Opus 5.5 builds one mechanical leg in Blender and mirrors a whole scorpion

Opus 5.5 templates one mechanical leg, mirrors it into eight, rebuilds the tail from segment count, and runs eleven checks before rendering.

Opus 5.5 builds one mechanical leg in Blender, turns it into a template, and the rest of the scorpion assembles itself It does not model eight legs separately. One joint chain is mirrored around the body while every segment stays editable. FRAME - body and joint positions set first TEMPLATE - one leg built from reusable segments MIRROR - eight instances linked to one source CHECK - scale and topology tested before render The tail follows the same rule. Change the segment count and the whole curve rebuilds without touching the mesh. That is the advantage of writing Blender as code. The hundredth repeated part costs almost nothing. But the render can still lie. A script targeting the wrong Blender version may produce a finished image while modifiers or hidden geometry are already broken. So Opus pins the version and runs eleven checks before judging the result visually. Only then does the scorpion receive materials, lighting and the final camera pass. The expensive part was never creating eight legs. It was building one leg correctly enough to trust it eight times. The full Opus 5.5 → Blender workflow and prompts are below.
