Sol 6.1 Blender test: 13 tasks from Low to Ultra

TREE AND SWING — REFERENCE RECREATION
Use the attached tree-swing-reference.png as the visual source of truth. Recreate it as an editable three-dimensional Blender scene.

Match the full oak-tree silhouette, spreading canopy, thick branching trunk, exposed roots and the wooden swing suspended to the right by two ropes. Reproduce the irregular raised meadow base, curving stepping-stone path, weathered fence, flowerpot, mossy rocks, grass and small white/yellow flowers. Keep swing attachment points plausible and the seat clear of the trunk and ground.

Match the warm afternoon lighting, beige studio background, elevated three-quarter camera, framing and balance of the reference. Include the entire canopy and terrain with a clear margin. Preserve believable bark, rope, leaf, wood, stone and earth materials. Aim for the reference's detailed, crafted 3D appearance. Match broad foliage clusters and flower distribution rather than every individual leaf. Procedural scattering and instancing are encouraged.

Reference fidelity concerns the overall silhouette, proportions, placement of the main elements, composition and material/light character. Fine surface detail does not compensate for a substantially different canopy shape, trunk proportions or swing placement. The opposite view must show the same finished scene, with coherent unseen sides rather than geometry arranged only for the reference camera.

Build real depth and geometry; do not project the reference onto objects or use it as a background. Infer unseen sides conservatively. Animation is not required.

DELIVERABLES
- tree-swing.blend
- tree-swing.png: a 1600 x 1600 PNG render matching the reference camera.
- tree-swing-opposite.png: a second 1600 x 1600 PNG from the opposite three-quarter angle to demonstrate full 3D construction, using the same geometry, materials and lighting.
- README as described below.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Work in Blender and deliver an actual editable 3D scene, not just instructions or concept art. You may use Python to build the scene. Use your own geometry and procedural materials; do not download finished models or use generated images as substitutes for geometry. Keep objects, materials, collections and controls meaningfully named. Pack any required resources and include any simulation caches beside the file using relative paths. State the Blender version used.
Inspect rendered output and fix obvious problems before delivering. Include a short README with how to open/play/use the result, the main controls and any incomplete requirements. Report limitations honestly. Prioritize a coherent finished result over excessive hidden detail.

SAKURA TEMPLE — ENVIRONMENT DESIGN WITH CREATIVE FREEDOM

Create an original stylized Japanese Buddhist temple courtyard in Blender. This test evaluates your environment design, composition, materials and lighting. You have creative freedom over layout, architectural details, season-related storytelling, camera placement and time of day, within the constraints below.

SCOPE
Build a compact environment approximately 20 x 20 m, with a temple hall around 7 x 6 m as the main architectural feature. Include a roofed wooden entrance gate, a coherent walkable stone path leading toward the hall, two to four flowering sakura trees, at least two stone lanterns and a small planted or mossy garden area. Give the temple a raised wooden platform, visible steps, timber structural elements and a layered tiled roof with curved eaves. The entrance gate should be an architectural temple gate rather than a freestanding Shinto torii. This is an original fictional place, not a reconstruction of a real temple.

ART DIRECTION
Use a handcrafted stylized 3D animated-film appearance: appealing simplified forms, enough modeled detail to reward closer viewing, subtle surface variation and a harmonious palette. Sakura blossoms should provide soft pink accents against wood, stone and greenery. Choose a lighting setup that supports a clear mood and makes the main architecture readable. Avoid flat unlit colors, excessive bloom and excessive depth of field.

Wood, stone, ceramic roofing, foliage and blossoms should remain distinguishable through their forms and material response under the chosen lighting. Simplification should feel intentional, with enough variation to support the handcrafted style without obscuring the main shapes.

CREATIVE FREEDOM
Decide the courtyard layout, whether it is level or terraced, the precise architectural silhouette, arrangement of trees, weather and time of day. You may add a few purposeful supporting elements, such as a stone basin, wooden bench, fallen petals or a small stream, but do not turn the scene into a crowded prop collection. Give the viewer a clear visual route from entrance toward the temple and a distinct focal point. No characters, signage or text are required. Do not copy an existing film scene.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
Build actual three-dimensional architecture and vegetation. Repeated tiles, blossoms and foliage may use procedural instancing. Use coherent scale, plausible load-bearing connections, continuous stairs and paths, and convincing contact with the ground. Avoid floating lanterns, trees clipping through roofs and roofs with open accidental gaps. Simplify distant context so most effort goes into the courtyard. Organize terrain, architecture, foliage, props, lights and cameras in separate collections.

PRESENTATION
Create one carefully composed main camera view showing the courtyard's visual story, a second view from near the entrance, and an elevated overview that exposes the layout. All three should be intentional rendered views of the same scene. Animation is not required. Additional animation must not replace the still-image deliverables or distract from environment quality.

The three views should complement one another: the main composition establishes the focal point and route toward the hall, the entrance view conveys arrival in the courtyard, and the overview makes the relationship between gate, path, hall and garden clear. Preserve a consistent sense of scale, material treatment and mood across the three views.

DELIVERABLES
- sakura-temple.blend.
- Three 1920 x 1080 PNGs: main composition, entrance view and elevated overview.
- README.txt explaining your chosen mood, layout and main design decisions in a short paragraph, plus technical notes and limitations.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Create the actual editable Blender project, not only a plan or code listing. Python automation is allowed. Build your own geometry and procedural materials; do not download finished models or substitute generated images for 3D geometry. Use meaningful names and organized collections. Pack required resources, and provide any baked caches using relative paths. State the Blender version and any required add-ons in README.txt. Do not assume paid or separately installed tools are available.

Inspect the rendered result and the saved project. Fix obvious defects before delivery. Include a short README.txt describing how to open and use the file, controls, implementation choices, checks performed and honest limitations. Do not claim that an export or simulation was validated unless it was actually checked. Prioritize a complete coherent result over unnecessary detail.

ATTIC ASTRONOMER WORKSPACE - IMPROVEMENT BRIEF

You receive two files:
- flawed-attic-starter.blend: an editable Blender scene (created in Blender 5.2, Cycles, metric units)
- flawed-attic-before.png: a 1600 x 1000 render from the file's saved camera "Main_Camera"

The scene is an unfinished draft. Your job is to inspect the supplied editable scene and develop it into a convincing, polished version of the intended workspace described below.

INTENDED RESULT
A cozy small attic workspace belonging to a hobby astronomer, at blue hour. The room is about 4 x 3 m with a ceiling sloping from 2.8 m to 1.6 m and a circular window. Beneath the window stands a wooden desk with a chair, a small brass telescope on a tabletop tripod, an articulated desk lamp, books and a ceramic mug. A bookshelf, a potted plant and a rug complete the room. Through the window a simple twilight sky with distant hill silhouettes is visible.

The intended atmosphere is warm lamplight against cool evening light, with readable materials, believable construction and an inviting composition. The scene should hold up both in the final render and when someone opens the file and works with it.

