I Gave Opus 5.5 My Blender Tests From a Year Ago - It's Insane transcript

Only one year ago I first time tried to plug Claude to working Blender. At that time it was Claude 3 .7 senet and I tried to create a castle on some simple landscape and here is the results that I got that time. I was actually impressed by this, right? And one year later, right now we have Opus 5 .5 and I actually run that same test and here's what I got. Just look at this! This is absolutely crazy and that made me think that it would be really fun to find that old test that I was doing or someone else was doing and try to do it today to see how fast AI really advances.

And by the way this castle test took 72 minutes and approximately 50 dollars if we calculate it as API costs. Unfortunately I don't know how much it cost when it was made Senet. Now it all actually started with first release of Blender MCP. It was a post on X more than one year ago by Siddharth Ahuja who actually developed that Blender MCP. This is the post by the way where I got inspiration to do my test with that MCP in Blender.

So the test he was actually showing is quite fun. He tried to create a scene in Blender with the dragon next to a pot of gold. That's interesting and look at the results that he got. If he posted right now on X I don't. Think he will get 2 million views. So I gave Opus 4 .5 same prompt and here's what it created. No. Way Just look at this! And this is all actually made procedurally. I have no idea how he actually. Managed to do that but this looks sick.

And here's how it looks rendered. Guys this is absolutely crazy. Look the difference between these two examples is just one year. We are dancing like crazy. 15 years ago. Within one year nothing really happens and now we have evolution of whole generation. Next it will be donuts. I've been doing donut test around three months ago but I found even older version which was made Opus 4 .7. By youtube channel called theoretical media.

And here's the results that he were getting at that time. Not bad right? He also tried. To create it once again providing with the reference image of donut made by Blender guru with his recent blended tutorial. You can see the results that we're getting on the screen and I gonna try to do post. First round I gonna give it a simple prompt make me a. Donut in Blender and for the second one I gonna attach this reference which is a donut made by Blender guru in his Blender course.

And here's the result from round 8. It's absolutely crazy. This is the best result I ever seen. Like. Guys it's done. AI is really good at 3d right now. And look. At this Blender scene it prepared. Not only donut but there is a cup and there is actually another chocolate donut. How about that? I mean this is absolutely insane. I do 3d for whole my professional life and I don't think I can make like this. And here's the result from round B.

And it looks crazy close. Look it is almost identical. First time I actually opened it I thought like maybe it actually misused the image but no this is basically a scene that it created around my reference that is almost 100 % accurate. That's insane. Look at this. Wow that's crazy. I would not even be surprised if AI actually watched Blender guru tutorials and just repeated it one by one to get this perfect result.

And for this donut test I don't know how much it took that time but my test with Opus 5 .5 took 100 minutes again 2 rounds and 21 dollars potentially if you use a true API but of course I was using a true subscription. Okay I do have some more tests and by the way guys if you want unleash your AI agent and provide it with best APIs I really recommend you to take a look on Hicksville. It has whole ecosystem of tools starting from Hicksville Blender plugin which I actually use almost all the time that allows my agent to generate 3d models with tripple, mesh, Hunyuan and much more.

Not to say about Images and videos. And recently they also launched Hicksville API that gives you even more possibilities and access to top tier models. All links will be in the description. Now another interesting test that was made four months ago and is from my video four months ago. I actually got crazy idea to animate keys on old keyboard and to be honest at that time Claude did quite a good job. It was also opus 4 7 and I think it was quite impressive right?

You can see the animation on my screen and I still think that's a good job but how far can Opus 5 5 take it? Wow dang wow this is just wow it's a basic wow this is absolutely insane I didn't ask something like this like wow my emotions is actually real like I actually haven't seen this results before I started to record the video and I'm like like speechless look this is crazy you see what you see like I want to see it in Blender okay here is it in Blender wow I mean this is such a difficult animation wow crazy just insane wow it's all done in Blender wow now I know why this guy was cooking it for so long that absolutely worth every minute it took 111 minutes and potentially could cost 23 dollars if you use a true API.

