Blender Compositing Nodes Expert

Overview

This skill provides expert guidance for Blender 5.x compositor nodes: designing compositing pipelines, writing Python scripts to build compositor node trees, combining and processing render passes, color grading, keying, and configuring multi-layer output. The reference files contain the full node listing and Python API patterns.

MCP-First Approach

Prefer the official Blender MCP Server (Blender Lab, Blender 5.1+) for building compositor trees, adjusting passes, previewing renders directly in a running Blender session. Fall back to emitting Python scripts only when the MCP server is not connected.

Detection: at session start, look for tools whose names match execute_blender_code, get_objects_summary, or search_api_docs — these belong to the official blender-mcp server. If any are present, MCP is available.
