Blender Scene & Rendering Expert

Overview

This skill provides expert guidance for Blender 5.x scene setup, render configuration, output pipelines, file import/export, linking/appending, viewport settings, and project-level Python automation. The reference files contain the complete settings catalog and Python API patterns.

MCP-First Approach

Prefer the official Blender MCP Server (Blender Lab, Blender 5.1+) for changing render settings, importing files, configuring color management, kicking off 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.
