## Quick Start

> **Marketplace listing is currently under review by Anthropic.**
> Install directly from GitHub in the meantime.

Works with **Cursor**, **Claude Code**, **Kiro**, and **Codex** — same skill pack, Blender MCP execution.

**Claude Code**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/arjun988/blender-skills.git
cp -r blender-skills/.claude/skills /path/to/your/project/.claude/skills/
```

**Cursor (Windows)**
```powershell
git clone https://github.com/arjun988/blender-skills.git
Copy-Item -Recurse -Force "blender-skills\.claude\skills\*" ".cursor\skills\"
```

**Kiro**
```bash
# Copy skill folders into your Kiro skills directory, then restart Kiro
cp -r blender-skills/.claude/skills/* /path/to/kiro/skills/
```

**Codex**
```bash
# Mount or copy skills into your Codex skills path
cp -r blender-skills/.claude/skills/* /path/to/codex/skills/
# or: ln -s /path/to/blender-skills/.claude/skills /path/to/codex/skills/blender-skills
```

For all installation methods and first steps, see the **[Quick Start Guide](https://blender-skills.vercel.app/getting-started/)**.

## Skills (94)

94 specialized skills across modeling, production, technical, pipeline, art styles, horror packs, worlds, moods, and gameplay genre direction.

See **[Skills Guide](SKILLS_GUIDE.md)** for the full list, subtype coverage map, decision trees, and workflow combinations.

### 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](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/)
2. Install the [BlenderMCP addon](https://github.com/ahujasid/blender-mcp) in Blender
3. Blender sidebar `N` → **BlenderMCP** → **Connect to Claude**
4. Restart your agent — Cursor ships `.cursor/mcp.json`; Claude Code uses `.mcp.json`

Full guide: **[docs/BLENDER_MCP_SETUP.md](docs/BLENDER_MCP_SETUP.md)**

| Config / Path | Client |
|---------------|--------|
| `.cursor/mcp.json` + `.cursor/skills/` | Cursor |
| `.mcp.json` + `.claude/skills/` | Claude Code |
| Kiro skills dir + Blender MCP | Kiro |
| Codex skills path + Blender MCP | Codex |

## Workflow Pipelines

### Hero Hard Surface Prop
```
blender-director → hard-surface → uv-workflow → materials → asset-optimization → export-pipeline
```

→ uv-workflow → texture-workflow → rigging → animation → export-pipeline
```

### Horror Environment
```
blender-director → horror-style → environment-artist → lighting
→ lowpoly-style → asset-optimization → export-pipeline
```

### Modular Kit
```
blender-director → environment-artist → geometry-nodes
→ uv-workflow → texture-workflow → asset-optimization → export-pipeline
```

## Philosophy

Every skill in this pack:

- **Thinks before acting** — Plans the full pipeline before touching Blender
- **Executes via MCP** — Uses Blender MCP tools when connected, never narrates UI steps
- **Matches references** — Analyzes photo first, camera-matches, screenshot-compares in a loop
- **Follows production standards** — Naming conventions, polycount budgets, game-ready output
- **Validates before export** — Asset optimization and checklist gate on every delivery
