BAP – End Manual UVs, Rig Setup, and Blockouts Forever
This single feature would save every Blender user 20-50% of their daily grind.
BAP (Blender Assistant with Prompt) lets you type plain instructions and instantly skip the worst parts of 3D work. Like if Rigify, Smart UV Project, and Motion Capture had a baby that actually understood English.
You stay 100% in control. Edit everything. Turn off anytime. Here's what thousands of us waste hours on daily:
The Tasks We ALL Hate (And BAP Fixes)
1. UV Unwrapping
Select chair → "unwrap for texturing"
→ Clean seams + packed islands in 3s
No more 30min clicking per prop.
2. Basic Materials
Select table → "wooden table material"
→ PBR shader with smart roughness/normal
Skip node roulette for every asset.
3. Rig Controls
Select arm bones → "add IK/FK sliders"
→ Full controls + constraints ready
Rigify doesn't do creatures. This would.
4. In-betweens
Pose 1 + Pose 10 → "smooth steps between"
→ Perfect curves to polish
End copying/pasting F-curves.
5. Lip Sync
Audio + face → "match mouth to voice"
→ Working phonemes you tweak
No more manual mouth keying.
6. Previz Blockout
Empty → "bedroom with window cam"
→ Walls + furniture + camera path
Directors need this yesterday.

Oh, for frack's sake.
"Make magic buttons" is not remotely a serious feature request.
