game-3d-model-design

game-3d-model-design is a skill for Codex from jeremylongworth-source/AgentSkills. It costs 74 tokens per session (641 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to building and reviewing 3D models for games, including their shapes, surfaces, textures, and mesh structure. It covers both hard-surface objects and organic models, from detailed source models to optimised game versions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for mesh construction, retopology, UV mapping, normal checks, baking, sculpt cleanup, rig preparation, and model export review.
Why use it?
It helps models look correct, shade properly, animate when needed, and stay within a game’s performance limits. It also catches problems that can appear when models are exported into an engine.

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

game-3d-model-design 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 1mo 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.

Game 3D Model Design

Core Workflow

  1. Identify the model purpose, target engine, camera distance, animation/deformation needs, platform budget, and art style.
  2. Start with silhouette and primary forms before topology detail. The model should read in untextured clay or flat color.
  3. Choose a modeling route: direct low-poly, high-poly to retopo, sculpt to retopo, CAD/scan cleanup, kitbash cleanup, or procedural base plus manual finish.
  4. Build topology to support the next task: shading, UVs, baking, rigging, deformation, destruction, customization, or modular reuse.
  5. UV with visible seams, texel density, texture reuse, baking needs, and material boundaries in mind.
  6. Validate normals, smoothing, triangulation, scale, transforms, nonmanifold geometry, hidden faces, overlapping surfaces, and export/import behavior.

Modeling Priorities

  • Silhouette: spend geometry where outline changes matter at the gameplay camera distance.
  • Topology: use clean loops for deformation areas, controlled support edges for hard surfaces, and avoid long thin triangles where they cause shading or lighting artifacts.
  • Retopology: rebuild high-density sculpt, scan, or CAD geometry into an optimized low-poly mesh when the source is not suitable for real-time use.
  • UVs: minimize stretching, keep texel density intentional, split islands along logical seams, and avoid overlap unless mirrored/stacked UVs are intended.
  • Normals and baking: decide where detail belongs in geometry, normal maps, trim sheets, decals, or material noise.
  • Deformation: place loops around shoulders, elbows, knees, jaw, mouth, eyes, fingers, cloth bends, and other articulation zones.
  • Cleanup: apply transforms, remove doubles/loose geometry, name objects, freeze/reset as required by the pipeline, and test export.

Review Stance

When reviewing a model, lead with production blockers:

  • Broken scale, transforms, orientation, or pivot
  • Bad topology for deformation or shading
  • Unusable UVs or inconsistent texel density
  • Too many materials, objects, bones, or polygons for the target
  • Missing collision, LOD, bake, or engine import needs
  • Visual design that relies on texture detail instead of readable form

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.
