# text-to-blender

Drives Blender via MCP backends from natural language prompts. It handles 3D modeling, procedural materials, lighting, camera setup, and test renders without manual UI clicks.

## What it does

The skill acts as an orchestrator for 3D tasks. Upon receiving a prompt, it resets the world environment to neutral values so broken `Environment Texture` nodes do not cause magenta renders. Next, it looks up real-world object dimensions before generating any Python script. Execution runs through Blender MCP tools.

Visual validation sits between rendering and the final report. API checks alone are not enough: geometry might pass numerical tests but still look distorted. The skill inspects the rendered image or viewport screenshot, fixes framing or shading issues, and switches the viewport to `Material Preview` before finishing.

Without a configured official or ahujasid MCP backend, the skill cannot communicate with Blender. Complex compositions can also chain helper modules like `blender-skill-harmonizer` to resolve asset precedence and conflict policies.

## Requirements
- Works with: Blender

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

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

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

### Codex

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

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

### Cursor

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

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install RobLe3/cc-blender-skill text-to-blender
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/text-to-blender/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

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

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

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add RobLe3/cc-blender-skill --skill text-to-blender -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/text-to-blender/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- generate 3D scenes from natural language prompts
- set up lighting, cameras, and materials in Blender
- inspect renders visually to catch clipped or unshaded models
- switch the 3D viewport to Material Preview mode automatically

## Example prompts
- Render a hero shot of a sword on a stone
- Set up a three-point lighting rig and position the camera for a close-up
- Generate a wooden chair with realistic dimensions and render a proof frame

## MCP backend

Use when: User asks for any 3D creation, modification, lighting, rendering, animation, or export task. Anything involving Blender or that should reasonably be done in Blender.

Before the first Blender call, read [references/mcp-backends.md](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.
# Text-to-Blender Orchestrator

Turn plain-English requests into Blender work. You are the conductor: read the request, decide which sub-skills to chain-load, sequence them in the right order, and execute via the Blender MCP.

## Multi-skill harmonization

For complex tasks that trigger multiple Blender skills, especially reference/template/brand work, load `blender-skill-harmonizer` before choosing the execution order. It owns precedence, handoff artifacts, and conflict policy.

If the user rejects an output as sub-par, says the same issue is recurring, or asks to improve the skill stack before retrying, load `quality-refinement-autoloop` before further product work. It turns evidence into a sanitized reusable lesson, patches generic skills/docs/versioning when explicitly requested, and only then resumes the Blender repair loop.

## How this skill works

The user speaks in tasks ("render a hero shot of a sword on a stone"); you:

1. **Identify intent** → which capabilities are needed (modeling? materials? lighting? rendering? export?).
```