WHAT TO DO
1. Inspect the provided .blend file itself, not only the before-render.
2. Decide what keeps the draft from the intended result and improve it directly in the file. Prioritise and choose methods on your own judgement.
3. Keep the file practical: separate, editable objects with meaningful names; self-contained procedural materials (no downloaded assets, external images or add-on dependencies); sensible collections; reasonable render time.
4. Keep the existing object "Main_Camera" at its current position, rotation and lens so the before/after comparison stays valid. If you think a different framing works better, add it as a second camera instead of changing Main_Camera. An additional camera does not replace the required comparison render from Main_Camera.

DELIVERABLES
- flawed-attic-improved.blend - the improved, editable scene
- flawed-attic-after.png - 1600 x 1000 render from the original Main_Camera, for direct comparison with flawed-attic-before.png
- optional: flawed-attic-after-alt-camera.png - 1600 x 1000 render from your additional camera, if you created one
- a short change log: what you found, what you changed, what you deliberately left as is, and anything you could not verify

Render the required after-image from the final saved .blend you deliver, using the unchanged Main_Camera, so the image and the delivered project match.

REUSABLE PROCEDURAL ROOFTOP — GEOMETRY NODES
Build an editable reusable Geometry Nodes asset in Blender that generates a pitched gable roof suitable for a stylized countryside cottage. The same node group must generate every example by changing exposed parameters; do not manually rebuild example roofs.

GEOMETRY
Include two roof slopes, overlapping rows of terracotta tiles, ridge caps, roof-edge trim, configurable eaves and optional chimneys. Tiles must be actual geometry or geometry instances rather than only a texture. Correctly orient tiles on each slope, support partial tiles at boundaries and cover the ridge without obvious holes. Some deliberate tile overlap is expected. Fit each chimney to the roof surface and omit or trim tiles where its shaft passes through. Add a small flashing collar around each chimney base.

EXPOSE THESE LABELED CONTROLS
- Building Width: 3–12 m, perpendicular to ridge.
- Building Length: 3–16 m, parallel to ridge.
- Roof Pitch: 20–55 degrees.
- Eave Overhang: 0.15–0.60 m.
- Tile Width: 0.18–0.40 m.
- Tile Length: 0.28–0.55 m.
- Weathering: 0–1, affecting restrained tile color variation and small surface irregularity without breaking roof coverage.
- Chimney Count: integer 0–3.
- Random Seed: integer, reproducibly controlling variation and valid chimney placement.
- Tile Material and Trim Material inputs.
Document units and any necessary input clamping. Use safe internal tile overlap. Prevent chimney overlap by distributing them along valid roof locations, and clamp their size if necessary on small roofs.

Building Width and Building Length describe the building footprint before overhang is added. Roof Pitch is measured from horizontal. Tile Width runs parallel to the ridge and Tile Length runs down the slope; these are nominal full-tile dimensions before overlap and boundary trimming. Use these conventions consistently in the controls and the three presets.

REUSABILITY
Changing width, length or tile size must recalculate row and column counts and edge treatment. Preserve believable tile dimensions instead of stretching a fixed roof mesh. Changing pitch must correctly update tile orientation, ridge and chimney intersections. The seed must reproduce the same result for identical settings. Use instancing where suitable for performance. Keep the node group organized into labeled frames and mark the reusable object as an asset.

The saved examples must remain live users of the reusable node group, with their preset values retained. The asset must be usable through its exposed controls without source-code edits or manual reconstruction of the example meshes.

DEMONSTRATE THREE PRESETS
1. Small cottage: width 4 m, length 5 m, pitch 45 degrees, overhang 0.30 m, tile width 0.24 m, tile length 0.36 m, weathering 0.25, 1 chimney, seed 11.
2. Long farmhouse: width 7 m, length 12 m, pitch 30 degrees, overhang 0.45 m, tile width 0.30 m, tile length 0.45 m, weathering 0.65, 3 chimneys, seed 22.
3. Broad clean roof: width 10 m, length 8 m, pitch 25 degrees, overhang 0.25 m, tile width 0.36 m, tile length 0.50 m, weathering 0.05, 0 chimneys, seed 33.
Mount examples on simple neutral building volumes for presentation. Arrange them so all three roofs can be inspected in one studio render, with consistent scale and lighting.

VALIDATION
Check all three presets and a small/steep and large/shallow combination within the specified ranges. Verify roof coverage, ridge alignment, stable chimney placement and deterministic seeds. State any parameter combinations that do not work instead of hiding them.

DELIVERABLES
- rooftop-generator.blend containing the reusable asset and three live procedural example objects sharing the same node group.
- rooftop-overview.png and rooftop-detail.png: two 1920 x 1080 PNGs, with all three presets visible in the overview and a close view of tile, ridge and chimney connections in the detail.
- README explaining controls, how to reuse the asset and any limitations.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

PROCEDURAL SPIRAL GALAXY — ANIMATED 3D VISUALIZATION

Create an impressive editable spiral-galaxy visualization in Blender, with a 12-second animation at 24 fps (frames 1–288). This is a procedural visual simulation with artistically compressed time and scale, NOT a scientific gravitational N-body benchmark. Clearly state this distinction in the README.

VISUAL TARGET
Build a luminous central bulge, four sweeping spiral arms, a thin stellar disk with finite thickness, darker dusty lanes and a restrained halo of scattered stars. Use warm ivory/gold near the core, cooler white/blue concentrations in the arms and subtle pink nebula accents. Keep individual stars subordinate to the galactic structure. The center should be bright without clipping into a featureless white blob. The scene is set against dark space with sparse distant background stars.

The core, arms and dust should read as one coherent luminous structure rather than an evenly scattered star field. Retain tonal and density variation through the central region, with enough contrast between arms and dust lanes for the spiral pattern to remain readable in the hero image and animation.

PROCEDURAL STRUCTURE
Use Geometry Nodes, a scripted generator, or a combination. Generate at least 20,000 efficiently represented stellar points/instances rather than thousands of separately managed mesh objects. Provide density falloff with radius, finite disk thickness, random scatter around the spiral arms and a reproducible random seed. Include dust that actually affects the rendered appearance using suitable geometry/materials or a manageable volume. A flat galaxy texture, image plane, background painting or pre-rendered movie is not acceptable.

EXPOSE CLEARLY LABELED CONTROLS
- Random Seed.
- Star Count (usable range at least 20,000–100,000).
- Galaxy Radius in artistic scene units.
- Arm Count (2–6).
- Arm Winding/Tightness.
- Disk Thickness.
- Core Size and Core Brightness.
- Dust Amount.
- Rotation Speed.
Describe units, intended ranges and how to regenerate if the setup uses a script. At minimum, a user must be able to change seed, arm count and radius without editing source code. Other controls may live in one clearly identified settings panel or node group.

