# Blender Web Pipeline

## Overview

Blender Web Pipeline skill provides workflows for exporting 3D models and animations from Blender to web-optimized formats (primarily glTF 2.0). It covers Python scripting for batch processing, optimization techniques for web performance, and integration with web 3D libraries like Three.js and Babylon.js.

**When to use this skill:**
- Exporting Blender models for web applications
- Batch processing multiple 3D assets
- Optimizing file sizes for web delivery
- Automating repetitive Blender tasks
- Creating production pipelines for 3D web content
- Converting legacy formats to glTF

**Key capabilities:**
- glTF 2.0 export with optimization
- Python (bpy) automation scripts
- Texture baking and compression
- LOD (Level of Detail) generation
- Batch processing workflows
- Material and lighting optimization for web

## Core Concepts

### glTF 2.0 Format

**Why glTF for Web:**
- Industry-standard 3D format for web
- Efficient binary encoding (.glb)
- PBR materials support
- Animation and skinning
- Extensible with custom data
- Wide library support (Three.js, Babylon.js, etc.)

**glTF vs GLB:**
```
.gltf = JSON + external .bin + external textures
.glb  = Single binary file (recommended for web)
```

### Blender Python API (bpy)

**Access Blender data and operations via Python:**

```python
import bpy

# Access scene data
scene = bpy.context.scene
objects = bpy.data.objects

# Modify objects
obj = bpy.data.objects['Cube']
obj.location = (0, 0, 1)
obj.scale = (2, 2, 2)

# Export glTF
bpy.ops.export_scene.gltf(
    filepath='/path/to/model.glb',
    export_format='GLB'
)
```

### Web Optimization Goals

**Target Metrics:**
- File size: <5 MB per model (ideal <1 MB)
- Polygon count: <50k triangles for real-time
- Texture resolution: 2048x2048 max (1024x1024 preferred)
- Draw calls: Minimize via texture atlases
- Load time: <2 seconds on average connection

## Common Patterns

### 1. Basic glTF Export (Manual)

```python
# Blender Python Console or script

import bpy

# Select objects to export (optional - exports all if none selected)
bpy.ops.object.select_all(action='DESELECT')
bpy.data.objects['MyModel'].select_set(True)

# Export as GLB
bpy.ops.export_scene.gltf(
    filepath='/path/to/output.glb',
    export_format='GLB',                # Binary format
    use_selection=True,                 # Export selected only
    export_apply=True,                  # Apply modifiers
    export_texcoords=True,              # UV coordinates
    export_normals=True,                # Normals
    export_materials='EXPORT',          # Export materials
    export_colors=True,                 # Vertex colors
    export_cameras=False,               # Skip cameras
    export_lights=False,                # Skip lights
    export_animations=True,             # Include animations
    export_draco_mesh_compression_enable=True,  # Compress geometry
    export_draco_mesh_compression_level=6,      # 0-10 (6 recommended)
    export_draco_position_quantization=14,      # 8-14 bits
    export_draco_normal_quantization=10,        # 8-10 bits
    export_draco_texcoord_quantization=12       # 8-12 bits
)
```

### 2. Python Script for Batch Export

```python
#!/usr/bin/env blender --background --python
"""
Batch export all .blend files in a directory to glTF
Usage: blender --background --python batch_export.py -- /path/to/blend/files
"""

import bpy
import os
import sys

# Get command line arguments after --
argv = sys.argv
argv = argv[argv.index("--") + 1:] if "--" in argv else []

input_dir = argv[0] if argv else "/path/to/models"
output_dir = argv[1] if len(argv) > 1 else input_dir + "_gltf"

# Create output directory
os.makedirs(output_dir, exist_ok=True)

# Find all .blend files
blend_files = [f for f in os.listdir(input_dir) if f.endswith('.blend')]

print(f"Found {len(blend_files)} .blend files")

for blend_file in blend_files:
    input_path = os.path.join(input_dir, blend_file)
    output_name = blend_file.replace('.blend', '.glb')
    output_path = os.path.join(output_dir, output_name)

    print(f"Processing: {blend_file}")

    # Open blend file
    bpy.ops.wm.open_mainfile(filepath=input_path)

    # Export as GLB with optimizations
    bpy.ops.export_scene.gltf(
        filepath=output_path,
        export_format='GLB',
        export_apply=True,
        export_draco_mesh_compression_enable=True,
        export_draco_mesh_compression_level=6
    )

    print(f"  Exported: {output_name}")

print("Batch export complete!")
```

