The Fast Hours take
Rory and Drew recommend learning Blender as a basic 2025 skill for where 3D and AI video are converging (Ep. 22), and agentic tools have made it far faster: Fable handled axis and placement errors Opus missed and cut 30-minute fixes to ten (Ep. 71). One guest calls it 'really solid' once learned, though still a complex craft (Ep. 76), even as another treats it as the old hand-built CGI tool her studio left behind after going AI-native (Ep. 73).
