Using Blender with coding agents on macOS
Simon Willison demonstrates driving the Blender macOS app with ChatGPT Codex coding agents to render scenes via Python, costing roughly $4.24 at API rates.
Willison documents installing the full Blender application from blender.org and using ChatGPT Codex on macOS to render a pelican-riding-a-bicycle scene through Blender's Python API. He refined the output with follow-up prompts. AgentsView estimated the equivalent API cost at $4.24 for gpt-6-astra.

TIL: Using Blender with coding agents on macOS I've been having fun with Blender in ChatGPT Codex on my Mac recently. Getting it to work with coding agents is really easy: install the full Mac application from blender.org and run a prompt like this: Use the already install /Applications/Blender to render a scene of a pelican riding a bicycle In this case I followed that up with these two prompts: OK add a background and a lot of flair Then: OK make it a whole lot better And got this image, generated using Blender's Python API : This was covered by my existing Codex subscription, but according to AgentsView it would have cost $4.24 at API prices for gpt-6-astra .
