Maybe at one time, but it absolutely understands images now. In VSCode Copilot, I am working on a python app that generates mesh files that are imported in a blender project. I can take a screenshot of what the mesh file looks like and ask Claude code questions about the object, in context of a Blender file. It even built a test script that would generate the mesh and import it into the Blender project, and render a screenshot. It built me a vscode Task to automate the entire workflow and then compare image to a mock image. I found its understanding of the images almost spooky.

100% confirm Opus 4.5 is very image smart.
