blender-lighting

blender-lighting is a skill for Claude Code from RobLe3/cc-blender-skill. It costs 150 tokens per session (6,411 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Blender scene-lighting guide covering common light sources and setups, such as studio, outdoor, cinematic, dramatic, and stylized lighting. HDRI means a 360-degree environment image used to provide surrounding light.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up area, sun, point, spot, or HDRI lighting, including three-point setups, soft or hard shadows, and color-temperature choices.
Why use it?
It helps choose a suitable lighting arrangement and avoid scenes that look flat, overly harsh, or inconsistent with the intended mood.

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

blender-lighting 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 13d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 491 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

MCP backend

Use when: Any lighting setup or modification in Blender. Includes HDRI/environment lighting and individual lamp placement.

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.

Blender Lighting

Light scenes the way pros do: with structure, intent, and physically reasonable values.

The five light types

Type Behavior Use for
AREA Light from a rectangular surface; soft shadows automatic 80% of cases. Window, softbox, fluorescent panel
SUN Parallel rays from "infinity" Sunlight, moonlight, distant directional
POINT Omnidirectional from a point Bulbs, candles, small omnis
SPOT Cone with falloff Stage lights, headlights, focused beams
HDRI/World 360° environment image Realistic ambient, outdoor, product photography

Default rule: Use Area lights for almost everything except the sun. Soft shadows come for free.

Decision tree

What's the mood?
├── Studio / commercial → Three-point lighting (key+fill+rim) + HDRI fill 0.3
├── Outdoor / sunlit → Sun + HDRI sky environment
├── Indoor cinematic → Sun through window + HDRI low + practicals (lamps as Point)
├── Dramatic / noir → Single Spot at high angle, no fill
├── Stylized / cartoon → Three-point with high contrast + saturated key color
└── Unsure → Three-point with HDRI grounding (works for 90% of cases)

Reference-look handoff

If the goal is to match an original/reference image rather than make a generally attractive render, chain-load reference-look-calibration. It owns measurement of hue/saturation/value, object extent, glow/aura color, and before/after look metrics. This skill should then apply the requested material/lighting/render changes within that calibrated target.

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.
