## What it does

This skill guides agents through mapping multi-part texture sheets onto 3D geometry in Blender. It starts by detecting regions on base color or decal maps via `scripts/atlas_region_detector.py` and storing them in `atlas_regions.json`. The agent pairs structural parts to single regions using `atlas_part_map.json`. Local UV coordinates then remap directly into corresponding atlas rectangles.

Execution relies entirely on a configured Blender MCP server. Material setups are audited for glTF compatibility, keeping normal, roughness, and lightmap textures set to `Non-Color`. Alpha decals stay wired to transparency rather than black backing planes. Without an active Blender MCP connection, the skill cannot inspect scene objects or run Python scripts.

## Requirements
- Works with: Blender

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add RobLe3/cc-blender-skill --skill atlas-uv-fitting -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/atlas-uv-fitting/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/atlas-uv-fitting/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add RobLe3/cc-blender-skill --skill atlas-uv-fitting -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/atlas-uv-fitting/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add RobLe3/cc-blender-skill --skill atlas-uv-fitting -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/atlas-uv-fitting/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install RobLe3/cc-blender-skill atlas-uv-fitting
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/atlas-uv-fitting/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add RobLe3/cc-blender-skill --skill atlas-uv-fitting -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/RobLe3/cc-blender-skill --path plugin/skills/atlas-uv-fitting
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/atlas-uv-fitting/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add RobLe3/cc-blender-skill --skill atlas-uv-fitting -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/RobLe3/cc-blender-skill/tree/HEAD/plugin/skills/atlas-uv-fitting/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- map individual texture atlas regions to matching mesh components
- resolve stretched UV projections on front-facing and side surfaces
- configure alpha decal materials cleanly without black backing polygons
- sanitize supplemental roughness and bump maps before GLB export

## Example prompts
- Run `scripts/atlas_region_detector.py` on the hero character atlas and create `atlas_regions.json`
- Remap the front face UV islands to match the detected atlas region for the mascot
- Verify the Blender material node graph and switch all roughness and normal textures to `Non-Color`

## MCP backend

Use when: Texture atlas region detection, per-part UV mapping, front-projected UVs, decal/lightmap handling, texture validation against source templates.

Before the first Blender call, read [../text-to-blender/references/mcp-backends.md](../text-to-blender/references/mcp-backends.md). Prefer official MCP for shared capabilities; preserve the selected backend for the whole task. Tool names in recipes are client/legacy examples: map them through that reference and its agent-host guide.
# Atlas UV Fitting

This skill exists because assigning a texture material is not the same as fitting a texture.

## Supplemental map sanity rule

Do not blindly wire emissive/roughness/bump/lightmap images into every atlas-mapped part. First verify the supplemental map has the same UV layout and semantic region as the basecolor. If it contains aura dots, guide marks, lightmap blobs, or decorations outside the part, leave it disconnected for that mesh and use constant roughness/bump plus explicit edge/glow geometry instead.

## Hard rules

- Atlas textures must be mapped by region; never apply the full atlas to every structural mesh.
- Front-facing hero surfaces use front-projected UVs or a source-region rectangle.
- Side/back surfaces use their own UV islands or procedural/baked fills.
- Roughness, bump, normal, AO, and lightmap images are `Non-Color`.
- Alpha decals must use alpha-connected materials and no black backing planes.
- Base GLB should not include reference planes or optional aura unless explicitly requested.

## Workflow

1. Run `scripts/atlas_region_detector.py` on basecolor/decal/aura atlases.
2. Name regions semantically in `atlas_regions.json`.
3. Create/activate UV map per mesh.
4. Remap local 0-1 UVs into the matching atlas rectangle.
5. Audit the GLB/export material node graph: Principled BSDF + Image Texture nodes.
6. Render texture overlay validation before export.
