I think you're vastly overestimating the average persons ability to use Blender if you can do that in an afternoon; just figuring out how to place a colored cube and the camera probably takes an afternoon if you pick up Blender for the first time.

Yeah, I've bounced off Blender twice now. And I've written a (basic) 3D modeller.

I think part of the problem is that pretty much all the tutorial material for Blender seems to be in video form, which is easily my least effective way to learn, even leaving aside the "I've only got one screen" issue.

And knowing these little tricks to get what you want with image generation models also takes time. Not to mention you need some knowledge on some other software just to make the underlying layout.
I guess I'm coming at it from having used Blender for an afternoon or so, and already knowing Python.

If you were good at GLSL you could do it in that maybe.

Someone somewhere is going to write something that directly draws it to a framebuffer in Brainfuck, you just know it, don't you?

I'd just do it with Pillow.