Let's see more there was another video where I tried to animate an angel so basically it Was Angel split in parts I generated in parts and I tried to make this tornado animation and assemble that Angel right it was quite difficult and I only made it from second attempt and you can see the results and this one was only three months ago with Opus 4 .8 Let's see what Opus 5 .5 created no freaking way I mean like guys how did he actually create that in Blender like wow I need to see that in Blender that's crazy like that's not just assembly animation that's like crazy thing okay so this is like a whole system of different VFX's look at this Opus 5 .5 is the wildest model so far and I cannot imagine what's coming next for real this Angel animation took 84 minutes and potentially could cost 18 dollars again I haven't considered that important at that time but maybe in one year we can compare it with this test and we'll be absolutely blown away now there is another test that I tried to build it was related to assembling islands and here I was providing an image and providing access to API so it can generate 3d models and my request was to ask it to generate objects place them nicely so I can actually have my island built from that pieces well it was not successful at all it was sort of close but not really close objects was rotated place it in the wrong places etc I think we can do it better right now right so I'm gonna provide it with the same image and ask for exactly the same thing that time I was providing with a lot of stuff now I don't really need to do that whoa now we talk oh wow that looks like identical right wow wow wow okay like this just a few flaws like this one right it should be like yeah there should be like one stone I think it missed like one stone but yeah maybe some stones here okay okay okay like this gives us hope that we're still needed right but he's absolutely crazy like yeah I mean a few flaws there and there like maybe he basically just missed it like basically he gives us hope I tend to believe that but in general again like this is absolutely great it really understands much more the space etc obviously the bigger objects the more chance that something will be missed or misplaced but overall this is beautiful and to make it happen it took me 62 minutes and you can see it could potentially cost 20 bucks and there's $5 .5 for generations and we can actually see it generated 13 Tripo 3d models 18 image edits and one patina material absolutely great that's exactly how I expected it to work by Youtube creator Aiden Stanik and he was actually trying to provide cloths with rigged character and ask it to do simple.

Animations and here for example you can see how wave animation was looking and yeah not really impressive so I think that's an interesting idea so why don't we test the same thing I found free character in Blender which is also rigged so I'm gonna provide it with cloth and ask for four animations wave walk run and jump let's see how he gonna handle that let's start from wave not bad well it is actually not bad it definitely can use control rigs and already played a lot with AI workflows related to animations this one is actually not bad approach now let's take a look on run okay it's a little bit rigid but it's not bad right it's not bad it actually walks and here is the walking animation well yeah it definitely lacks some dynamics but still it's very very impressive and I was actually able to animate creatures such as wolf scorpet and much more it's definitely possible to use it for animation but I really recommend you to review it step by step then you're gonna get best result and this set of animation took 116 minutes and potentially could cost you 22 dollars if you use it to Api and unfortunately I also don't know how much token Aiden spent I basically don't know anything about previous tests also one of the oldest tests that I did a year ago with Gemini not cloths it was related to physics and guys that Time that was actually impressive, I asked it to simple simulation right in Blender like with cubes and pressing play button it actually simulates the physics right and that time that was cool right.

But let's test it right now I think we'll be blown away and for this test I asked Opus 5 to impress me and here's the prompt that he suggested build a Rube Goldberg machine on a wooden table in Blender. No idea what is that let's take a look. Whoa whoa no freaking way it's absolutely crazy again like I cannot believe that's actually like a simulation is that's a simulation or it's. Oh here we can see the scene in Blender and we can actually hit play button.

I don't care if that a simulation or not well I think like it's actually a few simulation at once. Wow that's absolutely insane no way you basically can't imagine whatever like is gonna be done like guys that's crazy you see what you see anyway. One more and this will be about creating a game I found a guy who tried to make a football simulator his name is Hollow Wolf and that video from seven months ago actually got one million views and here you can see what results he got.

He said that like it took 45 minutes and you see what I mean it's not that bad. I asked Opus to create something better and it created this I actually gonna record. It with sounds because you actually need to see that oh you can actually watch Cpu with Cpu no I already tried it the controls are very difficult because I mean I'm not a Fifa player but I'm gonna try my best guess so just look at this intro it's absolutely epic okay it's a little bit okay penalty okay they are really good at this game first of all I can see that everyone is actually running like all players are procedurally created okay okay we're approaching gates okay okay no that was too naive I think no they actually took my lab and this is actually playable game I played it like for 20 minutes and there are no bugs it actually fun to play I mean of course you can improve on graph this one only took 23 minutes to create like close to what original was doing and just look at this this is absolutely crazy this is first of all it's a playable experience like I played it for 20 minutes and it's really fun I was barely facing any bugs like look it has all situations like it has referee it has the animation like super super cool and you know like all these examples that I showed you like and I showed myself they show like that we are actually advancing they're very fast the speed is insane I'm boss excited and terrified but it is what it is and I hope in The first place it will allow many people to create to fulfill their dreams and do crazy things. that Was staff as usual.