**Run batch script:**

```bash
blender --background --python batch_export.py -- /models/source /models/output
```

### 3. Optimize Model for Web (Decimation)

```python
import bpy

def optimize_mesh(obj, target_ratio=0.5):
    """Reduce polygon count using decimation modifier."""

    if obj.type != 'MESH':
        return

    # Add Decimate modifier
    decimate = obj.modifiers.new(name='Decimate', type='DECIMATE')
    decimate.ratio = target_ratio  # 0.5 = 50% of original polygons
    decimate.use_collapse_triangulate = True

    # Apply modifier
    bpy.context.view_layer.objects.active = obj
    bpy.ops.object.modifier_apply(modifier='Decimate')

    print(f"Optimized {obj.name}: {len(obj.data.polygons)} polygons")

# Optimize all selected meshes
for obj in bpy.context.selected_objects:
    optimize_mesh(obj, target_ratio=0.3)
```

### 4. Texture Baking for Web

```python
import bpy

def bake_textures(obj, resolution=1024):
    """Bake all materials to single texture."""

    # Setup bake settings
    bpy.context.scene.render.engine = 'CYCLES'
    bpy.context.scene.cycles.bake_type = 'COMBINED'

    # Create bake image
    bake_image = bpy.data.images.new(
        name=f"{obj.name}_bake",
        width=resolution,
        height=resolution
    )

    # Create bake material
    mat = bpy.data.materials.new(name=f"{obj.name}_baked")
    mat.use_nodes = True
    nodes = mat.node_tree.nodes

    # Add Image Texture node
    tex_node = nodes.new(type='ShaderNodeTexImage')
    tex_node.image = bake_image
    tex_node.select = True
    nodes.active = tex_node

    # Assign material
    if obj.data.materials:
        obj.data.materials[0] = mat
    else:
        obj.data.materials.append(mat)

    # Select object
    bpy.context.view_layer.objects.active = obj
    obj.select_set(True)

    # Bake
    bpy.ops.object.bake(type='COMBINED')

    # Save baked texture
    bake_image.filepath_raw = f"/tmp/{obj.name}_bake.png"
    bake_image.file_format = 'PNG'
    bake_image.save()

    print(f"Baked {obj.name} to {bake_image.filepath_raw}")

# Bake selected objects
for obj in bpy.context.selected_objects:
    if obj.type == 'MESH':
        bake_textures(obj, resolution=2048)
```

### 5. Generate LOD (Level of Detail)

```python
import bpy

def generate_lods(obj, lod_levels=[0.75, 0.5, 0.25]):
    """Generate LOD copies with decreasing polygon counts."""

    lod_objects = []

    for i, ratio in enumerate(lod_levels):
        # Duplicate object
        lod_obj = obj.copy()
        lod_obj.data = obj.data.copy()
        lod_obj.name = f"{obj.name}_LOD{i}"

        # Link to scene
        bpy.context.collection.objects.link(lod_obj)

        # Add Decimate modifier
        decimate = lod_obj.modifiers.new(name='Decimate', type='DECIMATE')
        decimate.ratio = ratio

        # Apply modifier
        bpy.context.view_layer.objects.active = lod_obj
        bpy.ops.object.modifier_apply(modifier='Decimate')

        lod_objects.append(lod_obj)

        print(f"Created {lod_obj.name}: {len(lod_obj.data.polygons)} polygons")

    return lod_objects

# Generate LODs for selected object
if bpy.context.active_object:
    generate_lods(bpy.context.active_object)
```

