Key quotes

Claude can't replace taste or imagination, but it can open up new ways of working—faster and more ambitious ideation, a more expansive skill set, and the ability for creatives to take on larger-scale projects.
Because the connector is built on MCP, it is accessible to other LLMs in addition to Claude, a reflection of Blender's commitment to open source and interoperability.