Star Count refers to the generated stellar population of the galaxy, excluding the sparse distant background stars, dust and nebula elements. The main hero, animation and saved scene should represent the same main four-arm configuration; the second-seed and two-arm stills should be recognizably different settings of that same editable generator.

ANIMATION
Create subtle differential rotation: inner and outer stellar populations should not all rotate as one rigid object. Use a radius-dependent angular speed with a smooth bounded value near the core. Keep the total motion restrained enough that recognizable spiral structure survives the short demonstration; explain that this is an artistic approximation. Avoid discontinuities, frame-to-frame random reseeding and flickering point distribution.

The camera begins at an elevated oblique angle with the whole galaxy visible, then makes a smooth modest arc and lowers toward a shallower angle so the disk thickness becomes evident. Finish on a strong wide composition. Keep the galaxy within the frame, with no cuts or sudden jumps. Retain enough depth to reveal that this is genuinely a 3D scene.

TECHNICAL AND QUALITY CHECKS
Use efficient instancing/point rendering and controlled emission. Inspect several rendered frames for noise, flicker, blown highlights and disappearing stars. Verify that identical seeds produce identical geometry. Demonstrate a second seed and a two-arm configuration in additional still renders, then restore the main four-arm setup in the delivered scene. Save any required animation caches. Do not describe aesthetic orbit motion as physically validated astrophysics.

DELIVERABLES
- procedural-galaxy.blend with editable generator, controls, animation and camera.
- A 1920 x 1080 main hero PNG.
- Two additional PNGs demonstrating a second seed and a two-arm configuration.
- A complete 12-second animation preview at minimum 1280 x 720, MP4 or numbered PNG sequence.
- README.txt explaining controls, generation method, artistic motion model, performance choices and limitations.

POCKET PLANETARIUM — PRODUCT ANIMATION
Create an original miniature folding planetarium in Blender and present it in a polished 12-second product animation at 24 fps (frames 1–288).

DESIGN
The closed device is approximately 12 cm across: a rounded hexagonal midnight-blue metal housing with restrained brushed-brass trim, a visible lid seam and one small power button. It rests on a dark matte tabletop. Make the mechanism understandable: a hinged lid opens backward, three short support feet unfold from separate lower recesses, and a compact projector lens rises vertically from the center. All moving parts remain mechanically attached with visible hinges or guides. Leave clearance for the complete movement; the lid must not obstruct the lens or the display.

Above the lens, create a fictional luminous miniature solar-system display about 30 cm wide: one warm glowing central star, four distinct planets and thin orbital paths. Give one outer planet rings. This floating display is an intentional science-fiction visual effect, not a claim of a physically possible projector or an accurate astronomical simulation. Keep the device itself mechanically coherent. Orbital periods and planet sizes can be artistically compressed; avoid collisions. Planets must be 3D objects visible from changing camera angles.

ANIMATION
Frames 1–48: establish the closed device, then open the lid and unfold its support feet with controlled ease-in/ease-out motion.
Frames 49–96: raise the lens, illuminate the button and bring the star and orbital display into view gradually.
Frames 97–240: planets orbit at distinct speeds while the camera makes a restrained 35-degree arc around the product. Include gentle axial rotation and subtle emissive detail without overwhelming glare.
Frames 241–288: settle on a clean hero composition with the entire device and solar system visible; orbital motion continues.

LOOK
Premium imaginative industrial design, navy enamel, brushed brass, dark glass and restrained cyan/amber light. Use a warm key light, cool edge light and a dark blue studio background. Reflections should describe the surfaces clearly. No branding or text overlays. Avoid gratuitous gears, pipes or floating mechanical parts.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
Use a clear parent/constraint hierarchy and editable animation. Keep hinges at actual pivot points. Expose a master display-intensity control and a master orbit-speed control. Model and animate real geometry; do not use a flat video or image for the solar system.

The display-intensity control must allow a gradual change in illumination, consistent with the reveal in frames 49–96. The orbit-speed control must scale the distinct orbital speeds together while preserving their relative differences. Mechanical parts remain attached and retain their shape throughout the motion; the complete device, unfolded feet and entire display must fit within the final hero composition.

DELIVERABLES
- pocket-planetarium.blend with animation, camera, lights and materials.
- pocket-planetarium-hero.png: a 1920 x 1080 PNG of the final hero state.
- The complete 12-second preview at 24 fps, frames 1–288 inclusive, at a minimum of 1280 x 720, as MP4 or a complete consecutively numbered PNG sequence.
- README as described below.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Work in Blender and deliver an actual editable 3D scene, not just instructions or concept art. You may use Python to build the scene. Use your own geometry and procedural materials; do not download finished models or use generated images as substitutes for geometry. Keep objects, materials, collections and controls meaningfully named. Pack any required resources and include any simulation caches beside the file using relative paths.

MECHANICAL BLOSSOM LAMP — PRODUCT ANIMATION
Create an original functional-looking tabletop blossom lamp in Blender and a polished 12-second product animation at 24 fps (frames 1–288).

DESIGN
The lamp is approximately 35 cm tall with a stable circular weighted base, a short curved stem and a flower-shaped head. Use six broad rounded metal petals around a fixed frosted-glass central light. Petal exteriors are deep muted green enamel; interiors are warm brushed brass. Base and stem are dark satin metal. Include a discreet power cord exiting the rear of the base and a small physical switch on top of the base.

Each petal is attached at its lower end to a visible hinge around the central hub. All six petals open outward through approximately 55 degrees from their closed position, revealing the luminous glass center. Give each petal a short visible linkage connecting it to a shared actuator collar sliding along the stem axis near the head. Coordinate collar travel, linkage motion and hinge rotation as one coherent opening mechanism, with each rod attached at both ends throughout the animation. Design spacing so petals never intersect one another, the bulb or the stem. Closed petals form a loose protective bud around the glass with small intentional gaps; do not force impossible interlocking geometry.

ANIMATION
Frames 1–48: show the closed unlit lamp, with a gentle camera approach.
Frames 49–72: the switch moves and the central light begins to warm up.
Frames 73–168: the actuator collar moves and the six petals open smoothly together; the central light increases gradually.
Frames 169–240: hold the open blossom while the camera arcs about 30 degrees to reveal the mechanism and interior surfaces.
Frames 241–288: finish on a steady hero composition, fully open and warmly illuminated.

LOOK
Elegant botanical product design with believable manufacture, subtle bevels and restrained surface variation. Warm ivory studio surroundings, soft shadows and readable metal reflections. Let the lamp cast actual light onto nearby surfaces. No overexposure, text overlays or decorative mechanisms without a function.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
Use editable geometry and an organized rig. Expose one clearly named Bloom control that drives petal opening and the actuator linkage, plus a separate Light Intensity control. Place all hinge pivots correctly. Keyframed mechanical motion is appropriate; a physics simulation is not required.

