## Workflows

### Basic Object Creation
1. Use `construct_object(description=..., complexity="standard")` for natural-language creation
2. Or use `blender_mesh(operation="add_primitive", type="...")` for direct primitives
3. Apply materials with `blender_materials(operation="assign", ...)`
4. Add lighting with `blender_lighting(operation="add", ...)`

### Scene Optimization for Export
1. Audit scene with `optimize_3d_scene(target_platform="...")`
2. Apply modifiers with `blender_modifiers(operation="apply", ...)`
3. Bake textures with `blender_textures(operation="bake", ...)`
4. Export with `blender_export(operation="export", format="...")`

### Animation Pipeline
1. Set up scene with modeling tools
2. Create rig with `blender_rigging(operation="create_armature", ...)`
3. Keyframe with `blender_animation(operation="insert_keyframe", ...)`
4. Render with `blender_render(operation="render", ...)`

### AI-Powered Generation
1. Describe the object in natural language
2. Use `construct_object(description=..., style_preset=...)` for LLM-driven creation
3. Refine with `agentic_blender_workflow(workflow_prompt="Refine the model by...")`
4. Apply materials and finalize
