
    • studio_action: Execute advanced studio handlers on Blender's main thread with full scene diffing and Loopcut undo checkpoints.
    • Specialized Toolsets: Fast Sculpting (fast_sculpt), Hard Surface booleans & bevels (hard_surface), Quad Retopology (retopo_tools), Geometry Nodes orchestration (geonodes_controller), and Rigging & Animation (rig_anim_controller).

📐 Pixal3D Multiview 3D Pipeline

  • Vendored Pixal3D multiview generation pipeline for turning multi-angle image references into initial 3D mesh representations inside Blender.

🔒 Local Privacy by Default

  • Usage telemetry and conversation log sharing are disabled by default. Your 3D models, reference photos, geometry, and conversation data remain strictly on your local machine.

🔌 Dynamic Add-on Discovery & Reach

  • Detects installed Blender add-ons that are disabled and counts them per request.
  • The agent can search disabled add-ons via inspect_api and dynamically activate an add-on for the current session when needed, without altering startup defaults.

🐧 Linux System Glog & Build Fixes

  • Fixes dual-glog / gflags duplicate symbol collisions (-DWITH_SYSTEM_GLOG=ON, -DWITH_SYSTEM_GFLAGS=ON).
  • Includes build-loopcut.sh: a turn-key build automation script supporting headless builds, Python bpy modules, and full GUI Blender with AMD ROCm / HIP support.

Release Assets

  • loopcut-addon-v0.2.22-local-ai.zip: Standalone Loopcut Blender add-on package ready for installation in Blender 5.2.
  • loopcut-v0.2.22-to-local-ai.patch: Full unified patch against upstream Loopcut v0.2.22.
  • build-loopcut.sh: Linux build automation script for headless, bpy, and full GUI builds.
  • fix-loopcut-glog-v2.sh: Standalone system glog conflict resolution script.
