## Description

Automate Blender 5.2 at scale - headless CLI flags, batch convert/inventory/run-any-skill-script over folders of .blend/.fbx/.glb/.obj/.usd, sharding, bpy pip module, library linking, path management, render-farm and CI patterns. Use for batch jobs, format conversion, library maintenance and pipeline tooling.

# Pipeline Automation

The execution model is in `blender-core` (`run_in_blender.py` finds Blender and prints only the JSON results).

## Batch one-liners
```
blender -b -P scripts/batch_process.py -- --in "assets/**/*.fbx" --op convert --to glb --out export/
blender -b -P scripts/batch_process.py -- --in library/ --op report                      # inventory JSON lines
blender -b -P scripts/batch_process.py -- --in "src/*.blend" --op script \
    --script ../blender-asset-qa/scripts/qa_check.py --kwargs '{"profile":"game"}'       # QA a whole library
blender -b -P scripts/batch_process.py -- --in src/ --op script --script ../blender-game-optimization/scripts/make_lods.py \
    --kwargs '{"rename":true}' --save-to processed/                                      # LODs for every file
```
Each file is streamed as one JSON line with `ok`, timing and results. Failures don't stop the batch, and the summary lists them. **Parallel**: start N processes with `--shard 0/N` … `--shard N-1/N` (Blender uses one core for Python, so processes scale with CPU/GPU count).