DELIVERABLES
- blossom-lamp.blend with complete animation.
- Two 1920 x 1080 PNGs showing the same completed lamp in its closed, unlit state and its fully open, illuminated state.
- The complete 12-second preview at 24 fps (all frames 1–288), at a minimum of 1280 x 720, as MP4 or numbered PNG sequence.
- README as described below.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

VR HEADSET — EXPLODED VIEW AND REASSEMBLY

Create an original fictional standalone VR headset in Blender and present it in a polished 15-second exploded-view product animation at 24 fps, frames 1–360. Build the actual editable 3D scene and animation, not just a concept image or instructions.

DESIGN
Design a premium compact headset approximately 20 cm wide, 11 cm tall and 12 cm deep, excluding its straps. Use a warm-white matte polymer outer shell, charcoal fabric facial cushion and head straps, dark optical glass and restrained electric-blue accents. Include two front tracking-camera windows, a small side power button, a charging port and a top ventilation grille. No logos or text are required.

This is an original concept with a simplified, internally coherent architecture. Do not claim it reproduces a real commercial headset or has a validated optical/electronic design. Avoid gratuitous decorative components: every visible part must have an understandable place in the assembly.

ASSEMBLY — MODEL THESE AS DISTINCT COMPONENTS
From the user's face toward the outer front of the headset:
1. A removable fabric-covered facial cushion with a nose cutout and its supporting gasket frame.
2. A rear eyepiece housing with two eye openings and a matching nose clearance.
3. Two separate convex optical lenses held in opaque lens barrels, one per eye.
4. Two separate display modules, each aligned behind its corresponding lens along the viewing axis.
5. A rigid inner chassis with fitted seats supporting the lens and display modules.
6. A main circuit board with simplified but modeled chips, connectors and mounting holes, positioned above the optical channels so it does not block either display.
7. A compact heat spreader and vented cooling module above the circuit board.
8. A small battery module in a defined lower compartment, clear of the optical paths.
9. Two small camera modules aligned with the front tracking windows.
10. A removable front cover with the matching camera windows and ventilation features.
11. Left and right strap brackets, a rear fabric strap and a top strap, with clear physical attachment points.
12. At least four visible mounting screws with matching holes or bosses.

Model shell thickness, seams, mounting features and enough internal detail to make the exploded view informative. All components must fit inside the assembled enclosure. Avoid boards passing through optics, batteries occupying the same space as displays, or screws with nowhere to fasten. Use rounded edges and plausible manufacture. Electronic traces can be procedural textures; major components must be geometry.

Coordinate convention: local X is left/right, local Y runs from the wearer's face toward the front cover, and local Z is up. Keep the lenses and displays paired correctly. Maintain the same parts, shapes and materials throughout the animation.

EXPLOSION DESIGN
Use a main separation axis along local Y to reveal the front-to-back stack. Move the upper electronics and cooling assembly upward, the battery downward, and the strap assembly slightly backward and outward to prevent visual overlap. Withdraw mounting screws along their fastening axes before separating the shells. Use deliberate spacing and a modest stagger so viewers can follow the construction.

The exploded state must remain understandable: preserve lens/display alignment, avoid arbitrary rotations, and keep each component near its assembly axis. Rigid parts must not stretch, shrink, disappear or pass through one another. For straps, preserve believable shape using separate attachment groups or a controlled deformation; do not pull a rigid strap mesh through the shell.

Do not show cables tethering widely separated parts implausibly. You may omit internal wiring entirely as an explicit conceptual simplification. If you include wiring, show believable disconnection and avoid stretched connections. Document the choice.

ANIMATION — 15 SECONDS, 24 FPS
Frames 1–48: assembled hero shot, with a restrained camera arc showing the shell, cushion and straps.
Frames 49–168: withdraw screws, release the cover and cushion, then separate the internal subassemblies in an intelligible sequence. All parts remain visible.
Frames 169–240: hold the fully exploded state while the camera arcs about 25 degrees, revealing the optical stack and upper/lower electronics. Leave enough space between components to see their shapes.
Frames 241–336: reverse the process in a physically sensible order, seating internal parts before covers and screws. Return every part precisely to its assembled position.
Frames 337–360: settle on a clean assembled hero composition.

No camera cuts that hide transitions. Use controlled ease-in/ease-out motion. End in the same assembly configuration as the start. This is a mechanical presentation animation; rigid-body simulation is not required.

During the fully exploded hold, the optical stack, upper electronics and cooling, lower battery and strap attachments should each have a readable silhouette. Their spacing and alignment should make their relationship to the assembled headset understandable.

RIG AND EDITABILITY
- Organize the scene into clearly named component/subassembly collections.
- Preserve local component transforms using parent empties or an equivalent organized hierarchy.
- Provide one clearly named Explosion control from 0 (assembled) to 1 (fully exploded), driving the component offsets and their staggered timing. Keyframe this control for opening and reassembly. Keep camera motion separate.
- The Explosion control must work at intermediate values and in reverse without requiring a simulation cache or manual repositioning.
- Provide an assembled camera and an exploded inspection camera in addition to the animated camera if useful.

LOOK AND LIGHTING
Use a dark blue-gray studio background, soft broad key light and subtle edge lighting. Maintain readable contrast between white shells, black fabric, glass lenses and internal electronics. Make transparent optics visible through controlled reflections without turning them into opaque chrome. Use restrained bloom and keep the entire assembly in focus. Avoid labels, arrows and text overlays; component identity should come from geometry and placement.

The assembled and exploded views should feel like presentations of the same coherent product. Material response, edge definition and shading should preserve the distinction between solid shell, soft fabric, transparent optics and electronics at the intended product scale.

VALIDATION
Inspect Explosion at 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1. Check fit in the assembled state, intersecting parts during separation, optical alignment and composition in the exploded state. Confirm that all moving components return to their original transforms at the end. Inspect rendered frames from assembled, transitional and exploded states. Fix obvious clipping and accidental floating parts before delivery.

DELIVERABLES
- vr-headset-exploded-view.blend with complete geometry, materials, controls, animation, lights and cameras.
- Two 1920 x 1080 PNG renders: assembled hero and fully exploded view.
- The full 15-second animation preview at minimum 1280 x 720, as MP4 or a numbered PNG sequence.
- README.txt with the Blender version, instructions for the Explosion control, a component inventory, conceptual simplifications, checks performed and any known limitations.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Python automation is allowed. Build your own geometry and procedural materials; do not download a finished headset or use a reference image as a flat substitute for the model. Keep assets self-contained and pack any required external resources. Do not require paid add-ons. Save an editable file that opens and renders. Report incomplete requirements honestly. Prioritize coherent assembly, clear motion and strong presentation over invisible microscopic detail.

WINDY COTTAGE CLOTHESLINE — CLOTH SIMULATION
Use the attached clothesline-reference.png for the scene composition, materials, palette and atmosphere. Create an original warm countryside terrace scene in Blender and an 8-second cloth-simulation animation at 24 fps (192 delivered frames).

