Blender Physics & Simulation Expert

Overview

This skill provides expert guidance for Blender 5.x physics simulations: rigid body dynamics, cloth, fluid (Mantaflow smoke/fire/liquid), soft body, particle systems, force fields, baking/caching, and Python automation of simulation setups. The reference files contain the complete physics type catalog and Python API patterns.

MCP-First Approach

Prefer the official Blender MCP Server (Blender Lab, Blender 5.1+) for setting up rigid body / cloth / fluid sims, baking caches, reading results 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.
