Smart Poly tests Opus 5.5 as a Blender animation agent
Claude is beginning to perform production animation tasks inside Blender instead of merely explaining how to do them.

Claude is beginning to perform production animation tasks inside Blender instead of merely explaining how to do them.
What Happened
Smart Poly connected Claude Opus 5.5 to Blender through Higgsfield MCP and supplied already-rigged models. Claude was asked to build animation sets including first-person weapon motion, locomotion and T-Rex movement and attack cycles, with the creator reviewing the results in the production workflow.
Why It Matters
This is direct evidence of agentic AI moving from asset generation into production work inside a real DCC. For game developers and filmmakers, that changes AI from a reference or generation tool into a potential production collaborator inside Blender.
VEYR Angle
The model isn't explaining Blender anymore. It's doing Blender work.