SCENE
Build the stone terrace, two wooden posts with visible supports, one continuous gently sagging clothesline, a low stone parapet, a partial rustic cottage at the left and a wicker laundry basket in the foreground. Add restrained potted plants and flowers. Simplified three-dimensional hills, trees and mountains can form the distant background. Match the airy warm daylight and pastoral animated-film atmosphere. Keep the camera almost still and all three hanging items clearly visible throughout.

CLOTH
Hang three separate items from left to right: an ivory rectangular bedsheet, a dusty-blue short-sleeved shirt and a terracotta long skirt. Use two clearly visible clothespins per item. Pin the sheet at its top corners, the shirt near its shoulders, and the skirt at two waistband locations. Model the shirt and skirt as garments with actual openings and joined fabric surfaces, not flat silhouette cutouts. Attachments must remain aligned with the clothesline.

The shirt has a neck opening, two sleeve openings and an open lower hem; the skirt has an open waist and hem. Their silhouettes, attachment points and openings must remain readable as the cloth moves.

Use Blender's actual cloth simulation on all three hanging items. The bedsheet should billow broadly, the lighter shirt should flutter in smaller folds, and the heavier skirt should have slower, weightier motion. Use appropriate mesh resolution and distinct physically motivated cloth settings. Provide enough clearance above the floor and between items. Enable suitable self-collision and collisions with nearby solid objects. No visible mesh explosions, persistent interpenetration or detached pin points.

WIND AND TIMING
Use a shared wind force field with mild turbulence so all items respond to the same environment without moving identically. Begin after a settling period. During delivered seconds 0–2 use a light breeze, seconds 2–5 a gradual stronger gust, and seconds 5–8 ease back to the original breeze. Bake the simulation including pre-roll; identify the exact 192-frame presentation range in the README. A perfect loop is not required. The rope may remain static with modeled sag; simulating it is optional. Do not replace cloth motion with shape keys or a looping displacement modifier.

These times are relative to the delivered presentation: time zero is its first frame, after pre-roll. The pre-roll is additional simulation time and must not replace any of the 192 delivered frames. The hero image must correspond to a state within that presentation range.

VISUAL PRIORITY
Keep fabric folds, readable pinning, realistic interaction and stable motion as the priority. The reference is a composition target, not a requirement to reproduce the exact instantaneous folds. Use actual lighting and materials with subtle fabric translucency. Avoid heavy depth of field that conceals simulation quality.

DELIVERABLES
- clothesline.blend and all required baked cache files with portable relative paths.
- clothesline-hero.png: a 1920 x 1080 hero PNG from the simulation.
- The complete 8-second preview at 24 fps, with all 192 presentation frames at a minimum of 1280 x 720, as MP4 or a complete consecutively numbered PNG sequence.
- README documenting simulation settings, cache location, pre-roll and playback range.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Work in Blender and deliver an actual editable 3D scene, not just instructions or concept art. You may use Python to build the scene. Use your own geometry and procedural materials; do not download finished models or use generated images as substitutes for geometry. Keep objects, materials, collections and controls meaningfully named. Pack any required resources and include any simulation caches beside the file using relative paths. State the Blender version used.
Inspect rendered output and fix obvious problems before delivering. Include a short README with how to open/play/use the result, the main controls and any incomplete requirements. Report limitations honestly. Prioritize a coherent finished result over excessive hidden detail.

ROBOT PICK-AND-PLACE — MECHANICAL ANIMATION AND PHYSICS

Create a polished tabletop robotics demonstration in Blender: an articulated robot picks up a cube, carries it to a ramp, releases it, and the cube slides down the ramp into a catch tray. Deliver a 12-second animation at 24 fps, frames 1–288.

DESIGN AND SCALE
Use metric units. The workbench is approximately 1.8 x 1.0 m. The robot has a fixed base, rotating shoulder assembly, upper arm, forearm, wrist and a parallel two-finger gripper. Use visible pivot housings and believable joint connections. Design the arm's reach and joint limits to suit the task. The cube is 0.10 m per side with slightly beveled edges. The ramp is approximately 0.55 m long and slopes downward by about 25 degrees, with low side rails. A shallow catch tray with a padded-looking interior sits at its lower end.

Place the initial cube on a raised pickup block, the ramp start within robot reach, and the tray clearly visible. Give the scene an original compact industrial-lab look: light warm-gray robot shells, dark joints, restrained blue details, and an orange cube. Use studio lighting, readable shadows and a three-quarter camera that shows the entire interaction. No logos or explanatory overlays are required.

ANIMATION
Frames 1–36: establish the setup; robot approaches the cube with its gripper open.
Frames 37–72: align the fingers on opposite sides and close them around the cube without visibly crushing or penetrating it.
Frames 73–144: lift and carry the cube in an arc to the upper end of the ramp, avoiding all obstacles.
Frames 145–168: lower it just above the ramp, open the gripper, and release it with a clean handoff to physics no later than frame 168. Physics-driven motion begins at the actual release frame.
Frames 169–240: the released cube continues under gravity, slides/tumbles down the ramp, collides with the tray and settles. The arm withdraws clear of the motion.
Frames 241–288: hold the completed state with the cube resting in the tray.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
- Build an editable armature or articulated hierarchy with proper joint pivots. Include a usable wrist target and gripper-open control; use IK where appropriate.
- Robot motion may be keyframed. For reliable pickup, constraining or animating the cube while held is allowed and must be documented. Do not claim that this is simulated frictional gripping.
- After release, the cube must be an active rigid body driven by actual Blender rigid-body physics. Ramp, rails, table and catch tray need appropriate passive collision geometry. Do not keyframe the cube's post-release journey.
- Set the release transform consistently so it does not jump, teleport or acquire an arbitrary velocity at handoff. The end of the held motion and the start of rigid-body motion must refer to the same world-space pose.
- Use suitable collision shapes, margins, solver quality, friction and restitution at the chosen real-world scale. Bake/cache the physics.
- Keep the arm, fingers and cube free of obvious intersections. Hide no failures with camera cuts or off-screen transitions.

VALIDATION
Play the whole sequence from its start and inspect approach, grip, release, ramp contact and final resting state. Verify that the saved file plus included cache reproduces the motion. Explain the exact release frame and how the handoff was implemented. Document whether the cube was constraint-driven or animated while held.

DELIVERABLES
- robot-physics.blend and any required cache files.
- One 1920 x 1080 hero PNG.
- A complete 12-second preview at 24 fps (all frames 1–288), at minimum 1280 x 720, MP4 or numbered PNG sequence.
- README.txt.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Create the actual editable Blender project, not only a plan or code listing. Python automation is allowed. Build your own geometry and procedural materials; do not download finished models or substitute generated images for 3D geometry. Use meaningful names and organized collections. Pack required resources, and provide any baked caches using relative paths. State the Blender version and any required add-ons in README.txt. Do not assume paid or separately installed tools are available.

