Blender Computer-Use Isolated Virtual Machine & MCP Server

An isolated, GPU-partitioned local Windows 11 Virtual Machine environment connected via Model Context Protocol (MCP) specifically engineered for AI coding agents to perform automated Blender UI testing, user-story validation, and Computer-Use workflows without disturbing your host desktop.

2. Key Features

  • Zero Host Disturbance: Synthetic mouse movements, drags, clicks, and keystrokes are executed exclusively inside the guest OS. Your real cursor and window focus remain completely untouched.

  • Hardware-Accelerated GPU Rendering: NVIDIA GPU-PV gives the guest VM near-native access to the host RTX 4080 Super (DirectX 12, Vulkan, OpenGL, and CUDA/OptiX).

  • Deterministic 1080p Display: Open-source Virtual Display Driver (IddSampleDriver) locks the virtual screen to 1920x1080 @ 60Hz with 100% (96 DPI) scaling—preventing coordinate drift and sleeping monitors.

  • Hybrid Multimodal Feedback: Agents receive:

    1. Visual: Framebuffer screenshots with optional coordinate grid overlays.

    2. Analytical: Windows UI Automation tree, bounding boxes, and window responsiveness.

    3. Deep Telemetry: Blender bpy state, active modifiers, node tree connections, and real-time stdout/stderr logs.

  • Sub-2-Second State Rollback: Fast Hyper-V snapshot restoration resets the VM to a clean golden base after destructive or experimental runs.

4. Setup & Installation Guide

Step 1: Provision the VM on Host (PowerShell as Administrator)

cd C:\tmp\blender-cu-vm\scripts
.\setup_vm_gpupv.ps1 -VMName "Blender-CU-VM" -MemoryBytes 8GB -ProcessorCount 8

Step 2: Stage NVIDIA GPU-PV Drivers

.\stage_gpupv_drivers.ps1 -VMName "Blender-CU-VM" -Mode "Stage"

Step 3: Install Guest OS & Run Environment Setup

Inside the guest VM (via PowerShell as Administrator):

# 1. Install GPU-PV drivers from staged directory
C:\Temp\NvidiaDrivers\install_gpupv_guest.bat

# 2. Configure Virtual Display & Auto-Logon
.\setup_virtual_display.ps1 -TargetWidth 1920 -TargetHeight 1080

# 3. Start Guest Daemon on boot
python C:\blender-cu-vm\guest\guest_daemon.py

Step 4: Create the Golden Base Snapshot

.\manage_golden_snapshot.ps1 -VMName "Blender-CU-VM" -SnapshotName "golden_base" -Action "Create"

5. Connecting AI Coding Agents via MCP

Add the following to your ~/.claude.json or ~/.omp/agent/config.yml:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "blender-cu-vm": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": [
        "C:\\tmp\\blender-cu-vm\\host\\mcp_server.py"
      ],
      "env": {
        "BLENDER_VM_NAME": "Blender-CU-VM",
        "BLENDER_GUEST_URL": "http://192.168.122.100:8000"
      }
    }
  }
}
