What it does

3D Assets is an agent skill from arielshad/3d-asset-server. Find and download free 3D models, PBR textures/materials, HDRIs and game asset packs (glTF, FBX, Blend, EXR) from 20 sites like Poly Haven, ambientCG, Kenney and BlenderKit via https://3d.shep.bot, with licences. Use when the user needs 3D assets, textures, environment maps or game art for a project.

Its SKILL.md is about 480 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 27 other files (for example `AGENTS.md`, `collections/free-animated-character-models.md` and `collections/free-brick-textures.md`).

It sits in Game Development, covering Game assets and audio. The repository describes itself as: 3d assets api and mcp. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user needs 3D assets
  • Environment maps
  • Game art for a project

Example prompts

  • “/3d-assets”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Search (pick a type; prefer free and directly downloadable)
  2. Check the files and size for the format you need
  3. Download into the project (zip for multi-file assets, otherwise the file itself)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9f99536. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • 3d.shep.bot

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

3D Assets loads about 476 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 154 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~476

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Use when the user needs 3D assets, textures, environment maps or game art for a project.

3D assets via 3d.shep.bot

Search 20 asset sites in one call and download files into the project. No API key needed.

Workflow

  1. Search (pick a type; prefer free and directly downloadable):

    bash
    curl -s "https://3d.shep.bot/v1/search?q=QUERY&type=model&free=true&downloadable=true&limit=8"

    Types: model, material, texture, hdri, sprite, ui, audio, font, pack. Each result has id, title, provider, url, thumbnailUrl, license, formats, resolutions, downloadable.

  2. Check the files and size for the format you need:

    bash
    curl -s "https://3d.shep.bot/v1/assets/ID/files?format=glb&resolution=2k"
  3. Download into the project (zip for multi-file assets, otherwise the file itself):

    bash
    curl -L -o assets/NAME.zip "https://3d.shep.bot/v1/assets/ID/download?format=gltf&resolution=2k"
    unzip -o assets/NAME.zip -d assets/

Rules

  • URL-encode the id (polyhaven:ArmChair_01 → polyhaven%3AArmChair_01).
  • Format by target: three.js/web glb/gltf, Blender blend, Unity/Unreal fbx, lighting hdr/exr, textures 2k jpg/png maps.
  • Prefer CC0 sources for commercial projects. Always report the licence; if attributionRequired, write the credit line (title, author, source URL, licence) into the project's credits or README.
  • 409 from download = no direct files; give the user the asset url instead.
  • Check /files totalBytes before pulling 8k textures or 16k HDRIs.