Inspect the rendered result and the saved project. Fix obvious defects before delivery. Include a short README.txt describing how to open and use the file, controls, implementation choices, checks performed and honest limitations. Do not claim that an export or simulation was validated unless it was actually checked. Prioritize a complete coherent result over unnecessary detail.

GLITCH ORCHARD VTUBER — CHARACTER MODEL, RIG AND ANIMATION

Create an original adult anime woman as a full-body 3D VTuber character in Blender. You must MODEL, RIG AND ANIMATE her. A static character, a turntable without character motion, or an unweighted skeleton is not sufficient. The character should look expressive, friendly and slightly mischievous: a host for creative AI experiments.

EXACT CHARACTER DESIGN
Age appearance: clearly adult, approximately mid-20s. Height: approximately 1.65 m, with stylized anime proportions around 6.5 heads tall. Slim-to-average build, natural relaxed posture, modest practical clothing. Warm light-beige skin, softly rounded face, small nose, defined but subtle lips, large expressive eyes and clean dark upper eyelashes.

Palette: white #FFFFFF as the dominant clothing color; neon pink #FF2D95 and electric blue #246BFF as saturated accents; ink #171725 for dark areas. Enter these as sRGB material colors with correct conversion if using code. Lighting may change their rendered appearance. Skin, mouth and metal fasteners may use appropriate natural supporting colors. Do not introduce additional dominant accent colors.

Hair: ink-colored shoulder-length bob with a clean rounded silhouette, layered ends, side-swept bangs and two longer face-framing locks. On the CHARACTER'S LEFT, add one broad neon-pink front streak running from roots to tip. On the CHARACTER'S RIGHT, add a slimmer electric-blue streak. All left/right directions are the character's own anatomical sides, not the viewer's. Add a small original pink plum-shaped hair clip with a blue leaf above her left temple, using simple modeled shapes rather than relying on an external logo file. Keep eyebrows and eyes visible.

Eyes: character's left iris is neon pink; right iris is electric blue. Both have dark pupils, clear highlights and a restrained anime gradient. Create actual eyelid geometry or deformable eyelid surfaces that can fully close over the eyes.

Outfit: a waist-length white bomber jacket, worn open over an ink-colored high-neck top. Jacket has a slightly raised collar, ink cuffs and hem, a pink stripe on the left sleeve and a blue stripe on the right sleeve. Add two slim offset pink/blue bars on the left chest as a subtle glitch motif. Use fitted ink high-waisted shorts reaching mid-thigh, opaque ink tights, and white ankle boots with dark soles. The left boot has a pink accent tab; the right boot has a blue accent tab. Hands are bare and each has five individually articulated fingers. Keep the silhouette readable and avoid loose decorations that make tracking difficult. No text or lettering.

MODEL AND MATERIALS
Build a complete 3D body and outfit with clean, deformation-friendly geometry, suitable edge flow around shoulders, elbows, knees, hips, fingers, mouth and eyes. Clothing may use separate meshes with enough clearance for animation. Build modeled hair clumps with readable layers and dedicated motion bones. Use a consistent attractive cel-shaded/anime look with controlled highlights; do not flatten the character into image planes. Model basic inner-mouth geometry, upper/lower teeth and tongue so open-mouth expressions do not reveal a hollow head. Avoid hidden geometry poking through clothing.

BODY RIG — REQUIRED
- Weighted humanoid skeleton: root, hips, spine, chest, neck, head, clavicles, upper/lower arms, hands, upper/lower legs, feet and toes.
- Individual finger chains with curl controls.
- Usable arm and leg IK controls with pole targets, plus a gaze target.
- Separate controls or bones for bob hair and the two front locks; optional spring motion may be baked for delivery.
- Meaningful bone/control names, sensible hierarchy, clean neutral A-pose and resettable control transforms. This A-pose is the reference pose for the rig and the neutral-pose renders; the demo's relaxed standing poses may differ from it.
- Skin weights must deform the actual character, clothing and hair appropriately. Do not merely parent rigid limbs to bones.

FACE RIG — REQUIRED
Provide independent left/right blinks, eyebrows, eye aim, jaw opening and mouth shapes. Include clearly named shape keys or equivalent independent facial controls for Neutral, Happy, Angry, Sad, Surprised, Blink_L, Blink_R, A, I, U, E and O. Combine mouth shapes, eye movement and expression without catastrophic clipping. Keep the neutral base mesh usable and symmetric where the design is symmetric. A smile must not depend only on rotating the whole head.

DEMO ANIMATION — REQUIRED
Create 12 seconds at 24 fps (frames 1–288), demonstrating the completed character rig:
Frames 1–48: relaxed standing idle with subtle breathing, a natural blink and eye contact with camera.
Frames 49–120: raise her right arm and wave twice, with a readable shoulder/elbow arc and slight finger movement; smile while waving.
Frames 121–192: lower the arm and turn her head about 20 degrees left and right while gaze remains controlled. Transition from curious/surprised expression to a warm smile. Add restrained hair follow-through without hair crossing the face.
Frames 193–264: animate A, I, U, E and O mouth shapes in a clearly visible short sequence, with subtle head movement and another blink. This is a silent viseme demonstration, not claimed audio synchronization.
Frames 265–288: return to a friendly neutral pose.
Include a full-body render camera and an additional face close-up camera. Keep movement anatomically plausible and feet planted. Do not conceal broken hands or deformations by cropping them out.

VALIDATION
Inspect elbows, shoulders, wrists, finger bends, hips and knees in representative poses, and inspect blinks and open-mouth shapes up close. Verify that clothes remain outside the skin, eyelids close and eyes stay in their sockets. Return the rig to its neutral pose successfully. Provide a short checklist of implemented rig and expression controls.

DELIVERABLES
- glitch-orchard-vtuber.blend containing the complete model, body/face rig, materials, demo action and cameras.
- A 1920 x 1080 full-body beauty PNG and a separate 1920 x 1080 face close-up PNG.
- Front, side and back renders of the same neutral A-pose, which may be combined into one character sheet.
- Two complete 12-second previews at 24 fps (frames 1–288), each at minimum 1280 x 720: one full-body preview and one face-close-up preview of the same action with matching frame timing.
- README.txt with rig instructions, expression/viseme mapping and known limitations.
A runtime-specific VTuber export is optional, not a substitute for the required Blender deliverables. If you provide VRM or another export, name the format/version and validate it by re-importing or loading it. Do not claim live tracking or application compatibility from a working Blender rig alone.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Create the actual editable Blender project, not only a plan or code listing. Python automation is allowed. Build your own geometry and procedural materials; do not download finished models or substitute generated images for 3D geometry. Use meaningful names and organized collections. Pack required resources, and provide any baked caches using relative paths. State the Blender version and any required add-ons in README.txt. Do not assume paid or separately installed tools are available.

