TEST 08 · GAUNTLET v1

The Blender Build (live)

Measures 3d spatial reasoning, tool-calling stamina, working in an unfamiliar live environment (agentic test #2).

The prompt, verbatim

You are connected to a live Blender session through MCP tools. Build the classic Blender beginner scene: a delicious-looking donut with icing and sprinkles, sitting on a plate on a wooden table. Model the donut and its icing, scatter individual sprinkles, create convincing materials (soft dough, glossy icing, ceramic plate, wood), set up lighting and a camera for an appetizing composition, then render a final image at 1920x1080 and save it to disk, telling me the file path. Work step by step in the live scene so your progress is visible as you go — do not just execute one giant script at the end.
