Simon Willison outlines a practical workflow for pairing AI coding agents with Blender on macOS. By leveraging Blender's bundled Python runtime and command-line background execution flags, coding agents can directly write bpy scripts, trigger renders, and iteratively adjust 3D scenes based on terminal output. The setup bridges conversational programming tools with sophisticated 3D software, bypassing complex graphical interfaces in favor of fast, script-driven generation.
