I made an agent-native 3d/vfx engine.Agents are good at making interesting scenes in Blender/Unreal/Nuke/etc. But these tools are fundamentally limited compared to what coding agents are capable of. Many simplifying assumptions are baked into these tools in order to fit human authoring methods.In vork, agents write the whole scene as code, including their own shaders, materials, cameras and physics, and vork renders it on the GPU. The core API fits in about 2,500 tokens.So, for example, almost every 3d engine assumes light moves in a straight line. Light near a black hole does not; so the best you can do in e.g. Blender is faking gravitational lensing. In vork, you can model it for real.If you want a camera lens that simulates a dragonfly's eye, or realistically-modeled Fata Morgana, this is also possible in vork.

Could you build this?
Partial A headless API and scene description layer that agents drive is vibe-codeable. A production-quality 3D/VFX engine with accurate rendering, physics and lighting is a large graphics-engineering problem that vibe coding alone won't deliver.
What it would actually take: Start with a scene-graph DSL and a renderer built on Vulkan, Metal or WebGPU, with path tracing or rasterization and a headless render server. The hard parts are the rendering core (lighting, materials, denoising), simulation, and performance, which call for graphics engineers with real engine experience.
