blender-hardsurface-modeling SKILL.md skillA
blender-hardsurface-modeling from el4cteo/blender-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add el4cteo/blender-skills/blender-hardsurface-modeling@v1.2.0Pins v1.2.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Hard-surface and prop modeling in Blender 5.2 - blockout-to-detail flow, non-destructive modifier stacks (Mirror, Boolean Exact/Manifold, Bevel, Weighted Normal, Smooth by Angle), mid-poly vs subdivision vs high-to-low workflows, shading/custom normals, cylinder segment budgets, edge attributes from Python. Use for weapons, vehicles, props, architecture, mechanical parts.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Hard-Surface Modeling The execution model is in `blender-core`. Run `blender-asset-qa` after every modeling pass. ## Pick the workflow first | Workflow | When | Output | |---|---|---| | **Mid-poly** (bevel + weighted normals, no bake) | modern games, props seen up close, fast iteration | game mesh directly; tiling materials/trim sheets | | **High → low** (high via booleans+bevel or subd, low baked) | hero assets, unique textures, tight tri budgets | `_high` + `_low` → `blender-texture-baking` | | **Subdivision** (support loops/creases + Subsurf) | renders, product viz, film | smooth surfaces, edges held by loops/creases | ## Procedure 1. **Blockout** at real scale (`ob.dimensions`) from primitives. Settle the silhouette and proportions before any detail. Check against references. 2. **Apply scale** (`transform_apply(scale=True)`) before bevels, booleans or solidify, because modifier distances use object space. 3. **Primary → secondary → tertiary** forms. Booleans for cuts and panels, then bevels. Small tertiary details go in normal maps/decals, or into the high-poly as "floaters" for baking. …

How to install
mdr add el4cteo/blender-skills/blender-hardsurface-modeling@sha256:64362339cf0bf4d3The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
