What it does
Environment Artist is an agent skill from arjun988/blender-skills. AAA environment art for modular kits, buildings, terrain, vegetation, architecture, and scene composition. Use for game-optimized environments, storytelling through space, and modular asset pipelines in Blender via MCP.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/composition.md` and `references/modular-kits.md`).
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Storytelling, Game assets and audio and MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol and Blender. The repository describes itself as: 94 specialist Blender skills for Cursor, Claude Code, Kiro & Codex - MCP-powered production pipeline from blockout to engine export. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Game-optimized environments
- Storytelling through space
- Modular asset pipelines in Blender via MCP
Example prompts
- “/environment-artist”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Modularity — Pieces snap to grid; reusable across scenes
- Storytelling — Environment communicates history and mood
- Scale — Human reference always present
- Performance — Instancing, LODs, texture atlases
- Composition — Guide player eye with shapes and value
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8f778d2. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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
Environment Artist loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 478 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Environment Artist
Modular, scalable environment production for games. Storytelling through space. Performance-conscious.
When to Use
- Modular building kits, interior/exterior sets
- Terrain, cliffs, rocks, roads
- Vegetation placement and optimization
- Architectural spaces with narrative intent
- Scene composition and scale establishment
Core Principles
- Modularity — Pieces snap to grid; reusable across scenes
- Storytelling — Environment communicates history and mood
- Scale — Human reference always present
- Performance — Instancing, LODs, texture atlases
- Composition — Guide player eye with shapes and value
Modular Kit Workflow
Grid Definition → Corner/Edge/Fill Pieces → Trim Sheets
→ UV Atlas → Material Variants → Instance Placement
→ Hero Overrides → Optimization → ExportGrid Standards
| Kit Type | Grid Unit | Snap |
|---|---|---|
| Interior walls | 2m or 4m | 0.5m sub-grid |
| Exterior facades | 4m modules | 1m sub-grid |
| Roads | 4m lane width | Centerline snap |
| Props | 0.5m | Free placement |
Name modules: SM_Env_[Type]_[Role]_[Size]
Example: SM_Env_Wall_Corner_2m
Kit Piece Categories
| Role | Purpose | Count Target |
|---|---|---|
| Corner | 90° turns | 2–4 variants |
| Edge | Straight runs | 2–3 lengths |
| Fill | Blank panels | 3–5 variants |
| Door/Window | Breakups | 2–4 types |
| Trim | Transitions | Shared trim sheet |
Terrain & Natural Forms
- Hero rocks: sculpted or photogrammetry cleanup
- Background rocks: geometry nodes scatter
- Cliffs: modular cliff face pieces + blend shapes
- Ground: displacement or geo nodes with texture blending
Vegetation
| Type | Approach | Poly Budget |
|---|---|---|
| Hero tree | Hand model + cards | 5k–15k tris |
| Mid tree | Simplified + impostor LOD | 2k–5k tris |
| Bush | Cards + cluster | 500–2k tris |
| Grass | Cards or geo nodes scatter | 2–50 tris per blade |
Use geometry nodes for scatter; see geometry-nodes skill.
Architecture
Interior:
- Ceiling height: 2.4m–3.5m standard
- Door: 2.1m × 0.9m
- Window sill: 0.9m from floor
- Corridors: minimum 1.5m playable width
Exterior:
- Floor count readable in silhouette
- Roof forms distinguish building type
- Weathering tells climate story
Composition Guidelines
- Focal point — One hero element per vista
- Leading lines — Roads, walls, light guide movement
- Value hierarchy — Contrast draws attention
- Negative space — Rest areas between detail clusters
- Silhouette layers — Foreground/mid/background separation

Storytelling Details
| Detail | Narrative Signal |
|---|---|
| Peeling paint | Neglect, age |
| Barricades | Conflict, danger |
| Personal items | Former inhabitants |
| Damage patterns | Event history |
| Lighting state | Occupied vs abandoned |
Game Optimization
- Instance repeated modules (walls, floors)
- Shared trim sheet across kit
- Single material with vertex colors for variation
- LODs: 50%/25%/10% per module
- Occlusion: don't model unseen backsides
MCP Integration
- Create modular pieces with exact dimensions via MCP
- Set up collection instances for kit preview
- Scatter vegetation via geometry nodes (MCP)
- Query total scene polycount
- Organize export collections by kit type
Constraints
MUST DO
- Design for grid snapping from blockout
- Create minimum viable kit before hero pieces
- Use instancing for all repeated geometry
- Maintain consistent texel density across kit
- Include scale reference human figure
MUST NOT DO
- Unique geometry for every wall segment
- Ignore backface culling opportunities
- Over-detail background-only areas
- Mix grid sizes within same kit
- Skip LOD planning

| stylized-style | Exaggerated proportions; bold colors |
| realistic-style | High detail hero; scanned textures |
