🤖 MCP Gallery Clip: Source Prompt

This is the natural-language prompt used to drive the bowl-and-spheres clip on the Gallery page. It was sent verbatim to the agent; the agent then planned and executed every step through the add-on’s MCP server. Nothing in Blender was clicked by hand.

Prompt

Bowl and Spheres Physics Simulation Setup

1. Make a hemisphere bowl at the center.

2. Apply some thickness with Solidify modifier.

3. Make the hemispher 3x larger.

4. Reduce the thickness one third.

5. Make this as a static object.

6. Apply the modifier and bake to the mesh.

7. Make 8 spheres at the center above the bowl with some clearance each other.

8. Add these eight spheres as dynamic solids.

9. Now simulate this configuration.

Detailed Implementation Steps:

1. Create hemisphere bowl:

   • Create UV sphere at center (0,0,0) with radius 1

   • Remove upper hemisphere (vertices with Z >= 0) to create bowl shape

   • Name object “HemisphereBowl”

2. Add thickness:

   • Apply Solidify modifier with 0.1 thickness

   • Set offset to 0 for even distribution

   • Enable even thickness option

3. Scale up:

   • Scale object by 3x in all dimensions

4. Reduce thickness:

   • Reduce Solidify thickness to 1/3 of original (~0.033)

5. Configure as static:

   • Create dynamics group

   • Set group type to “STATIC”

   • Add HemisphereBowl to the group

6. Bake modifier:

   • Apply Solidify modifier to mesh permanently

7. Create spheres:

   • Create 8 icospheres (not UV spheres) with 0.5 radius

   • Two layers of 4 spheres each

   • First layer: 2x2 grid pattern above bowl at height 1.0

   • Second layer: 2x2 grid pattern above bowl at height 3.0

   • Use at least 0.2 clearance between spheres

   • Name them Sphere_1 through Sphere_8

8. Configure spheres as dynamic:

   • Create second dynamics group

   • Set group type to “SOLID”

   • Add all 8 spheres to the group

9. Run simulation:

   • Connect to server (use existing SSH configuration)

   • Transfer scene data to solver

   • Start simulation

   • Monitor progress until completion

   • Fetch animation results

Result: Physics simulation of 8 spheres falling into a static hemisphere bowl under gravity.

The prompt is reproduced verbatim, including the original spelling (“hemispher”). The agent fills in the details that the prompt leaves implicit (mesh resolution, exact sphere placement, solver parameters) by calling MCP tools in sequence.
