orthographic-registration

orthographic-registration is a skill for Claude Code from CheshireJCat/blender. It costs 59 tokens per session (418 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of orthographic-registration, MIT.

A Blender workflow for aligning front, side, back, and top reference drawings to one shared coordinate system before modeling. Orthographic views are straight-on technical views without perspective, used to show an object's shape from different directions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building a 3D model from several technical views or templates. It aligns the references, adds depth from the side and top views, and checks the model from all available angles.
Why use it?
It prevents a model that looks correct from the front from having incorrect depth, width, or rear and top shapes.

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

orthographic-registration 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/register_views.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Orthographic Registration

This skill prevents the common failure where the front view looks plausible but the side/back/top views are wrong.

Coordinate contract

  • Front view defines X/Z silhouette.
  • Side view defines Y/Z depth envelope.
  • Top view defines X/Y spread.
  • Back view defines rear silhouette/material only; it must not rewrite the front silhouette.

Workflow

  1. Run scripts/register_views.py on the available view images.
  2. Create orthographic reference planes/image empties with a single shared scale.
  3. Align centerline and bbox centers before modeling.
  4. Lock front X/Z boundary vertices.
  5. Add Y depth from side/top envelopes using modifiers/displacement or vertex groups.
  6. Validate all four cameras before export.

Failure policy

If views disagree, front brand read wins. Document the conflict in registration_report.json.

Front-plane rotation rule

In this Blender coordinate convention, the front camera looks along the Y axis and the reference silhouette lives in the X/Z plane. Therefore 2D rotations inside the front view are rotations around the Y axis, not around Z. Use rotation_euler = (0, angle, 0) for 2D component orientation in the front projection. Z rotation spins objects into/out of screen-space incorrectly for X/Z-plane meshes.

Sources distilled

  • Blender Image Empty/reference image controls for orthographic blueprints.
  • OpenCV homography/alignment and geometric transforms for view registration.
Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.

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.
