compositing

compositing is a skill for Claude Code from arjun988/blender-skills. It costs 26 tokens per session (583 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Blender compositing workflow for combining render layers, adjusting color and exposure, adding restrained visual effects, and exporting finished images. Blender is software for 3D modeling and rendering.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build beauty composites, combine render passes, isolate objects or materials, add glow or fog effects, apply color grading, and export delivery files such as EXR images.
Why use it?
It gives rendered scenes a repeatable finishing process and helps keep exposure, color, effects, and output settings under control.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

compositing scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Compositing

Pass-aware beauty stack. Subtle grade. Delivery-ready outputs.

When to Use

  • Final beauty composites from Cycles/Eevee
  • Grade, glare, vignette, chromatic subtlety
  • Pass recombination (diffuse, glossy, volume, cryptomatte)
  • Shot delivery plates

Workflow

Enable passes → Render multilayer EXR (or needed passes)
  → Compositor graph → Grade → FX (glare/fog glow)
  → Output viewer + File Output → Validate exposure
Pass Use
Beauty / Combined Base
DiffCol / DiffDir / DiffInd Relight flexibility
GlossDir / GlossCol Spec control
Volume Smoke/fire isolation
Cryptomatte Object/Material Isolations
Mist Depth grade / fog

Beauty Stack (Default)

Combined
  → Exposure / Color Balance (AgX-aware)
  → Glare (fog glow / streaks sparingly)
  → Lens distortion (subtle)
  → Vignette (subtle)
  → Output

Grade Rules

  1. Fix exposure before creative grade
  2. Prefer lift/gamma/gain or color balance over crushed curves
  3. Keep skin/product hues plausible
  4. Match reference stills with side-by-side

Outputs

  • OUT_Beauty_[Shot]
  • Optional: OUT_Alpha, OUT_CryptoID
  • Prefer EXR for archival; PNG/JPEG for review

Constraints

MUST DO

  • Grade on view transform–aware pipeline (AgX)
  • Keep creative FX reversible in node graph
  • Document exposure/look settings

MUST NOT DO

  • Crush blacks to hide lighting problems
  • Over-glare every bright pixel
  • Flatten multilayer to JPEG as only archive

Reference Guide

Topic Reference Load When
Pass Stack references/pass-stack.md When needed
Grade Presets references/grade-presets.md When needed
Delivery Outputs references/delivery-outputs.md When needed
Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
