Measure and validate supplied reference images, wireframes, texture atlases, and Blender renders before declaring a reconstruction 1:1. Use when an asset must match a template, when visual feedback says the output is off, when part counts must be exact, or before exporting a brand mascot/logo reconstruction. Pairs with reference-to-3d, contour-to-mesh, orthographic-registration, atlas-uv-fitting, and Blender MCP.

Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.
Use when: Any 1:1 reference/model validation task involving masks, overlays, part counts, centroids, bounding boxes, SSIM/IoU, source manifests, or fail-before-export gates.
Before the first Blender call, read ../text-to-blender/references/mcp-backends.md. Prefer official MCP for shared capabilities; preserve the selected backend for the whole task. Tool names in recipes are client/legacy examples: map them through that reference and its agent-host guide.
This skill converts “looks close” into measurable gates. For brand/logo/mascot work, do not model or export until a source manifest and validation thresholds exist.
Create these in the asset output folder:
reference_manifest.json — classified source files, expected parts, thresholds.source_analysis/*.json — image metadata, masks/components/landmarks.validation/front_overlay_reference.png — reference and render overlay.validation/front_mask_validation.json — IoU/SSIM/bbox/centroid report.reference_manifest.json with hard expected counts and view roles.scripts/reference_manifest_compiler.py or existing analyzers.scripts/render_overlay_validator.py.Compare like with like. A wireframe edge mask compared against a shaded beauty render gives misleadingly low IoU. For hard gates, render a flat silhouette/matte pass from Blender or compare reference edges to render edges. Use render_overlay_validator.py --reference-mode ... --render-mode ... when the source and render need different mask extraction modes.
If a repeated mismatch occurs, record the measured failure, then route to the missing specialty skill:

Validate Blender animation attempts before accepting them by rendering contact sheets, checking silhouette stability, flicker, framing, subject dominance, layer separation, export compatibility, and motion-design coherence. Use after animation renders or when the user says motion/morph/outside elements look bad.

Detect texture-atlas regions and map each source part to its own UV rectangle or projected UV surface. Use when a texture pack must fit a Blender model 1:1, when textures look off/stretched, when alpha decals or lightmaps are provided, or before exporting a textured GLB for a brand mascot/logo.

Animate objects, cameras, lights, and properties in Blender — keyframes, F-curves, easing (Bezier, Linear, Sine, Bounce, Elastic), shape keys (morph targets / blendshapes / visemes), drivers (Python expressions on properties), NLA actions for reuse and layering. Use whenever the user asks to "animate this", "make it move / rotate / scale over time", "add keyframes", "loop / oscillate", "shape key / morph / blendshape", "visemes for lip sync", or any time-based property change. Make sure to use this skill even if the user does not say "animate" — also covers "spin it slowly", "make it wave", "fade in / out", "pulse", "facial expression".

Set up Blender cameras with cinematic intent — focal length, depth of field (f-stop / focus object), composition (rule of thirds, leading lines), animated cameras (orbit, dolly, push-in), tracking constraints. Use whenever the user asks to "set up the camera", "frame the shot", "make it look cinematic / hero / portrait / wide-angle / telephoto", "add depth of field", "orbit the camera", or any composition/framing request. Make sure to use this skill even if the user does not say "camera" — also covers "hero shot", "close-up", "from above", "shallow focus", "85mm portrait look".

Export Blender scenes to glTF/GLB (web/AR), FBX (game engines), OBJ (universal), USD (VFX pipelines), STL (3D printing). Includes Unreal collision hulls and Multires normal-map baking for low-poly export, per-format settings, embed/unpack textures, axis conversion, polygon optimization (Decimate), and target-platform validation. Use whenever the user asks to "export this", "save as glTF / FBX / OBJ / STL / USD", "package for Unity / Unreal / Three.js / web / AR / 3D print", or any output format conversion. Make sure to use this skill even if the user does not say "export" — also covers "package this for the web", "make it work in Unity", "send to Unreal", "save for 3D printing".

Light Blender scenes professionally — three-point setups, HDRI environments, studio/cinematic/dramatic configurations, light groups, color temperature, soft vs hard shadows. Use whenever the user asks to "light the scene", "set up lighting", "make it look cinematic / dramatic / studio / outdoor / sunset", "add a key light", "use HDRI", or any lighting-related request. Make sure to use this skill even if the user does not say "light" — also covers "make it look professional", "studio shot", "moody atmosphere", "golden hour", "rim light". Pairs with blender-materials (lighting reveals materials) and blender-cameras (lighting + composition together = shot).
