Creating 3D is hard. LLMs seem to be getting better at tool use and spatial understanding. While MCPs have proved to be a good way to use these tools- the current methods have these challenges:- Access to scene graph and core C modules of Blender- Lack of parallelism, only way is to run blender headless- Lack of deterministic and fast verification layer- Inference stack- only way to use inference is to hook another MCPWe're building Mixar, think Cursor for 3D. One access point to all generative inference, an agent to build scenes/blockouts, do boring stuff like UVs and export standard formats(.glb/gltf/obj/gbx/usd etc.)Try it: https://mixar.app - first week is free. Would love to get your feedback.

Could you build this?

Partial Connecting an LLM to Blender's Python API via an MCP server is straightforward, but running headless parallel instances with direct access to Blender's C-level scene graph requires specialized native integration.

What it would actually take: Building this requires a lightweight C/C++ or Cython wrapper around Blender's internal BKE (Blender Kernel) and RNA API, avoiding Python GIL bottlenecks and headless startup overhead. A distributed worker pool or shared-memory IPC daemon must orchestrate concurrent render/edit tasks and expose an MCP/RPC interface to the AI agent.
