Usage Patterns

Orchestrated Execution

The blender-director skill analyzes your request and routes automatically:

# Hard Surface Asset
"Build a game-ready sci-fi rifle for Unreal Engine, 3k tris, realistic PBR"
→ blender-director → hard-surface → uv-workflow → materials → asset-optimization → export-pipeline

# Environment
"Create a modular horror corridor kit — narrow, flickering fluorescent, Silent Hill feel"
→ blender-director → horror-style → environment-artist → lighting → export-pipeline

# Character
"Retopologize this creature sculpt for game animation, 15k triangle budget"
→ blender-director → retopology → uv-workflow → texture-workflow → rigging

Reference Image Matching

Attach a photo or concept art and the agent matches it:

"Match this reference — industrial spaceship, analyze first then build in Blender"
→ blender-director → reference-image-match
  → Camera match → Geometry tiers → Materials → Lighting → Screenshot comparison loop

Blender MCP

Every skill executes directly in Blender via MCP — no UI walkthroughs, no manual steps.

Blender (running) ← BlenderMCP addon ← Cursor / Claude Code / Kiro / Codex

Setup in 4 steps:

1. Install uv
2. Install the BlenderMCP addon in Blender
3. Blender sidebar N → BlenderMCP → Connect to Claude
4. Restart your agent — Cursor ships .cursor/mcp.json; Claude Code uses .mcp.json
