Stunning viral animation breaks the fourth wall (and Blender's UI)

Blender is one of our favourite pieces of software for 3D animation (see our Blender 4.1 review), but it's surprisingly delightful to see a Blender creation break the fourth wall and trash the software's UI.

That's what happens in a viral animation from Japanese 3D modelling artist Kensyouen_Y. The piece starts with an artist working on an anime girl, only for the character to take on a life of her own. She leans out over the UI and starts playing with the settings herself, changing her clothes and then whipping through changes in hair colour by treating colour wheels like a set of turntables, eventually causing Blender to crash.
