Create a smallish and cozy self contained scene blooming with life. I.e. a cabin in the woods with an animated character living there, walking around doing stuff. Use assets from polyhaven. Use blender if you need to. Should look AAA.

A creator posting as u/laht1 used Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code to build a woodland scene featuring a cabin and an animated nisse character. They report spending about six hours on the project, starting with one prompt and adding a handful of remarks along the way.
The initial request asked for a small, self-contained scene with an animated character walking around and doing things. It specified Poly Haven assets and allowed Blender where needed. The source identifies the trees, rocks, plants and props as Poly Haven assets under CC0. Agents built the cabin, the character, its rig and 18 animation clips using scripted Blender. The scene was built in Python with threepp.
This is a firsthand account of a scene made with Claude Code, rather than a tutorial proposing a workflow. The post identifies the initial prompt, the assets used and which elements the agents built. The author supplied the direction and subsequent remarks; the post does not describe a formal testing or review process.
Who it's for: creators experimenting with agent-assisted 3D scenes who can provide art direction and review the resulting animation.
