Opus 5.5 generated this hyper-realistic betta fish entirely in code The goal was simple: create an extremely realistic betta fish that could live directly on a Mac desktop. The result is a detailed 3D fish with flowing translucent fins, realistic proportions and surprisingly convincing materials. At this point, asking a coding model to generate something that looks like a photographed animal instead of a piece of software doesn’t even feel that weird anymore.
