A single prompt to Claude Opus 5.5 in claude.ai kicks off a full Blender pipeline that renders a ~20-second stop-motion claymation. The scene: a clay ball character with sleepy eyes sitting on a warm wood table surrounded by books, a pencil cup, and fairy-light bokeh. Claude plans the shot, builds the 3D clay set, fixes shadow artifacts, animates the character frame-by-frame, and exports the final video — all autonomously, no manual Blender work required.
