3d-modeling

Purpose

This skill provides tools for creating, editing, and optimizing 3D models using Blender, specifically tailored for AR/VR applications. It focuses on generating assets like meshes and textures that integrate seamlessly into virtual environments.

When to Use

Use this skill when developing AR/VR prototypes that require custom 3D models, such as designing interactive objects for VR simulations or overlaying digital assets in AR scenes. Apply it in workflows involving asset creation, modification, or export for platforms like Unity or Oculus.

Key Capabilities

• Create and manipulate 3D meshes using Blender's Python API, e.g., generating a cube with bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_cube_add().
• Apply materials and textures for AR/VR realism, such as using bpy.data.materials.new() to add shaders.
• Render scenes optimized for AR/VR, including exporting to GLTF format with embedded textures via bpy.ops.export_scene.gltf().
• Perform batch operations via CLI for automation, like processing multiple files.
• Integrate with AR/VR tools by exporting models that support real-time rendering, such as low-poly meshes for mobile VR.

Usage Patterns

Follow these patterns to leverage the skill effectively. Always run Blender in a compatible environment with Python 3.7+ installed.