### 6. Export with Texture Compression

```python
import bpy
import os

def export_optimized_gltf(filepath, texture_max_size=1024):
    """Export glTF with downscaled textures."""

    # Downscale all textures
    for img in bpy.data.images:
        if img.size[0] > texture_max_size or img.size[1] > texture_max_size:
            img.scale(texture_max_size, texture_max_size)
            print(f"Downscaled {img.name} to {texture_max_size}x{texture_max_size}")

    # Export with Draco compression
    bpy.ops.export_scene.gltf(
        filepath=filepath,
        export_format='GLB',
        export_apply=True,
        export_image_format='JPEG',  # JPEG for smaller size (or PNG for quality)
        export_jpeg_quality=85,       # 0-100
        export_draco_mesh_compression_enable=True,
        export_draco_mesh_compression_level=8,  # Max compression
        export_draco_position_quantization=12,
        export_draco_normal_quantization=8,
        export_draco_texcoord_quantization=10
    )

# Export optimized
export_optimized_gltf('/path/to/optimized.glb', texture_max_size=512)
```

### 7. Command-Line Automation

```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Batch export Blender files to glTF without opening GUI

SCRIPT_DIR="$(dirname "$0")"

# Export all .blend files in current directory
for blend_file in *.blend; do
    echo "Exporting $blend_file..."

    blender --background "$blend_file" --python - <<EOF
import bpy
import os

# Get output filename
filename = os.path.splitext(bpy.data.filepath)[0]
output = filename + '.glb'

# Export
bpy.ops.export_scene.gltf(
    filepath=output,
    export_format='GLB',
    export_apply=True,
    export_draco_mesh_compression_enable=True,
    export_draco_mesh_compression_level=6
)

print(f'Exported to {output}')
EOF

done

echo "All files exported!"
```

## Integration Patterns

### With Three.js

```javascript
import * as THREE from 'three';
import { GLTFLoader } from 'three/addons/loaders/GLTFLoader.js';
import { DRACOLoader } from 'three/addons/loaders/DRACOLoader.js';

const loader = new GLTFLoader();

// Setup Draco decoder for compressed models
const dracoLoader = new DRACOLoader();
dracoLoader.setDecoderPath('/draco/');
loader.setDRACOLoader(dracoLoader);

// Load Blender export
loader.load('/models/exported.glb', (gltf) => {
  scene.add(gltf.scene);

  // Play animations
  if (gltf.animations.length > 0) {
    const mixer = new THREE.AnimationMixer(gltf.scene);
    const action = mixer.clipAction(gltf.animations[0]);
    action.play();
  }
});
```

### With React Three Fiber

```jsx
import { useGLTF } from '@react-three/drei';

function Model() {
  const { scene } = useGLTF('/models/exported.glb');
  return <primitive object={scene} />;
}

// Preload for better performance
useGLTF.preload('/models/exported.glb');
```

### With Babylon.js

```javascript
import * as BABYLON from '@babylonjs/core';
import '@babylonjs/loaders/glTF';

BABYLON.SceneLoader.ImportMesh(
  '',
  '/models/',
  'exported.glb',
  scene,
  (meshes) => {
    console.log('Loaded meshes:', meshes);
  }
);
```

## Optimization Techniques

### 1. Geometry Optimization

**Decimate Modifier:**
```python
# Reduce polygon count by 70%
obj.modifiers.new(name='Decimate', type='DECIMATE')
obj.modifiers['Decimate'].ratio = 0.3
```

**Merge by Distance:**
```python
# Remove duplicate vertices
bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode='EDIT')
bpy.ops.mesh.select_all(action='SELECT')
bpy.ops.mesh.remove_doubles(threshold=0.0001)
bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode='OBJECT')
```

**Triangulate Faces:**
```python
# Ensure all faces are triangles (required for some engines)
bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode='EDIT')
bpy.ops.mesh.select_all(action='SELECT')
bpy.ops.mesh.quads_convert_to_tris()
bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode='OBJECT')
```

