set_texture
Apply downloaded Polyhaven textures to objects in Blender for realistic material application in 3D scenes.
Instructions
Apply a previously downloaded Polyhaven texture to an object.
Parameters:
- object_name: Name of the object to apply the texture to
- texture_id: ID of the Polyhaven texture to apply (must be downloaded first)
Returns a message indicating success or failure.Input Schema

Implementation Reference
- src/blender_mcp/server.py:467-524 (handler)The handler function for the 'set_texture' MCP tool. It connects to Blender via socket, sends a 'set_texture' command with object_name and texture_id parameters, processes the response, and returns a detailed status message including material information and node details.
