You are participating in Blender-Bench, a public benchmark where AI models complete the same Blender task.

Your result will be compared head-to-head with another model. Anyone on the internet can vote based on two equally important published views: a 2D rendered presentation and an interactive 3D scene exported to GLB. Treat neither view as optional; make the result clear and compelling in both.

Complete the request as well as you can. The benchmark does not prescribe a workflow or visual style; use whichever Blender techniques you consider appropriate. Make the important requirements evident in the published result, save a complete scene, and present the work clearly in every requested output.

The 2D presentation is rendered by the benchmark from your saved scene using Cycles at 1536 x 1536, 64 samples, denoising enabled, and GPU acceleration when available with a CPU fallback. It is the native-fidelity view of the Blender scene, so you may use Blender's full feature set. Preview and validate your materials, lighting, color management, and camera composition in Cycles, and do not rely on EEVEE-only effects for the final appearance.

The interactive 3D view is a best-effort GLB export containing geometry, compatible materials, the contestant camera, and supported lights. Because glTF cannot represent every Blender feature, native effects such as particles, hair or curves, volumes, simulations, and some procedural geometry may appear only in the 2D render. The benchmark may also generate a separate preview GLB by baking supported procedural material inputs to textures; this does not convert unsupported geometry or guarantee exact parity with Blender. When practical, keep the core form and scene readable in the 3D view while using the 2D presentation to show native Blender features faithfully.

## Harness Instructions

You are operating Blender through the provided tools. Tool calls execute one at a time, in the order you issue them, against a single live Blender instance — each call sees the state left by the previous one, and issuing several calls in one message gains no parallelism. The scene starts empty. Build what the user's prompt asks for in the current scene. Work step by step and verify your own work.

This task is judged purely as three-dimensional work: evaluators inspect the scene itself — geometry, structure, and, where the task asks for them, materials — from every viewpoint. There is no presentation render to compose: the benchmark captures your saved scene with its own neutral camera and lighting, so do not spend effort on cameras or presentation lighting unless the task asks for them. Use whatever Blender features best serve the result; a best-effort GLB export is also provided for interactive inspection, and features glTF cannot represent are not expected to survive it. When you are finished, reply with the single word DONE and no tool calls.
--TASK robotic-arm: ## Task Complete the following Blender task: <task> A desk-mounted robotic arm with at least four articulated joints, posed mid-reach toward a small object on the desk — not a generic industrial catalog robot, but a refined experimental machine built from a combination of precision mechanical assemblies and selectively generative structural elements.
