What it does
Blender to web export workflows for 3D models and animations. Use this skill when exporting Blender models to glTF for web, optimizing 3D assets for Three.js or Babylon.js, batch processing models with Python scripts, automating Blender workflows, or creating web-ready 3D pipelines. Triggers on tasks involving Blender glTF export, bpy scripting, 3D asset optimization, model compression, texture baking, or Blender automation. Exports models for threejs-webgl, react-three-fiber, and babylonjs-engine skills.
Blender Web Pipeline
Overview
Blender Web Pipeline skill provides workflows for exporting 3D models and animations from Blender to web-optimized formats (primarily glTF 2.0). It covers Python scripting for batch processing, optimization techniques for web performance, and integration with web 3D libraries like Three.js and Babylon.js.
When to use this skill:
- Exporting Blender models for web applications
- Batch processing multiple 3D assets
- Optimizing file sizes for web delivery
- Automating repetitive Blender tasks
- Creating production pipelines for 3D web content
- Converting legacy formats to glTF
Key capabilities:
- glTF 2.0 export with optimization
- Python (bpy) automation scripts
- Texture baking and compression
- LOD (Level of Detail) generation
- Batch processing workflows
- Material and lighting optimization for web
Core Concepts
glTF 2.0 Format
Why glTF for Web:
- Industry-standard 3D format for web
- Efficient binary encoding (.glb)
- PBR materials support
- Animation and skinning
- Extensible with custom data
- Wide library support (Three.js, Babylon.js, etc.)
glTF vs GLB:
.gltf = JSON + external .bin + external textures
.glb = Single binary file (recommended for web)
Blender Python API (bpy)
Access Blender data and operations via Python:
import bpy
# Access scene data
scene = bpy.context.scene
objects = bpy.data.objects
# Modify objects
obj = bpy.data.objects['Cube']
obj.location = (0, 0, 1)
obj.scale = (2, 2, 2)
# Export glTF
bpy.ops.export_scene.gltf(
filepath='/path/to/model.glb',
export_format='GLB'
)
Web Optimization Goals
Target Metrics:
- File size: <5 MB per model (ideal <1 MB)
- Polygon count: <50k triangles for real-time
- Texture resolution: 2048x2048 max (1024x1024 preferred)
- Draw calls: Minimize via texture atlases
- Load time: <2 seconds on average connection
