Recreating Neo's Matrix apartment 100% with Claude + Blender MCP in 5 part-time days
Repulsive-Rush3505 · reddit · 2026-10-16
A user rebuilt Neo's apartment from The Matrix in 3D entirely with Claude via MCP-connected Blender — no image-to-3D tools like Meshy or Tripo. Part-time effort: 5 days vs 1-2 months traditionally.
- Claude Opus 5.5 handled modeling, UVs, camera, materials, compositing; parallel Sonnet/Haiku agents assisted, directed via the author's sketch annotations
- The $20 plan was the main constraint: strict token management and 5-hour reset waits; a higher tier is recommended
- Textures mixed external maps with Claude-generated vector graphics; Claude researched set hardware, gathered blueprints, modeled assets in parallel
- Layout was hardest to direct; UV unwrapping fastest. Pipeline: Windows MCP + Blender MCP, rendered on RTX 3070, largely directed from a phone
- Solid 3D fundamentals and art direction were essential — a simple prompt isn't enough
