What it makes
How a Hole in Your Yard Becomes a Pond, the guide's worked example, blind-rated 59/70 (the original page's own videos score 55 and 61). This copy was re-voiced with ElevenLabs. The guide itself uses a free voice that runs on your computer.
- A house and a striped lawn over a block of soil cut open like a cake
- A calm narrator who builds an everyday thing step by step: "But... So you... This is a ___."
- Blender (EEVEE) with free CC0 textures and models, set up by Claude
- Captions on the spoken word, a music bed and effects made in code
- A blind rater that scores the video on 7 rows before you post
You need
- A Claude subscription (Claude Code comes with Pro and Max)
- A computer with a graphics card helps. Any GPU or Apple Silicon works
- About 10 minutes of one-time setup (Blender and the free assets download themselves)
Time
About 2.5 to 3 hours on an RTX 3070, mostly unattended rendering.