Inspect the rendered result and the saved project. Fix obvious defects before delivery. Include a short README.txt describing how to open and use the file, controls, implementation choices, checks performed and honest limitations. Do not claim that an export or simulation was validated unless it was actually checked. Prioritize a complete coherent result over unnecessary detail.

GLITCH ORCHARD ENERGY — PHOTOREALISTIC PRODUCT COMMERCIAL

Create an original fictional energy-drink brand extension called GLITCH ORCHARD ENERGY and produce a finished 15-second photorealistic commercial in Blender at 24 fps, frames 1–360. This must feel like a deliberately directed beverage advertisement: strong product identity, appetizing tactile details, controlled pacing and a memorable final packshot. It is not merely a rotating can or an exploded view.

PRODUCT AND PACKAGING
Model a slim 330 ml aluminum can approximately 14.5 cm tall and 5.8 cm in diameter. Include a believable rolled top rim, recessed lid, scored but unopened tear panel, ring pull, base concavity and fine manufacturing bevels. Keep the can sealed throughout the spot.

Flavor concept: PLUM + YUZU. The label is predominantly satin white with an ink #171725 wordmark, a bold offset neon-pink #FF2D95 band and a narrower electric-blue #246BFF band. Preserve white as the dominant label area; use the saturated colors as deliberate accents. Add an original small plum-shaped emblem with a leaf and a restrained offset glitch slice. No existing external logo asset is required.

Required readable label text, exactly:
GLITCH ORCHARD
ENERGY
PLUM + YUZU
330 ml

Use an original clean geometric sans-serif layout, with GLITCH ORCHARD largest, ENERGY secondary and the flavor smaller. Build the typography as a high-resolution label texture or suitable surface geometry, correctly wrapped without mirrored text, broken kerning or a visible front seam. Use a font available in the environment and pack it where permitted. No nutrition panel or claims about health, performance, caffeine content or sugar content are required. This is fictional packaging.

ART DIRECTION
Premium, crisp, cold and energetic. Photorealistic aluminum, satin printed ink, tiny condensation beads and subtle brushed metal on the lid. Combine a dark-ink studio environment with large white reflection cards, a restrained pink light on one side and blue light on the other. The label must remain predominantly neutral white and legible, rather than washed entirely in colored light.

Use fresh purple plums, one cut plum with visible flesh and pit, and a cut yellow yuzu as flavor cues. Model plausible fruit shapes and materials. Include a few clear ice pieces on the ground for the final shot, with slight meltwater and natural surface imperfections. Avoid turning the set into a pile of ingredients. All hero props must be three-dimensional.

COMMERCIAL SHOT LIST
Frames 1–60, 2.5 seconds: extreme macro reveal of the cold can surface. A soft reflection sweeps across condensation and a portion of the colored label. Shallow depth of field is appropriate, but at least part of the surface must be tack sharp.
Frames 61–132, 3 seconds: close shot of the lid, rim and ring pull, moving down toward the wordmark. A clean camera move and traveling highlight reveal the manufactured detail. Keep the can sealed.
Frames 133–228, 4 seconds: hero action shot. The can turns slowly in a controlled studio suspension while a small amber beverage splash arcs behind and around its lower half. Fruit elements can move in a restrained choreographed arc with sensible trajectories. Keep the front wordmark readable for a meaningful portion of the shot. No objects may pass through the can.
Frames 229–300, 3 seconds: cut to the can already standing upright on a dark, subtly reflective plinth with fruit and a few ice pieces at its base. Camera gently pushes toward the product; condensation catches the rim light. Do not imply a physical landing unless you actually animate it plausibly.
Frames 301–360, 2.5 seconds: stable final packshot with the whole can visible, readable packaging and ample negative space. Overlay exact copy: 'GLITCH ORCHARD ENERGY' and, below it, 'A little unexpected.' End with a composed frame, not a fade that obscures the product.

SIMULATION AND MOTION
The commercial is judged on photorealism and directing, not fluid-solver choice. The splash may be a real baked liquid simulation or convincingly animated three-dimensional liquid geometry. State which method you used. Give liquid appropriate thickness, irregular edges, droplets and reflections/refraction. Do not use a flat stock splash or claim a procedural mesh is a fluid simulation. Condensation may use instanced geometry; vary bead sizes and density and avoid oversized uniform spheres. Keep rigid can geometry undeformed. Use intentional camera cuts, smooth motion and appropriate motion blur without smearing the typography.

LIGHTING AND RENDERING
Use physically based materials, suitable transmission/refraction and sufficient sampling for stable glass, liquid, condensation and metal. Control highlights and color management. The spot should have consistent exposure and grading across cuts. Preserve surface detail; no excessive bloom, artificial outlines, painterly shading or obvious low-poly edges. Realistic camera optics should support the product rather than conceal defects.

AUDIO
Deliver a polished silent visual commercial; audio is not required and its absence must not be treated as unfinished. Do not add unlicensed music. If optional original audio is added, also deliver the silent version.

VALIDATION
Inspect label readability, macro surface quality, every shot boundary, splash intersections, moving reflections and the final packshot. Check that condensation and liquid do not flicker between frames and the can remains the same design in every shot.

DELIVERABLES
- energy-drink-commercial.blend with editable product, set, materials, camera shots, animation and final text treatment. Use timeline camera markers or an equivalent reproducible shot setup.
- A complete edited 15-second 1920 x 1080 commercial as MP4. If encoding is unavailable, provide the full numbered PNG sequence and assembly instructions.
- Two 1920 x 1080 PNG stills from the commercial: the final packshot and one macro detail.
- Required fluid caches, if a simulation was used.
- README.txt with shot ranges, render instructions, splash method and limitations.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Create the actual editable Blender scene and requested renders, not only a plan or script. Python automation is allowed. Use meaningful names and collections, real-world scale and a reproducible rendering setup. Build the main subject geometry yourself; no downloaded finished scenes or hero models. Licensed material textures and HDRIs are allowed if available: document their sources and licenses, pack permitted dependencies, and provide a procedural fallback if access is unavailable. Do not replace scene geometry with a generated image, projected photograph or finished background plate. Procedural textures and instanced geometry are encouraged.

State the Blender version and render engine. Pack external resources and include necessary caches with relative paths. The saved project must reproduce the commercial and stills in their delivered final state. Inspect saved files and rendered results, fixing obvious errors before delivery. Document controls, how to reproduce outputs, sources, checks and remaining limitations in README.txt. Do not claim deliverables or validation that you did not complete.

CABIN IN THE WOODS — PHOTOREALISTIC ENVIRONMENT

Create an original photorealistic woodland cabin scene in Blender. The target is a convincing architectural photograph taken in a real forest, with credible construction, natural vegetation, restrained weathering and carefully observed light. Do not produce a stylized diorama, cartoon forest or fantasy illustration.