### 2. Texture Optimization

**Image Compression:**
```python
# Save textures as JPEG (lossy but smaller)
for img in bpy.data.images:
    img.file_format = 'JPEG'
    img.filepath_raw = f"/output/{img.name}.jpg"
    img.save()
```

**Texture Atlas:**
```python
# Combine multiple textures into one atlas
# Use Smart UV Project for automatic atlasing
bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode='EDIT')
bpy.ops.mesh.select_all(action='SELECT')
bpy.ops.uv.smart_project(angle_limit=66, island_margin=0.02)
bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode='OBJECT')
```

### 3. Material Simplification

**Convert to PBR:**
```python
# Ensure materials use Principled BSDF (glTF standard)
for mat in bpy.data.materials:
    if not mat.use_nodes:
        mat.use_nodes = True

    nodes = mat.node_tree.nodes
    principled = nodes.get('Principled BSDF')

    if not principled:
        principled = nodes.new(type='ShaderNodeBsdfPrincipled')
        output = nodes.get('Material Output')
        mat.node_tree.links.new(principled.outputs[0], output.inputs[0])
```

## Common Pitfalls

### 1. Large File Sizes

**Problem:** Exported .glb files are 20+ MB

**Solutions:**
- Enable Draco compression (60-90% reduction)
- Reduce texture resolution (2048 → 1024 or 512)
- Use JPEG instead of PNG for textures
- Decimate geometry (target <50k triangles)
- Remove unused materials/textures

### 2. Missing Textures in Export

**Problem:** Textures don't appear in web viewer

**Solutions:**
- Ensure all images are saved (not packed)
- Use relative paths for textures
- Export with "Export Images" enabled
- Check image format compatibility (PNG/JPEG)

### 3. Animations Not Playing

**Problem:** Animations don't export or play incorrectly

**Solutions:**
- Ensure animations are on timeline (not NLA strips)
- Export with "Export Animations" enabled
- Check animation actions are assigned to objects
- Use "Bake Actions" for complex rigs

### 4. Materials Look Different

**Problem:** Materials render differently in web vs Blender

**Solutions:**
- Use Principled BSDF (maps to glTF PBR)
- Avoid custom shader nodes (won't export)
- Use supported texture types (Base Color, Metallic, Roughness, Normal, Emission)
- Test in glTF viewer before deploying

### 5. Slow Export Times

**Problem:** Export takes 10+ minutes

**Solutions:**
- Apply modifiers before export (don't export non-destructively)
- Reduce geometry complexity
- Remove unused data (orphan cleanup)
- Use command-line export (faster than GUI)

### 6. Performance Issues in Browser

**Problem:** Model lags in browser

**Solutions:**
- Generate LODs (Level of Detail)
- Use instancing for repeated objects
- Limit draw calls (merge objects, texture atlases)
- Reduce polygon count (<50k triangles)
- Optimize shaders (avoid transparency/refraction)

## Best Practices

### Pre-Export Checklist

```
☐ Apply all modifiers
☐ Merge vertices (remove doubles)
☐ Triangulate faces (if required)
☐ Optimize polygon count (<50k triangles)
☐ UV unwrap all meshes
☐ Bake materials (if complex)
☐ Resize textures (max 2048x2048)
☐ Use Principled BSDF materials
☐ Remove unused data (orphan cleanup)
☐ Name objects descriptively
☐ Set origin points correctly
☐ Apply transformations (Ctrl+A)
```

### Export Settings

```python
# Recommended glTF export settings
bpy.ops.export_scene.gltf(
    filepath='/output.glb',
    export_format='GLB',                # Binary format
    export_apply=True,                  # Apply modifiers
    export_image_format='JPEG',         # Smaller file size
    export_jpeg_quality=85,             # Quality vs size
    export_draco_mesh_compression_enable=True,  # Enable compression
    export_draco_mesh_compression_level=6,      # Balance speed/size
    export_animations=True,             # Include animations
    export_lights=False,                # Skip lights (recreate in code)
    export_cameras=False                # Skip cameras
)
```
