Claude Opus 5.5 can't make images, but its code draws, animates and edits video

Eric Buess notes that Claude Opus 5.5 can't generate an image or video directly — instead it writes code that draws, animates, and edits them. This week people have been pushing that approach to its limits, with standouts including hand-drawn animation via the open-sourced Anidoodle skill, a code-driven video editing workflow, and a fully code-generated Blender scene of a proton collision in the LHC.
