Auto-Blender Development Assistant

AI-assisted development for Blender automation projects. This skill helps you build Python scripts, templates, and automation patterns for headless rendering and iterative 3D asset creation using Blender's Python API.

What This Skill Does

Assists with developing Blender automation scripts using Python 3.x and the Blender Python API (bpy). Designed for projects involving headless rendering workflows, procedural modeling, and AI-assisted 3D asset creation.

Instructions

When working on Auto-Blender projects, follow these guidelines:

1. Technology Stack

2. Project Structure

Maintain the standard project layout:

```

src/ # Source scripts and modules

tests/ # Test files

```

3. Development Workflow

**Before making changes:**

**When writing code:**

**Testing:**

4. Code Style

5. Common Patterns

**Scene setup:**

```python

import bpy

Clear existing objects

bpy.ops.object.select_all(action='SELECT')

bpy.ops.object.delete()

```

**Object creation:**

```python

from mathutils import Vector

Create mesh object

bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_cube_add(location=Vector((0, 0, 0)))

obj = bpy.context.active_object

```

**Rendering:**

6. Important Constraints

7. Recent Project Focus

The project recently worked on character refinement features, involving:

Usage Examples

**Example 1: Add a new procedural modeling script**

```

User: "Create a script that generates a procedural tree"

Assistant: [Creates Python script using bpy to generate geometry]

```

**Example 2: Fix rendering issues**

```

User: "The headless render isn't saving files"

Assistant: [Reviews render settings, checks output paths, fixes configuration]

```

**Example 3: Add tests**

```

User: "Add tests for the pig character script"

Assistant: [Creates pytest tests, mocking bpy where needed]

```