SETTING AND MOOD
A small timber cabin sits in a quiet mixed conifer-and-birch forest just after light rain in early autumn. It is late afternoon under a broken overcast sky: soft cool ambient light, a faint warm break in the clouds, and gentle warm interior light visible through the windows. The environment should feel inhabited and peaceful, with small signs of use but no people, animals, vehicles or text.

CABIN
Build a plausible single-storey cabin, approximately 6 x 8 m in footprint, with a pitched dark standing-seam metal roof, a modest covered wooden porch and three steps leading from a worn path. Use vertical timber siding, proper corner trims, a front door, two generously sized glazed windows, gutters, a downpipe and a modest chimney with believable flashing. Support the porch and cabin on a visible, sensible stone or concrete foundation. Roof, porch posts, steps and walls must connect coherently.

Give the walls and roof thickness, windows actual frames and glass, and doors proper depth. Model roof seams and major boards rather than representing every feature with a flat texture. Weathering should follow exposure and gravity: slight darkening near the base, restrained streaking beneath runoff points and more wear on the steps. Avoid randomly spreading identical dirt over every surface.

Include enough actual interior geometry to make the windows convincing: a small table, chair, warm pendant light and simple wall/floor surfaces. No complete furnished interior is required. Avoid glowing opaque window planes and reflections that imply an impossible interior.

FOREST AND GROUND
Build a scene footprint of roughly 30 x 30 m around the cabin, with enough layered background vegetation to avoid exposing the set boundary in any of the three required views. Use an irregular terrain surface, a narrow compacted-earth path, moss, grasses, fallen leaves, twigs, a few stones and exposed roots. Include at least three visibly distinct tree forms with varied size, age, rotation and branching. Use denser background instancing where appropriate. Avoid a uniform grid, repeated identical silhouettes or trees emerging from the porch.

Ground should be damp with a few small shallow puddles in natural depressions. Vary roughness and wetness; do not make the entire forest a polished mirror. Blend soil, leaf litter, roots and moss at plausible scales. Give tree bark and wood grain directionally correct textures. Scatter small plants according to light, paths and available space rather than evenly everywhere.

STORY DETAILS
Add a small stack of split firewood beneath the porch cover, a simple outdoor chair and muddy wear near the entrance. Keep the composition restrained. These details should suggest use without distracting from the architecture.

CAMERA AND COMPOSITION
Main photograph: eye height about 1.5–1.7 m, a natural 35–50 mm full-frame-equivalent field of view, three-quarter view of the cabin, with the path guiding the eye toward the entrance. Use foreground vegetation sparingly for depth while keeping the cabin recognizable. Keep verticals largely vertical and avoid extreme wide-angle distortion. Let the forest frame the building rather than conceal it.

Second photograph: closer porch-side angle showing siding, wet steps, window glass and realistic construction detail.
Third photograph: a wider environmental view showing how the same cabin sits in the surrounding forest. All three images must depict the same completed cabin and forest, with the same weather, material state and time of day.

LIGHT AND MATERIALS
Use realistic indirect light and restrained volumetric atmosphere only if it improves depth. Fog must not hide unfinished geometry or flatten the whole image. Balance warm interior light against cool outdoor light without neon-orange windows. Preserve realistic timber, metal, stone and foliage response. Use subtle imperfections, correct texture scale and enough geometry for convincing silhouettes and contact shadows. Avoid excessive bloom, heavy vignette, crunchy sharpening and overly shallow depth of field.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
Use efficient instances for vegetation while maintaining variation. Organize cabin, interior, trees, understory, ground, props, lights and cameras in separate collections. Keep the scene navigable and editable. Photorealism must come from geometry, materials, lighting and composition; no photo backdrop or camera-projected finished forest. Animation is not required.

VALIDATION
Inspect at full image resolution: ground contact, roof/wall/porch joins, glass and interior visibility, texture scale, repeated vegetation patterns, shadow noise and obvious intersections. Verify that the scene works from all three required camera positions and not only one flattering view. Fix accidental set boundaries visible in camera.

DELIVERABLES
- cabin-in-the-woods.blend with complete editable environment, cameras and lighting.
- Three 2560 x 1440 PNG renders of the same completed scene: main architectural view, porch/material detail and wider environmental view.
- README.txt with render settings, scene organization, material/resource sources, performance choices, checks performed and limitations.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Create the actual editable Blender scene and requested renders, not only a plan or script. Python automation is allowed. Use meaningful names and collections, real-world scale and a reproducible rendering setup. Build the main subject geometry yourself; no downloaded finished scenes or hero models. Licensed material textures and HDRIs are allowed if available: document their sources and licenses, pack permitted dependencies, and provide a procedural fallback if access is unavailable. Do not replace scene geometry with a generated image, projected photograph or finished background plate. Procedural textures and instanced geometry are encouraged.

State the Blender version and render engine. Pack external resources and include necessary caches with relative paths. The saved project must reproduce all three delivered views in their final state. Inspect saved files and rendered results, fixing obvious errors before delivery. Document controls, how to reproduce outputs, sources, checks and remaining limitations in README.txt. Do not claim deliverables or validation that you did not complete.

V2 MATERIAL REWORK - TASKS 12 AND 13

Create a separate V2 of both Task 12 (Energy Drink Commercial) and Task 13 (Cabin in the Woods), using suitable free material textures downloaded from the web to improve material realism and overall visual quality. Retain each task's original subject, art direction, editable 3D construction and required deliverables. All requirements in the original task briefs remain in force; this follow-up does not replace them.

PRESERVE V1
Preserve a recoverable copy of each current V1 project, its delivered outputs and any dependencies or caches needed to reproduce it. Keep the original files intact. Save V2 projects and outputs separately so the two versions remain clearly identifiable.

TEXTURES AND RIGHTS
Use textures explicitly released under CC0 or an equivalent public-domain dedication permitting use, modification and redistribution with the project without licence fees or an attribution requirement. A label such as "free download" or "royalty-free" alone is not sufficient. Record the original asset source and its licence evidence. Do not buy assets or use files with unclear rights.

Use material textures where they suit the scene. The main subjects and environment remain actual editable 3D geometry; downloaded finished models, scenes or background photographs must not replace them. Preserve the original briefs' resource-packing and procedural-fallback requirements. If no suitable eligible texture is available for a surface, retain or create a procedural material and state that choice honestly.

V2 DELIVERY
Deliver both editable V2 Blender projects and their required outputs. Task 12 retains its complete 15-second commercial at 24 fps, frames 1-360, with the original 1920 x 1080 commercial and still-image requirements. Task 13 retains all three 2560 x 1440 views of the same finished scene. Keep the original briefs' permitted output alternatives and other requirements unchanged.

In each V2 README, summarize the changes, identify which downloaded assets were actually used, list their source and licence, describe the work and checks actually completed, and state remaining limitations. Include the dependencies needed to reopen and reproduce the delivered V2.
