3D modeling, materials, lighting, rendering and animation with Blender 5.2 LTS on codeonym's Arch workstation (AMD Vega iGPU — EEVEE on GPU, Cycles on CPU). Use when the user wants to model something in 3D, make product/packaging/device mockups of their designs, render stills or turntables, create 3D assets for the web (glTF/GLB for three.js / React Three Fiber), convert between 3D formats, prepare STL for 3D printing, or script Blender with Python.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 3 edited versions we read keep these.
1
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 40
Keep modifiers live (Subdivision, Bevel, Mirror, Solidify) until export — non-destructive like the 2D tools.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 3 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
3D modeling (Blender 5.2)
Toolkit on this machine
| Tool | Use it for | Launch / CLI |
| Blender 5.2 LTS | Modeling, sculpting, materials, lighting, rendering, animation, compositing, video sequencing | blender (from the app grid) · terminal: scripts/blender.sh |
| EEVEE (real-time) | Fast renders on the Vega iGPU — mockups, previews, stylized work | engine BLENDER_EEVEE |
| Cycles (path tracing) | Photoreal renders — CPU only here (Vega APUs aren't supported by HIP), use denoising + low samples | engine CYCLES |
| Bundled add-ons | Node Wrangler, Rigify, glTF 2.0, FBX, OBJ/STL/PLY importers | Edit → Preferences → Add-ons / Get Extensions |
/usr/bin/ffmpeg | Encode rendered frames to MP4 with AMD VAAPI | used by render.sh |
Machine quirk: Homebrew's python3 (from ~/.zshrc) hijacks Blender's embedded Python when Blender is launched from a terminal → numpy missing → glTF import/export errors. Launching from the GNOME app grid is fine. From a terminal use scripts/blender.sh … (all scripts here already fix PATH).
Scripts
| Script | What it does |
check.sh | Blender version, Cycles GPU availability, engines, bundled add-ons, VAAPI for animations |
blender.sh [args] | Blender with the PATH fix above — use instead of blender in a terminal |
render.sh scene.blend [--engine eevee|cycles] [--samples N] [--res WxH] [--frame N | --anim] | Headless still or animation render; animations become an MP4 automatically |
mockup.py | Your 2D design (poster, cover, card, screenshot) as a lit 3D studio mockup. blender.sh -b --factory-startup -P mockup.py -- --image design.png --out mockup.png [--style tilt|flat|lean] [--bg '#f4f4f5'] [--save mockup.blend] |
turntable.py | 360° turntable of any model (glb/obj/fbx/stl/blend) with studio lighting. blender.sh -b --factory-startup -P turntable.py -- --model chair.glb --save chair-tt.blend then render.sh chair-tt.blend --anim |
convert-model.sh in.X out.Y [--draco] | Converts between blend/glb/gltf/obj/fbx/stl/ply; --draco shrinks GLB for the web |
Guides

Rules of thumb
- Model at real-world scale (1 unit = 1 m) and apply scale (Ctrl+A → Scale) before modifiers/export.
- Keep modifiers live (Subdivision, Bevel, Mirror, Solidify) until export — non-destructive like the 2D tools.
- Preview in EEVEE, final in EEVEE unless you need true glass/caustics/GI → then Cycles with denoising at 64–256 samples.
- Render animations as PNG frames (crash-safe), encode to MP4 afterwards (
render.sh --animdoes this). - For the web, export GLB with Draco, keep textures ≤ 2K, and < 50k triangles per hero model.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
