What they did

commieneko uses the official Blender MCP to have Claude write Geometry Nodes and Python scripts. Claude researched straight-back chair nomenclature and built a node group exposing those parts as parameters.

How it went

He says it was useful on the first try and very nice after some back and forth. They distribute the assets internally.

Worth knowing

Ask for watertight geometry and named parameters.

Starter prompt

Research standard parts of a [furniture type], then build a Geometry Nodes group that exposes each part as a parameter and outputs watertight geometry.
