Using a single Nano Banana image and Blender MCP, Gemini 4 Argon built a 3D Gothic cathedral in @Antigravity. It iterates on the geometry, textures, and lighting to create the finished scene.
Not all forests are equal, and now we can map the difference. 🌳 Meet Forest Typology (ForTy): a 10m map of natural, planted, and farmed forests to help identify deforestation and protect the forests that matter most. 🧵
Gemini 4 Argon combined three open-source datasets to build an interactive 3D visualization of human anatomy. Toggle different layers in motion, isolate muscles, or zoom inside a beating heart.
Gemini 4 Argon built a 3D periodic table synced to Tom Lehrer’s song, “The Elements.” Created in @Antigravity, it animates orbiting electrons, atomic data, and light spectra.
Four Gemini 4 Argon agents beat Minecraft from scratch in 27 hours. Operating in a sandbox using only code and text, they wrote 2,783 programs, divided up jobs over chat, shared notes, and debugged errors together – all with no human help ↓
